## Priority Recommendations
|
|
|
|
### Critical gaps (would block most Discord/Guilded users)
|
|
|
|
1. **Direct Messages** — no way to message users outside servers
|
|
2. **Mobile app** — major adoption blocker
|
|
3. **Voice push-to-talk** — important for voice-heavy communities
|
|
4. **Email notifications** — needed for async engagement
|
|
5. **Read receipts / unread state** — channel-level read tracking
|
|
|
|
### High-value next features
|
|
|
|
1. **Screen share** — LiveKit supports it; mostly frontend work
|
|
2. **Custom emoji / reactions beyond unicode** — core Discord behavior
|
|
3. **Server groups (sub-servers)** — channel organization
|
|
4. **Do Not Disturb schedule** — notification control
|
|
5. **Third-party integrations** — Twitch, YouTube, GitHub
|
|
6. **Stage channels** — presentation-style voice
|
|
|
|
### Nice-to-have differentiators
|
|
|
|
1. **No-code Flow Bots** (Guilded-style automations)
|
|
2. **Server discovery / directory**
|
|
3. **Activities / embedded games**
|
|
4. **Federation** (Fluxer-style)
|
|
5. **Server analytics**
|
