I'm trying to get discord rich presence setup and working but I'm running into the issue of it not being able to connect apparently. The documents page practically has nothing to really read unfortunately, same with the NPMJS page and its github :/

 var rpc = require("discord-rpc");
 var vaas_rpc = new rpc.Client({transport:"ipc"});
 var clientId = "BOT CLIENT ID HERE";
 
 vaas_rpc.on("ready",function(){
     vaas_rpc.setActivity({
         details: "Place Holder Details",
         state: "Currently Beta Mode",
         largeImageKey: 'Place Holder Image set in discord dev page',
         largeImageText: 'Place Holder Text',
         startTimestamp: new Date()
     }).catch((reason) => console.error(reason));
 });
 vaas_rpc.login(clientId).catch((reason) => console.error(reason));```

@smoky scroll

  1. You may pass an object in login method
  2. Apparently adding your clientToken helps
    vaas_rpc.login({clientId, clientToken})

Still unable to connect for me

Is there any way to make it like the Discord GameSDK where it doesn't show rich presence but it shows you are playing a game (with the icon)

Like this

does setting rich presence's activity require any auth when using websocket transport ?

@smoky scroll changing it every 3s might be considered API Abuse

Is it possible to change your rpc while using a bot?

Example: You'll click on 🦈 and then your rpc is "fishing some sharks" then you'll click on 📖 an then you rpc is "Working for math" or sonething like that

rpc is for games, so you could develop a "game" that does that for you

I am looking for executable program write by node js to change discord rich presence

If it not exist I my try to write once

Not package one

The program

hidden linden

what program?

foggy dagger

Program to change rich presence

But In JS

hidden linden

u can just make it but there is probably

i used one

That reason why I looking for it

If it is maybe we can maintain it

is it possible to use an Input() type thing for rich presence?

hidden linden

@lusty depot?

smoky scroll

@smoky scroll false, if you set the type In the gateway

Via websocket

Uh what

You said you can’t set listening, or whatever, In the rich presence type when connected to the gateway you can change it

Cool but, I think not native with this libary 🤔

Yea I know, it’s a manual thing

Hey, i do'nt know why i got "empty item" when it's actually a real number

even if i replace tempviews[8] with "p" i have the same result

Well it worked with i+=1 instead of i++

true dove

Does djs-rpc come in a webpack?

distant bane

i dont think so

it wouldnt be possible, probably

mainly because it uses ipc to connect with discord through your pc's internals

at least thats how i think it works, right?

true dove

But normal presence is possible with webpack?

distant bane

yes

true dove

It works differently I take it?

distant bane

yeah

looks like a web pack config to me

delicate pollen

Is there a way to set the input of your RP when you login in? (Example: Input() )

what is accessToken supposed to be? this is in RPCClient.login(), client.js:134

How to fix this

define RPC

unborn stream

is it possible to do something like RPCClient.application.setName()or otherwise change the application name?

old fable

No

RPCClient#application is a readonly

foggy dagger

@subtle comet how to define it

Cause const RPC = require('discord-rpc') not working

unborn stream

use node.js

foggy dagger

@unborn stream What do you mean

I am using node Js

Electron to build application

unborn stream

okay whats the error

foggy dagger

As the screen shoot

unborn stream

if you do const RPC = require('discord-rpc') then RPC is something else than undefined

foggy dagger

it not working so I remove

It error when using const RPC = require('discord-rpc')

unborn stream

it says electron not found...

foggy dagger

Electron run normal

If not using dícord-rpc

shrewd gyro

so far it looks like you're trying to call rpc from the ui process of electron not the node process

unborn stream

^enable node integration in main process or do rpc stuff in main process

foggy dagger

I am call in it in main process of electron

Of course I know discord.js should run from B.E

Not F.E BTW

do you see any discord rich presence modules for javascript on npm?

42 verbose stack Error: Refusing to install discord-rpc as a dependency of itself

lethal whale

TL;DR: looks like you tried to name your project discord-rpc, and you can't install a module of the same name in it.

left fjord

why

they didn't bother to even paste that line to google, why give answer like that

nimble crane

isnt the rpc deprecated in favor of discord gamesdk

The SDK that this documentation references, Discord-RPC, has been deprecated in favor of our new Discord GameSDK. Replacement functionality for the Rich Presence SDK can be found in the Activity Manager of that SDK. This documentation can be referenced for education but does not entirely reflect the new SDK.

left fjord

RPC SDK !== RPC

nimble crane

oh heck im baby

waxen gazelle

Theres a program that uses discord-rpc and a lot of people are getting unexpected token errors where it says ... (the code has that in multiple places), what causes that? It's in the discord-rpc module and it wasnt happening before

past anvil

@arctic eagle

const discordRPC = require("discord-rpc");
const clientId = "blah";
const clientSecret = "blah"
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];

discordRPC.register(clientId);

const client = new discordRPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });

client.on('ready', () => {
    //setActivity();
    console.log("hello");
    console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
    console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);
});

client.login({ clientId, clientSecret, scopes }).catch(console.error);

if i replace 'websocket' with 'ipc' it works fine

arctic eagle

Don't include your client secret. It is of no use in websocket connections. Also, including it disallows use of the messages.read scope. Sources: https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/rpc#authorize and https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/rpc#connecting

