cd Vesktop

# Install Dependencies

pnpm package --linux pacman
# Or package to a directory only
pnpm package:dir

Motivation

The official Discord Desktop app is very resource heavy compared to Discord in your Browser. There are multiple alternative Electron apps (ArmCord, WebCord, probably more) that prove how much of a performance gain you can gain by using a custom app. ArmCord already supports Vencord but makes it pretty limited for us. Making our own standalone app gives us much more control.
