Project link: https://discord.com/

Qualifications

ZeroVer's patent-pending zero-based versioning scheme can obviously be used by everyone, but not every usage is necessarily notable. Check that the first and at least one other criterion apply:

  • A current ZeroVer-compliant version (0.*) or long history of ZeroVer usage, and
  • Very wide exposure (i.e., 1,000+ GitHub stars), or
  • Active promotion as part of a paid product or service (e.g., Hashicorp Vault), or
  • Relative maturity and infrastructural importance (e.g., Compiz, docutils)

Additional notability info

Discord is a very popular communication platform with 200+ million monthly users. While it is far from open-source and is very commercial; it does allow custom bots to interact quite in-depth with the platform through a well-documented API. It is quite customizable in terms of creating communities and has excellent moderation tools. However, Discord does not support any level of self-hosting, federation, or even built-in end-to-end encryption. All information sent on the platform is entirely unencrypted (except standard client-server encryption) and stored on Discord's servers, so use it with discretion.

Citation info

Discord is probably quite an unusual addition to 0ver, as it is closed-source and very commercial. I completely understand if this issue is closed without Discord being added.

This issue refers specifically to Discord for Linux and macOS. The current release versions of all applications are:
