Anyway Discord is claiming they've got a long-simmering Rust rewrite of their client that replaces React Native with a "fully native" client. Anyone know what Rust UI framework they're actually using here, or if they wrote their own?

@uep "From the creators of Zed" oh, that's worrisome… how slopped is this? I don't see telltale CLAUDE or SKILLS files
The thing about Rust UI frameworks is that the community LOVES creating UI frameworks but hates finishing them. I've seen so many "adequate" Rust UIs and grope to locate one which I would describe as "Macintosh Quality"
(Though based on what the Macintosh users have been saying about the last few releases, this may be an outdated term)
@mcc geez all they have to do is get a copy of the macOS system 7 HIG and go to town. They’d win the Internet.
Got a reply it's this
Looks appealing, but the fact the Zed devs are involved makes me wary. What's that script that looks for signs of AI code assistants? SlopSpotter or SlopScore or something.
I am engaged in a project of trying to figure out which parts of the Rust library ecosystem I can still trust. And I never *actually* learned to use Iced. And Tauri, which was gonna be my escape hatch, has fucked off to "AI is okay if you're 'responsible' for it!" land
@mcc Most recent commit as I type this is coauthored by Claude, so... signs look bad?
@mcc if you wanna check for claude, usually searching for the word "honest" does it. for example.
@mcc i like, 2 days ago, checked a repo that had enormous claude smell (but was undisclosed) like this and the word "honest" had over 100 hits in the codebase, mostly in comments. it's completely unhinged.
@mcc I saw at least one BSky post today where someone was eager to vibecode a port from React Native using this new library...
@mcc this one is what i've been using https://slopscore.ava.pet/scan
its by @star
@mcc uh oh, this means trouble for adblocking/themes on the client