Only plausible use of client_secret in RPC:

"We also have an RPC token system to bypass the user authorization modal. This is usable by approved games as well as by users on a game's whitelist, and also disallows use of the messages.read scope. If you have been granted access, you can send a POST request to https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/token/rpc with your application's client_id and client_secret..."```
Notice how the websocket url doesn't include a secret:

"For WebSocket connections, the connection is always ws://127.0.0.1:PORT/?v=VERSION&client_id=CLIENT_ID&encoding=ENCODING"```

I think this may fix your problem @past anvil.

I'm not sure how much of that applies to what the discord.js-rpc lib actually does, though.

past anvil

ah ok

thanks! i'll give it a go and get back to you

i used 'message.read' because on the npm page it had some sample code with it in the scopes:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord-rpc

const clientId = '187406016902594560';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];
 
const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });
 
client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
  console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);
 
  client.selectVoiceChannel('81384788862181376');
});
 
// Log in to RPC with client id
client.login({ clientId, scopes });

@arctic eagle

still happening

arctic eagle

What did you change?

I'd say it's a websocket error, but I don't really know. Have you tried restarting Discord?

past anvil

this is the code now:

const discordRPC = require("discord-rpc");
const clientId = "blah";
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api'];

discordRPC.register(clientId);

const client = new discordRPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });

client.on('ready', () => {
    //setActivity();
    console.log("hello");
    console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
    console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);
});

client.login({ clientId, scopes }).catch(console.error);

removed the client secret and the message.read scope

young basin

is the clientId "blah" or is it there just so we dont gotta se your clientId

past anvil

its so you dont see my clientId

i use my actual Id when i run the code

yeah i have 0 idea what is happening

it works fine with ipc

websocket requires whitelisting

you have to use ipc

i read that in the docs somewhere but i assumed it applied to something else

that makes sense thanks!

i'll stick to ipc for now lol

you need a .catch() on client.login

but it still wont fix the issue, if you try it you will get only a message that says 'undefined'

so i would change scopes to ipc?

@small mortar you have to login with the clientId

you also don't need to login with your clientSecret for what you're doing

also for the .catch() you can just use .catch(console.error)

doesn't joinRequest need to work first for that to work tho?

past anvil

i dont see any documentation on joinRequest

fathom lion

It's discord's documentation, isn't it?

you press "Ask to Join" in discord and the game then needs to accept the request or deny it

past anvil

on discord's documentation or discord.js's documentation?

fathom lion

discord's?

ACTIVITY_JOIN_REQUEST which rpc subscribes to which discord-rich-presence wraps as joinRequest

has anyone ever tried it?

I'm tempted to just ping devsnek...

but at the same time, discord is trying to deprecate rpc

tbh i've never seen that before

yeah, maybe somebody else can help me then

it might be whitelisted

but i dont know

@tender cosmos here

fathom lion

Is there any plans to get gamesdk working in node?

The lobby information was changed and rpc can't do full rich presence anymore

left fjord

what do you mean by "full rich presence"

fathom lion

"Ask to Join" functionality, chat invites to your lobby. People forget it exists but that's what I wanted to do

left fjord

isn't that hidden behind beta for rpc?

fathom lion

It's not even a thing anymore as I know. As lobby information has changed in the new gamesdk

rpc is deprecated

left fjord

RPC is not

RPC SDK is

fathom lion

🤔

left fjord

those are 2 separate things

RPC is more like a protocol to do things in discord from outside of it

fathom lion

I get it is. Gamesdk had to communicate with discord somehow

left fjord

yeah, via rpc most likely

events for RPC

commands

fathom lion

I thought while your app wasn't whitelisted you could still test it yourself

You can scroll up, but i didn't get the rpc to send joinRequest events to my app

(I'm too drunk to think clearly right now tho so I'm not even sure what I want to do instead. But I still want to get full rich presence to work in node)

left fjord
fathom lion

Yeah, and one of these doesn't have support for lobbies. And form what I was told in the gamesdk server it's because lobby information was changed

If you can also change it for the old rpc idk

left fjord

i almost literally pasted code from rich presence visualizer into discord-rich-presence

fathom lion

And does the button really work? I also got it to display but clicking it didn't trigger anything

left fjord

not like i can't click it or something

fathom lion

Yeah, you need another pc and another account. (and I think you also need to invite that other account to your app's whitelist but I'm not sure about that)

left fjord

sadly, can't test rn, need to catch some sleep

fathom lion

Sure, if you are going to tho please tell me the results. If I could get a node only solution it would be great

carmine mica

@fathom lion all the activity events should be working

last i tested they were working

i don't know about lobbies though, i've never had a reason to use them so i don't test them

but they should work in theory

and rich presence is definitely working still

so many people use it

i'd get so many issues on the repo if it stopped working

fathom lion

Yeah, I had no problems with anything else rich presence related, but when I got another account to click my "Ask to Join" button nothing happened on my side.

cedar lynx

@past anvil

past anvil

like mine?

cedar lynx

Ya

past anvil

i'd start here

and just start experimenting

cedar lynx

How I can set that RPC in my account ?

