Hey, I'm Roman — building Blok, a Discord alternative with AI and gacha mechanics

Hey everyone!

I'm Roman, solo dev behind Blok — a native desktop chat platform for communities. Think Discord, but with an AI co-pilot built into the chat and a gacha loot system on top.

• Servers, voice, video, screen share

• AI assistant (b.ai.t) — summarizes channels, runs polls, translates

• Gacha loot system — XP, quests, loot boxes for cosmetics (no pay-to-win)

• Native desktop app: Tauri + Rust for voice, Supabase backend

Bootstrapped, been building for about 5 months, currently in public beta. Just launched here on PH — would love your support and any feedback: https://www.producthunt.com/products/blok-desktop-communication-platform

Happy to answer questions about the stack or the product itself!
