Origins

The two main reasons that pushed me to create this project are: portability and client performance. One day I wanted to install Discord on a Raspberry Pi, but I was running Ubuntu with an ARM processor, and Discord doesn't provide a version for computers running Linux and ARM processors. And Discord is an application created with the Electron.js framework, so it uses a lot of resources, which is a shame for an application that you use in parallel with other applications most of the time.
