WebCord

A Discord and Fosscord client implemented directly without Discord API. Made in poland with the Electron framework.

Quick run

Installing it using flathub:

flatpak install io.github.spacingbat3.webcord

Building it from sources

Install the build deps:

flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//23.08 org.freedesktop.Sdk//23.08
flatpak install flathub org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp

Build and install:

flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean build_dir io.github.spacingbat3.webcord.yml

Use global menu

To make WebCord work with the global menu you have to give the flatpak access to com.canonical.AppMenu.Registrar, this can be done with

flatpak override --talk-name=com.canonical.AppMenu.Registrar io.github.spacingbat3.webcord

or using flatseal

Recommendations

Running the app in a native Wayland context:

flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 io.github.spacingbat3.webcord --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,VaapiVideoDecoder,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer,smooth-scrolling,gpu-rasterization,zero-copy --ozone-platform=wayland

This will make use of the Ozone Platform setting, which comes with a Wayland mode by default. Also added in WebRTCPipeWireCapturer to screenshare stuff using Pipewire Web RTC. Just make sure you have the xdg-portals installed properly.
