leto

rust wrapper for discord

goals

• Non native discord features
• Video + Screenshare
• RPC (rust implementation)
• Window features
• OS Tray
• Notifications
• Sound
• Global keybinds
• Support for ARM, Linux, and Windows (Only OSX ARM + x86 for now since I don't have a Linux or Windows machine)
• Faster and lighter than Discord + OpenASAR (Currently is)
• VC Support
• Link support
• Multiple input and output devices (only input atm)
• Support for vencord, betterdiscord, equicord, and later asar based releases like betterdiscord and replugged
• Support for custom js
• Reimplement WebSocket in rust to allow access of "insecure content" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSocket

how performance is improved

• rust backend creates lower overhead compared to electron
• no checking for updates unnecessarily
• in my testing the webview is more efficient than electrons, but that is dependent on the hardware and webview implementation

patching

leto uses a mix of js scripts and shelter plugins, just like Dorion

leto vs dorion

• dorion uses tauri, while leto uses tao, wry, global-hotkeys, and muda which are the underlying libraries used by tauri.
• dorion is focused on compatibility and performance, while leto is focused on being a drop-in replacement for discord without auto-updates and without electron.

is this more performant than dorion

• you should see no difference

contributing

• to launch use cargo run. This runs webpack aswell, im sure that windows and linux aren't working since I haven't added their custom implemnentations yet. If you have a windows or linux machine please open a PR and add platform specific code.
• Scripts are hot trash right now, and I plan to move most of them into shelter plugins, similar to Dorion
