A Discord web-based client made with the Electron API, developed with Electron Forge.
WebCord tries to enchance a little more user privacy by allowing the user to block any third-party website by overwritting website CSP header to the one configured via the settings. It also blocks some unnecesary services as well, like Sentry.
WebCord takes a differend approach from most clients, as it isn't just a mod of the official client nor does it use the Discord API to be functional – it is currently based on the web version of the Discord, which makes it more trusted solution in my opinion. As it even fakes the user agent to make it equal or similar to the one used by Chrome/Chromium, it is hard to detect it and block users from using it.
It began as a fork of the Discord-Electron, but then eventually I had rewritten it as Electron Discord Web App project, which is currently called WebCord (to make that horribly long name a bit shorter 😉). However because @GyozaGuy made his own project, I learnt much about Electron and how to implement a Discord client with it by analyzing his code. Thanks to his work, this project could begin on its own.
