Lightweight alternative Discord client with a smaller footprint and some fancy extensible features.

Command-line Dorion
Overview

Dorion

Dorion is an alternative Discord client aimed and lower-spec or storage-sensitive PCs that supports themes, plugins, and more!

Table of Contents

Setup

Download a release (.msi for Windows 10/11, .zip for Windows 7, .AppImage for Linux, etc.) and install!

Benefits

  • Portable (mostly)
  • Plugins
  • Themes
    • Including support for BetterDiscord themes!
  • Low - if any - cache footprint (compared to the PTB client)
  • Extremely small installation size (~7mb!) on Windows
    • This is because unlike the Discord client, Dorion does not bundle an entire Chromium engine
  • Often loads slightly faster (vanilla)
  • Switch between Stable, Canary and PTB clients straight from the settings
  • Made by me (automatically makes it cooler)

I know I made the program 'n all, but I actually use this on my laptop as opposed to the official client, so I can vouch ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Limitations

Dorion simply runs the web-based version of Discord within it's own client. This means that things Discord web doesn't support will not work. I am unaware of any significant feature that is missing.

TODO

  • Desktop notifications
  • Rich presence
  • Helper API methods and events for plugins
  • Dorion settings editable within regular client (iFrame probably)
  • Backup localized themes

Using Plugins and Themes

See the examples directory for examples of plugins, including how to include external code, and themes. You can also look at my own plugins/themes repo for some existing ones with actual use.

Plugins and themes are relatively simple to use, the file structure looks like so on Windows:

.
โ””โ”€โ”€ C:/path/to/Dorion
    โ”œโ”€โ”€ Dorion.exe
    โ”œโ”€โ”€ plugins/
    |   โ””โ”€โ”€ plugin_name/
    |       โ””โ”€โ”€ index.js
    โ””โ”€โ”€ themes/
        โ””โ”€โ”€ theme.css

and like so on Linux:

.
โ””โ”€โ”€ ~/dorion
    โ”œโ”€โ”€ plugins/
    |   โ””โ”€โ”€ plugin_name/
    |       โ””โ”€โ”€ index.js
    โ””โ”€โ”€ themes/
        โ””โ”€โ”€ theme.css

so if you download a plugin or theme, just pop it into it's own folder in the plugins/themes folder!

Contributing

Issues, PRs, etc. are all welcome!

  • Support Vencord

    Support Vencord

    I'm currently using this client mod called Vencord on the official client and it comes with a lot of useful plugins and also lets you use themes kind of how Dorion does it (it loads it from a .css file). I think it'd be good if Vencord could somehow be integrated with Dorion so that I can continue to use those plugins.

    If it makes it any easier, the mod also comes as a browser extension and userscript as well: https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/releases/latest/download/extension.zip https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/releases/download/devbuild/Vencord.user.js

  • Windows 7 support?

    Windows 7 support?

    Hi, I'm using Windows 7 SP1 x64 For some reason Dorion does not work, the portable zip just starts and closes quickly (0.3.1), the installer gives an error (0.4.0). Dorion Windows 7 Installer I wonder if the program is supported, or if it can be fixed to run on Windows 7 as well.

    Future: Re-style components to use Discord styling

    The change between using external documents to integrating entirely within Discord was hasty, and I didn't want to rebuild everything to use Discord styles. I should, however, do that, so it will be something done in the future.

    Fix memory leak

    Very slowly will the RAM usage increase. Can't tell if it's my fault or just Discord being Discord, so if its me I should fix it, and if its Discord I should try and see if I can make a scuffed fix.

  • Dorion Settings disappeared

    Dorion Settings disappeared

    When language of Discord is set as non-English languages, Dorion Settings can not be accessed. Example with Traditional Chinese Example with Japanese

    https://github.com/SpikeHD/Dorion/blob/main/src-tauri/injection/injection.js#L89 Seems like aria-label change with the language. For example, it is aria-label="ไฝฟ็”จ่€…่จญๅฎš" with Traditional Chinese. It seems that "Friend Requests", "Nitro", and "HypeSquad" are not localized with languages currently.

  • Ability to drag files to the client to send

    Ability to drag files to the client to send

    Currently, if you try to drag a photo or a file into the client to send it, nothing happens while you're dragging it or after you drop it. In the stock client and the website, you can send files by dragging it into the window, so I think it'd be a good improvement to have this in Dorion as well.

    Add setting to open links in default browser

    Currently, any link or image you try to open in Dorion opens in the Edge Webview, but I'd much prefer for it to open in my default browser like how the regular Discord client does it. I'm not seeing any setting to enable that at the moment, so I think it'd be a nice improvement to add.
