This project is a completely refreshed and re-architected version of Code with Antonio's popular Discord Clone, integrating modern enterprise-grade solutions. Designed to provide a robust and elegant experience, this clone extends the original functionality while serving as a learning tool for developers. It features updated navigation, file uploads, video and voice messaging, Clerk authentication, and more.
- File Uploads: Powered by UploadThing with image analysis for seamless management.
- Video and Voice Messaging: Real-time communication capabilities via LiveKit.
- Authentication: Secure and scalable authentication through Clerk.
- AI Integration: Enhanced messaging and interaction with AI-powered responses.
- Enterprise-Grade Navigation: Reimagined for scalability and usability.
- Elegant Design: Featuring Framer Motion animations and a polished user interface.
This project builds upon the foundational concepts in Code with Antonio's Discord Clone. Antonio's videos are invaluable learning resources, and while much of his content is behind a paywall, this repository provides an accessible way for developers to explore, learn, and expand their skills. This effort aligns with similar projects, including:
- Next LMS Clone
- Notion Clone
- NextJS Commerce Site and Admin Dashboard
- AirBNB Clone
- KenDev Taskify (Trello Clone)
- Payload CMS repositories
The ultimate goal is to integrate this Discord Clone with Payload CMS 3.0, unlocking advanced features like collection hooks and deeper content management capabilities.

Building a Modern Communication Hub: The NextJS Discord Clone
In today’s fast-paced tech landscape, developers need robust tools to learn, build, and expand their skillsets. Inspired by Code with Antonio’s Discord Clone, I’ve reimagined this project as a cutting-edge communication hub with enterprise-grade solutions.
This clone isn’t just a replication; it’s a transformation. It includes:
- File Uploads: With UploadThing and image analysis for seamless management.
- Video/Voice Messaging: Real-time communication through LiveKit.
- Authentication: Secure login with Clerk.
- AI Integration: Smart responses for enhanced interactions.
- Elegant Navigation: Rebuilt for scalability and usability.
- Polished Design: Featuring Framer Motion animations.
Antonio’s videos provide incredible learning opportunities, but they’re often locked behind a paywall. By maintaining and sharing updated examples, I aim to democratize access to these concepts, helping developers learn and grow. This project joins a suite of refreshed builds, including the Next LMS Clone, Notion Clone, AirBNB Clone, and more.
The next step is integrating this project with Payload CMS 3.0. With its collection hooks and content management capabilities, it will transform the app into an autonomous system for communication and collaboration.
I’m available for new opportunities and collaborations. Check out my portfolio at folio.kendev.co or visit kendev.co.
Together, let’s build the future of software.
