Chatto 0.5 Feature Preview: UI too hard (or maybe a little too easy?!) to read? You can now adjust UI contrast to match your age, errr, personal preference.

Who has the nicest voice activity animation? I have the nicest voice activity animation! (Audio stripped for privacy, just imagine two handsome Germans speaking Deutsch die ganze Zeit jaaaaa?)

Chatto 0.5 Feature Preview: Privileged Permission Activation! If you're hanging out on a server where you have privileged permissions (editing rooms, messages, accounts, bots, ...), you now have to arm them first. Arming permissions is logged and automatically deactivates after 15 minutes.

We're hard at work with Chatto 0.5! If you want to learn more about what's coming, drop by Chatto HQ this Thursday for our Community Q&A. July 23, 20:00 CEST / 18:00 UTC / 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT

A Chatto message from Hendrik, our social media manager:

Chatto Community Q&A — THURSDAY (July 23) 20:00 CEST / 18:00 UTC / 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT

We're doing another one of these! Focus on the upcoming version 0.5 (no surprise release, I'm sorry!), how Chatto is doing and where it's going, and more. We're planning to go for an hour, with maybe some extended overtime if we all feel like it.

We'll use the Chatto video call feature in one of our channels here, will ping you when we're about to get started!

Random Chatto Fun Fact: We didn't want to cram the executable with megabytes of notification sounds, so instead Chatto is synthesizing all of them at runtime through the miracle that is the Web Audio API. Some are even slightly randomized! Pew pew pew!
