# comcord
A CLI-based client for Discord inspired by [SDF](https://sdf.org)'s [commode](https://sdf.org/?tutorials/comnotirc).
## Why?
1. All CLI/TUI Discord clients are outdated/unmaintained or have flaws.
2. I've been spending more time in commode on SDF and have been accustomed to the experience.
## Usage
1. `pnpm i`
2. `node src/index.js <token>`
Currently only bot accounts are supported, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon.
Eris has a lot of user-only endpoints implemented, but it would require hacking apart Eris to do the things nessicary to spoof being the actual client.
I also don't want to give skids an easy point of reference of how to spoof the client. :^)
You **MUST** grant your bot all Privileged Gateway Intents.
## Design Decisions
* Node.js was chosen currently due to familiarity.
* Eris was chosen due to familiarity and the nature of everything not being abstracted out to 200 different classes unlike discord.js.
* "Jank" by design. While I don't expect anyone to actually use comcord on serial terminals or teletypes other than for meme factor, the option is still there.
