OpenAsar

Open-source alternative of Discord desktop's app.asar

Goals

• Hotpluggable - just swap the asar file, nothing else needed
• Lightweight - it should be at least as fast or lightweight, hopefully more
• No Tracking - no crash reporting, error tracking, etc
• Minimal - generally only doing what is needed (see: implementation)

Implementation

Below is a list in order of priority, marked as complete when finished:

• Bootstrapping
• Splash screen
• Error handling
• A bunch of specific minor fixes / features
  • Handle hardware acceleration
• Auto start
• First run
• Self-write updater code (currently mostly copied)
• Self-write some small parts of internals
