A long time ago, I started this soft fork of the BetterDiscord Installer, mainly because:
- I wanted to make BetterDiscord easily installable on the Flatpak build of Discord
betterdiscordctl
couldn't do it at the time
Point 2 was actually addressed shortly after I started this fork, but I still felt I was adding value to the community with this, because a graphical installer is undoubtely user-friendlier than a command-line-based one.
However, let's be real for a second: Using Electron to make an app (i.e. this installer) to essentially download a single file into a directory seems really overkill, wouldn't you agree...? 😅
Additionally, the Electron version bundled in this is installer is currently using (13.6.x
) is largely outdated, possibly insecure and has no official support anymore.
Therefore, I'd recommend either switching to betterdiscordctl
, or just waiting for Flatpak support to be added in the official installer. See effort #1, and effort #2 (the most recent one).
At the time of this writing, this tool still works, and will probably still keep working for some time, but I'd recommend adapting to a new and supported tool as soon as possible.
Thank you for using this! <3
