Developer svishnevskiy demos the new Discord client: lower RAM usage is just part of the story — clicks feel instant and boot time is dramatically faster (video included).
The post sparked talk that the rewrite likely uses Zed's GPUI framework, with uwukko saying he might try GPUI next. A notable real-world showcase for anyone interested in desktop app performance and Rust UI frameworks.
