Discord-Lite

A Light-Weight Discord Client written in Python for developers, by developers. \ More in the wiki

❓ Explanation

You may have possibly heard and used Discord once in your life, right?

It can be very resource-intensive, especially with other programs running in the background.

Hence, why Discord-Lite was made.

It uses less memory and loads GIFs faster compared to the Client and Website version of Discord.\ It also supports sending & recieving Images, Videos, and other files.

⭐ Clarifications

This isn't any over-the-top "client" of such.\ This is simply a Discord Web Instance running in a "Custom Browser" to reduce memory usage and not feast on your RAM.

👀 Inspiration & Sources

This is basically a modified version of the Geeks For Geeks tutorial on "How to Make a Web Browser using PyQt5".\ So, I decided to modify it into a web-based Discord Client since it runs Google instances so well.

👋 Contributions

Any useful contribution are welcome.\ Preference will be given to those who can solve the drawback issues or implement the To-Do List features in their PR.\ Happy Coding, nonetheless! ^^

💢 Drawbacks

There are a few drawbacks to this, including:

• Streaming won't work.
• Videos other than .mov and .webm formats load inconsistently.

📃 To-Do List

Solve JavaScript errors through QT.

...and that's about it.

🛠️ Known issues

Currently, Version 1.1 contains many bugs including multiple unnecessary tabs open upon execution causing your machine to freeze.\ The logo won't load which will be fixed in the next update.\ Supposedly fixed in version 1.2. Open an issue, if this still persists.

💾 Compatibility

Tested for Windows 10/11 with Python 3.9\ Issues on other systems can be openly reported.

📎 Installation

• pip

pip3 install discord_lite

...then in your python file:

import discord_lite

• Windows > For now, Install the .zip from this source.

After that, open Discord-Lite.exe from your desktop.\ You should be able to use Discord just as you can with any other client. :D

Note:

Discord has been banning my account for no apparent reason at all, and fails to provide a reason, due to which the next release will be the final release for the Windows operating system. \ The Linux and MacOS versions will be developed and released too, once that's done the project will not be actively maintained, due to arrogance and ignorance on Discord's part.
