Looks cool, bookmarket for later use !

However, the GUI looks very Discordish and is probably inspired by it. I hope it only stays at that and won't put some shady privacy nightmare code into it !

To me this looks nothing like Discord beyond having a compact sidebar... In fact, I would hope that Discord never inspires any software UI, because it really fucking sucks.

It's probably not a good idea to infer how privacy friendly an open source software is, based on such a superficial visual similarity to a closed source proprietary product.

The UI is the main point of RomM project, the actual emulation is done by another tool called EmulatorJS
