Presumably @Seme4eg is talking about this 3rd party discord client https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord

Oh goodness I typed up a whole response this morning but never hit submit 🤦

So I tagged this with information needed because I read a little bit up on what Webcord is doing, and if I am understanding correctly, it sets up a web view that then navigates to Discord's web client. It then overrides several css and js things.
The thing is, the way Rich Presence works on Desktop is that the Discord client for desktop will open up an Inter Process Communication channel, such as a named pipe on Windows.
The web client does not (cannot) do this.
The only option would be then for Webcord to do so itself.

However, for it to do this, it would need to relay local rich presence status to Discord's servers itself. This sounds like it goes against the project's stated goals to NOT call Discord API. So I'm assuming there is no way to do this via Webcord.

The only other alternative is for elcord to speak directly with Discord's rich presence web API, which is far out of scope for elcord because then we run into TOS issues, as well as it being a pain to implement

So I'm leaving this issue open for the time being in case my information and assumptions are incorrect. I welcome being wrong somewhere!
