Switchence

Switchence is a simple Nintendo Switch rich presence app that allows you to show what game you're playing on Discord. What makes this better than other Discord rich presence apps is that this one auto-updates its game list whenever you start it so you don't have to create your own Discord app, add your own images and edit the json file.

Features

Auto-updating 🔄

Not only does the program auto-update itself, but its game list does as well! This ensures sure you're always up to date with the latest version.

Growing game list ⬆️

Not only is the game list huge already, it's being actively updated for all of the latest big game releases. If you want to add a game you can make a game request.

Easy setup 😌

The program is easy to set up for your friend code and has many options built into the program. You can view all of the available settings by typing 'options' in the set game input.

Very fast 🏃

Switchence is very fast! Staying as fast as possible, so you don't have to wait at all for the program to load.

Active community 🙋

Have a question, issue or game request? Well ask away! You are guaranteed to get a response within the next couple of days!

Good code documentation 📄

Game Requests 🎮

I do take requests for games. All you have to do is create an issue with the title being "Game Request" and the game name in the description. I should be able to add your game in the next game list update soon after I see your request!

Wrong/bad image for a game?

Let me know! I'd prefer if you could find one that's at least 512x512 to help me out because searching for good game images can be hard sometimes. But if you say it looks bad and I agree I'll change it!

Find an error? ❌

Report it! You can do so by creating an issue so I can figure out how to help you and/or fix the problem for the next release!

Supported OS 🖥

I currently support Windows and Linux officially for this app. It may or may not work for Mac. If it doesn't work for Mac, there is no guarantee I can fix the incompatibility issue.

Contributions ❤️

I'd love to get some help! I'm not the most advanced programmer out there so I'd love some support with my project! Anything from minor spelling fixes to bigger code improvements are welcomed at all time. Your pull request will be reviewed soon after you send it in so you can get some fast feedback.
