comm VS vineflower

We're basically working on this at Comm: https://github.com/CommE2E/comm

Comm | engineering | NYC onsite | https://comm.app

We're a startup based in NYC working on a Web3 Discord alternative. Comm is crypto-native messaging based on federated keyservers.

Our long-term goal is to build an alternative to the centralized application server model that dominates Web2. Sophisticated apps (like Discord) need a backend, but today those backends are controlled by corporations. Our solution is to replace the cloud with a network of personal, private application servers (we call them “keyservers”).

I starting working on Comm earlier this year. I’m a programmer by trade and previously worked at FB for 5 years. We currently have 10 devs actively contributing to our codebase, including 5 here in NYC.

We raised a small pre-seed round in February from some big names and are looking to raise our seed in the next 4 months.

this is kind of a silly point, but the quilt community is just nicer to be around than any of the other ones in my experience, which has real effects: e.g., you attract people really really good at decompiler tech and create quiltflower which is a decompiler so good Java professionals use it. inclusivity matters! the cutting edge happens on quilt

The only way is to reverse-engineer it. Use something like quiltflower or javap if you want to be extra sure, and have a look through the Java code

Firstly, we have to decompile the JAR, turning the bytecode back into Java. This is a very difficult job: a lot of work has been put into the tools to make this happen.

Alternatively, there's this new project that I haven't tried yet: https://github.com/QuiltMC/quiltflower

The decompiler they used to view that code is not very good, that output is garbled.

If you're going to take apart JVM bytecode, you're better off using Recafe or Quiltflower.

They are community contributed (through using decompilers to see what the classes do) and decompiler toolchains have ways of instrumenting classes with javadoc. They are also incomplete, you really can't write a mod using only a javadocs page

runs nice with jbang https://github.com/QuiltMC/quiltflower/releases/download/1.8.1/quiltflower-1.8.1.jar
