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.
+1 for this
Holy shit, I have to try this. Thank you so much!
Mumble does the same for voice chats
