This looks very ugly compared to other matrix clients

This may be a matter of taste, because I quite like the approach the ekte team have taken.

To my eye, the app is clean and minimal and shows me everything I need easily.

It's great that etke.cc chose to build on nheko (a very fast Matrix client) and put in many thoughtful upgrades.

I really hope Komai start getting built for macOS.

While I could understand some AI assistance, I just cannot look at such README with clearly sloppy too detailed nonsense app icon and eyesore emoji vomit:

It is utterly annoying to see emojis pollute information presented in a technical manner. It’s the hallmark of generated technical slop and seems to appeal to the perpetual resume polishers found on LinkedIn.

Having the core your app be written in languages you self-admittedly don't understand is a bold move. I've been a big fan of the ansible-matrix playbooks for a while now so I'm willing to see this play out, but it doesn't fill me with confidence.
