SolidCord

A work in progress fast and open-source handcrafted web client for Discord that is made with performance in mind. Uses Tauri and SolidJS.

By "handcrafted", I actually mean "without using any package that gives us helpers for Discord's API, even typings".

Features

Simultaneous connections

Whenever you add an account, a connection to the gateway with this account will be kept until the app is exited - or you remove the account from SolidCord.

That allows to have notifications and message caching for multiple accounts.

Of course, this behavior can be toggled in the account selector - TODO.

Native HTTP / WebSockets

Internally uses Tauri's HTTP API and tauri-plugin-websocket#v1

Requests aren't done in the WebView (using the web Fetch API) but within Rust directly !

Concerning WebSockets, I'm trying to see if I can also do zlib-stream compression and etf encoding there.

Development

Environment

# Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/Vexcited/SolidCord

# Navigate into the folder, if not done.
cd SolidCord

# Use pnpm to install dependencies.
pnpm install

Please, try to stick with pnpm so we don't conflict with any other Node.js package manager.

If you need to update cargo packages for the src-tauri folder,

cd src-tauri
cargo update
