Could you build this?
Partial A terminal UI for Discord text chat is straightforward, but integrating full Discord voice chat requires implementing low-level encrypted UDP audio pipelines.
What it would actually take: The frontend uses a TUI library (such as Ratatui or Bubbletea) communicating with Discord's gateway. The complex component is the voice engine: negotiating voice gateway WebSockets, managing low-latency UDP packets encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305, handling Opus encoding/decoding, and managing native OS audio streams without blocking the terminal event loop.
