So I don’t know since when this was a thing, but you can go to https://discord.com/app on a mobile device, and it will work as a PWA just fine.
Ever since Discord was a thing you could use it as a desktop PWA, but not very much on mobile, but this is pretty big news for the privacy community and I’m surprised no one is talking about this.
Since I want to put it in my app drawer, I made a basic wrapper app here for Android with as little permissions as possible (both for the webapp and the actual app, it’s just INTERNET). It will work on Android 12.0 and up. Calling probably won’t work in that app.
(just go to the Releases tab, and download the latest one.)
You’re only able to add it as a shortcut sadly, so when you click on it from your home screen, it just opens up your web browser to the site.
Edit: Ah, should have clarified better, you know how on some sites you can actually install it (not just add to home screen)? Thats what I meant I guess, perhaps that would mean making it open in the webview, just like gmaps wv or gptassist.
Yes, you’re talking about a PWA (a webapp version of it pretty much).
Not sure if Discord has that already, what do you see if you try from a browser that has the PWA functionality working already?
Otherwise, it might at least still be usable without the notifications/etc, better than nothing haha.
Vencord does this exact thing, with the added benfit of trusted vencord plugins and customization:
Vencord includes the NoTrack plugin out of the box (and enabled) upon installation.
I can confirm the PWA is usable, but of course I do hate that it has some missing things like pinned messages which can hamper usage, but otherwise it is usable. May have changed last I used it
