About Ripcord
Ripcord is a desktop chat client for group-centric services like Slack and Discord. It provides a traditional compact desktop interface designed for power users. It's not built on top of web browser technology: it has a small resource footprint, responds quickly to input, and gets out of your way. Shareware is coming back, baby.
Ripcord is developed independently, and is not affiliated with Slack or Discord.
How to install Ripcord

- Prefer the command line? With Flatpak you can install and update it with: flatpak install flathub fm.cancel.Ripcord
