The project doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. Therefore, I decided to revive it and make it functional. Additional Support and revisions will be added soon (or not all depends of this pr gets merged)

Changelog:

1. Discord Tauri's window size is more accurate now.
2. Updated Tauri
3. Fixed issues related to compilation and launching
4. Added window decoration back (will probably add another pr with the usage of window shadows)

Please review the changes and merge the changes as soon as possible.

We’d like to make a proof of concept of a Tauri-powered @Discourse app.

Might you be interested in working on this for us as a paid gig? Sorry to use your issues for this, but I couldn’t find any other contact info. You can reach me privately via the email on my profile.

This PR:

• Bumps the version to 0.3.0

This was pretty fun to make, hope it's a step in the right direction!

All the data on the normal Discord is stored in the app.asar file that can be decompressed using the command asar e app.asar out

It could also be possible to use the OpenAsar implementation of it which is ridiculously small however I don't know how it really works.

Generally speaking we can't just extract the thing because everything is in Javascript and uses the Electron API but it's just an idea, and maybe something could be done with that, it would avoid having to fetch all the assets and others from the website since everything would be bundled inside the binary.

I did a few more optimisations on the binary size by adding the following to the Cargo.toml file :

[profile.release]
strip = true
opt-level = "z"
lto = true
codegen-units = 1
panic = "abort"

Then I ran this to reduce the binary even more :

upx --best --lzma src-tauri/target/release/tauricord

All of this left me with a final binary that is just 656K.

(the optimisations come from here)

PS: It is worth noting that upx might make the initial load time of the app a bit slower because I think it has to decompress the binary in the RAM. Also I just noticed that this project is a bit more complex than I thought, so my project actually doesn't have all the things in the main.rs file and I'm on Linux too.

I get that it's webview so it's a bit more annoying to work around this, but there really should be an option to open links in your default browser instead of webview
