Just dropped v1.4-beta of ONYX — an open-source, privacy-first messenger with E2E encryption for private chats and self-hostable groups/channels.

This release is mostly about media experience.

Voice Channels — but with a twist. If you're self-hosting an ONYX server on your local network, you now get real-time voice inside your group. No cloud, no third-party servers.

Media Player — vinyl record animation when playing music, seek ±10 seconds, playback speed from 0.25x to 4x with presets, next/previous track, auto-repeat. Audio files now show their filename instead of a generic label.

Audio Settings — microphone and output device selection, so you can actually choose what hardware ONYX uses.

Why ONYX?

Would love feedback, especially from anyone running it on LAN setups.

Obligatory mention: if you can, try and switch away from GitHub! I highly recommend codeberg, which is based on the self-host able software, Forgejo.

    Mumble does the same for voice chats

    Mumble's UX/UI is so arcane, my friends don't want to use it.

    I shudder to imagine what they'd think of a car with a clutch and a left-toe switch for the high-beams.

    You've got suppy-chain attacks and boutique complexity in three easy steps. Squeeze it into a flatpak or crutch on containers to frustrate validation and it's the perfect footgun from a security standpoint.
