Fake Spotify Discord Rich Presence

A simple Discord Rich Presence client that displays fake Spotify status. This is a toy project for educational purposes.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher recommended)
• Bun (recommended) or npm
• A Discord Application with Rich Presence enabled

Setup

1. Clone the repository

2. Install dependencies:

   bun install
   # or
   npm install

3. Create a Discord Application:

   • Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
   • Create a new application
   • Enable Rich Presence under "Rich Presence"
   • Upload assets (spotify_logo, play_icon) under "Rich Presence > Assets"
   • Copy the Client ID

4. Configure environment variables:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env and add your Discord Client ID

5. Run the script:

   bun run rpc-server.js
   # or
   node rpc-server.js

Code Quality

To lint the code:

bunx oxlint .

To format the code:

bunx prettier --write .

How It Works

The script randomly selects songs from a curated list and displays them as "Now Playing" on Discord. Each song has a random duration between 2-4 minutes, and the status updates automatically when the "song" ends.

Security Notes

✅ This project now uses discord-rpc-revamp, a maintained fork of the abandoned discord-rpc package. While not officially maintained by Discord, it is actively maintained by the community and has zero dependencies.

For production use, you may also consider:

• Discord Social SDK (official but requires OAuth2 and is designed for C++/native games)
