Vencord has reached EOL
Effective immediately, Vencord's active development is ceasing.
Vencord started as a small hobby project over 4 years ago. It started as aethcord, a "personal client mod" I had made. Mostly unconfigurable, didn't have any kind of third-party plugin support - the entire idea was that I made something for my own use and I didn't care about anyone else's preferences. It was as opinionated as it could be, even came bundled with my own theme. I started showing off the project in a modding server, which is where a few people picked up interest and joined my server to see what it was all about. Some unique (at the time..) features and ideas like the Spotify modal, performant injection, and Ryan Gosling lead to the existence of a small #vencord channel in my server: a small group of no more than 15 people using my client mod.
Fast forward 35.000+ users, 1.300+ stars, 1.800+ commits by 80+ contributors, and thousands of dollars in donations later.. Vencord is no longer the small project it once was. Maintaining a project this large is no easy task, especially considering the nature of client mods: having to adapt and keep up with a constantly moving target. I myself haven't had the time to work on Vencord for years, Cynthia had been leading development on her own for at least 2 years.
