ArmCord is a custom client designed to enhance your Discord experience while keeping everything lightweight. 

# Features

* **Standalone client** - ArmCord is built as standalone client, it doesn't rely on original Discord client.
* **Various mods built in** - Explore Cumcord/GooseMod/Flicker plugins and their features!
* **Made for Privacy** - ArmCord automatically blocks Discord's trackers.
* **Faster than normal Discord app** - ArmCord is using newer Electron than stock Discord app. This usually means increased performance and more stable experience.
* **Designed to work anywhere** - ArmCord was initially created in mind to run on Arm64 Linux devices. We soon expanded our support to more platforms. We plan to support every platform that [Electron supports](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/support#supported-platforms).

# FAQ
## 1.Will I get banned from using it?

## 2.How does this work?   

 -We are using official web app and adding some magic powder to make it all work!   
## 3.Can I use this on other architectures or operating systems?

 -Yes! ArmCord should work normally under Windows, ~~Mac OS~~ (Mac OS is broken see [#48](https://github.com/ArmCord/ArmCord/issues/48)) and Linux as long as it has NodeJS, npm and Electron support.
