🚀 Following it up, here's a sneak peek of what we'll be dropping this Friday.

👨‍💻 We're hiring a Senior Backend Engineer

We're looking for a Senior Java Developer who has good experience in API development and integrations. Working experience or familiarity with Spring Boot, REST APIs, Schema Design, ORM frameworks, and Microservices will be a big plus. A humble request: please share this with anyone who you think is the right fit for this profile or on your social media. Would be of immense help 🙏. Mail us the resumes at prao@threado.com.

🎙️ Discord's new Stage Discovery portal will connect live audio event with communities

The company launched Stage Channels, its own Clubhouse-like voice event rooms, in late March. With those building blocks in place, in June Discord will start surfacing events (think open mic nights, book clubs, etc.) through a new portal called Stage Discovery, adding a way for anybody to connect with the cool communities in the process.

You'll soon be able to discover live Stage Channels on Discord through their new Stage Discovery feature. Slated for June, this will allow easier discoverability of live audio rooms. Something that isn't quite as easy on apps like Twitter Spaces & Clubhouse (for now).

💬 Free-chat friendly community-chat alternatives

As Big Tech companies have continued to mass censor public social media platforms and used their algorithms to manipulate the posts that users see, the popularity of community chat apps has soared. These alternatives provide many of the same community chat features as Discord without the censorship. Many also use privacy-preserving technology that ensures that only you and the people you’re chatting with can see the conversations.
