# DiscordQt
[](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord-qt-appimage)
[](https://github.com/ruslang02/discord-qt/actions)
[](https://github.com/ruslang02/discord-qt/blob/master/package.json)
[](https://discord.gg/tNNuUK4)
A Discord desktop client powered by Node.JS and [NodeGui](https://github.com/nodegui).
It offers a significantly less resource-consuming experience comparing to the official Electron-based desktop client thanks to native UI rendering instead of a Chromium rendering engine.
### **[Download](https://github.com/ruslang02/discord-qt/releases/latest) for Windows, Linux and ~~macOS~~**
**Currently macOS builds are broken. Looking for Windows and macOS maintainers to configure builds and implement features.**
## Arch Linux and derivatives
This application is also available in Arch User Repository (AUR): [discord-qt-appimage](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord-qt-appimage/)
## Building from sources
[Node.JS v10+](https://github.com/nodejs/node) is required to build.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ruslang02/discord-qt
cd discord-qt/
npm install
npm start
```
## Configuration
In order to run this application you **must** obtain a Discord user token [(how-to guide)](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Obtaining-Token-and-Channel-IDs).
You can configure your user accounts, as well as other settings in the Settings screen.
## Plugins
Plugins should be located in `~/.config/discord-qt/plugins` and represent itself as an npm-like package with `discord-qt` and `plugin` keywords placed in `package.json`. Currently available plugins:
- [mpris-dqt-plugin](https://github.com/ruslang02/mpris-dqt-plugin)
## Fonts
By default, the application uses Source Sans Pro font. However, if you want an even more seamless experience, you need to obtain a copy of Whitney fonts (commercial fonts used by Discord) and put them into `/assets/fonts` folder. In order to activate them, uncomment line with Whitley font in `/src/windows/RootWindow.scss` and rebuild.
## Notice
[Discord's Terms of Service](https://discord.com/terms) do not explictly prohibit the usage of third-party clients, however we can not guarantee that accounts using this application will not be disabled.
DiscordQt does its best to only *replicate* official client's functionality. Authors of DiscordQt discourage usage and modification of this project's source code in the ways that may violate service's Terms of Service.
