README
# PreMiD-rs
Alternative [PreMiD](https://premid.app/) backend written in Rust. Ditch that bloated [official Electron-based backend](https://github.com/PreMiD/PreMiD) and free up your precious RAM and disk space!
Please note that this program doesn't include any bells and whistles, it just provides Discord rich presence.
> [!WARNING]
> This project uses relateively unstable libraries. It should work but use at your own discretion until we publish a stable release.
## Comparison
Rust backend vs Electron-based backend:
| Feature | Rust Backend | Official Backend |
|---------------------|--------------|------------------|
| Disk space required | ~11MB | ~200MB |
| RAM usage | ~8MB | ~20MB |
| GUI | No | Yes |
| Tray icon | No | Yes |
| Auto updater | No | Yes |
## Installation
1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/sleeyax/PreMiD-rs/releases/latest).
2. (optional) Add the program to startup so it launches on PC boot/login.
3. Execute the program from a terminal/cmd. You won't see any output by default. Specify an environment variable [below](#commands) for more output options.
## Missing features
Known missing features:
- Settings
- Local presence (for presence development)
I'm undecided whether these features should be added. Open an issue if you wish to discuss this!
## Development
Requires [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) to be installed on your system (duh).
