comcord
A CLI-based client for Discord inspired by SDF's commode.
Why?
- All CLI/TUI Discord clients are outdated/unmaintained or have flaws.
- I've been spending more time in commode on SDF and have been accustomed to the experience.
Usage
pnpm inode 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.