Any hint ?

past anvil

yeah you run it on your computer

it starts a local server that connects to any discord accounts that are logged in

i would change the ID to your own discord application

cedar lynx

Ok

Any way to use that with mobile ?

past anvil

start it on your computer and it should show on all your clients

cedar lynx

What is state and details ?

Last doubt

past anvil

on my one state is 'being lit' and details is 'They're all so cute!'

cedar lynx

Ok

Thank you

@fathom lion ask to join also requires registering your game with discord locally

this usually happens automatically if its installed through the game store

if not, you have to use DiscordRPC.register()

fathom lion

So wait, there's no way to test it before applying for whitelist?

carmine mica

you can use DiscordPRC.register

but that requires running the game at least once

fathom lion

running the game at least once
meaning anyone could use it after running it once?

carmine mica

running the game once on each machine

ask to join requires that discord know how to launch the game

assuming your ask is granted

fathom lion

yeah, but what if the games are already running

carmine mica

🤷🏻

fathom lion

Ask to Join didn't work for me even when the games where already running

carmine mica

i haven't experimented too much with edge cases

my game is also installed through the discord store so

🤷🏻

fathom lion

discord doesn't have a store anymore tho

carmine mica

store channels

setting up the websocket server and such

fathom lion

discord-rich-presence npm doesn't call register on its own? and there really isn't any way to access the rpc from there

carmine mica

hmmm

you could pr a thing

register method

fathom lion

if you edit a local node module, does it get used when you run npm start ?

carmine mica

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fathom lion

i don't even need to, I can just require rpc and just call the register method, it's exported by rpc package

fathom lion

hmmmm... I'm running the same .exe on both PCs

carmine mica

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fathom lion

I think I got gamesdk working in node with edge.js

fathom lion

There's one thing that got me thinking. Does the party id need to be filled in to use Ask to Join and chat invites? Because the button appears when you have join secret filled in, but it might no work without party id

Because that is one thing for sure that I changed when I implemented gameSDK instead.

@half zephyr It won't work, Discord will disconnect almost immediately if you connect with a browser, trust me i tried. You will need to have an application running in the background

What do you want to create a Rich Presence for btw?

Where when you switch songs it updates the image to the thumbnail of the song cover image

Is it possible to do that?

Right now I just have to use a pre-uploaded key for the Youtube Music icon

left fjord

mind that spotify is not really regular rpc in that context.

for example

and while you can indeed replace spotify: with https://i.scdn.co/image/ and get full image link, it means that it doesn't use discord's assets, but external ones

mild ridge

so you can't really achieve this?

because as far as I'm aware you can't use external assets like spotify does

left fjord

if you can't pass url as image, not really, no

how do you set image from your assets

you pass local file?

mild ridge

yeah

it saves the current song thumbnail as a file in my local directory

so i just point it to that

can you pass a url to the largeImage field?

have you tried putting url instead?

How can I add RPC to my bot? I copied the example code, but it doesn't work -- the RPC just doesn't show up. Here's my code:

'use strict';

const Discord = require('discord.js');

const DiscordRPC = require('discord-rpc');

const client = new Discord.Client();

client.login(token);

client.on('ready', () => {
  const clientId = client.user.id;
  DiscordRPC.register(clientId);

  const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });
  const startTimestamp = new Date();

  rpc.login({ clientId, clientSecret: token })
    .then(() => console.log('logged in!'))
    .catch(console.error);

  async function setActivity() {
    if (!rpc) return;
    rpc.setActivity({
      details: 'booped 1 times',
      state: 'in slither party',
      startTimestamp,
      instance: false
    });
  }
  rpc.on('ready', () => {
    setActivity();

    setInterval(() => {
      setActivity();
    }, 15e3);

What is rpc

warm radish

read the channel topic?

spark jacinth

It says rich presence in only one of the link afaik. But what does that do? Setting rich presence?

warm radish

this is a rich presence

for users, not bots

spark jacinth

Yea ik, that's why I used whether it is used to set the rich presence

unborn stream

i thought you asked how to set rich presence

frosty forge

I'm trying to understand how this module works. As far as I'm aware, Discord.js is meant to build a Discord bot, but this module is meant to let users set their Rich Presence for games/applications that don't have it built in already? Does this use the local Discord client, or is it technically a self-botting function?

do you even have to have the local desktop client for Discord open for this to post your game status?

unborn stream

yes this module is used to set rich presence

uses local client, no self botting, discord allows usage of rich presence

yes you need to have discord open

@frosty forge

frosty forge

thanks. Is there perhaps a guide to getting started with it? Is it possible for this module to manage multiple games, or do I need a separate script for each game I want to manage?

unborn stream

you can check channel description for examples and help

separate script (and discord application) for each game

frosty forge

I don't mean at the same time, but rather, if I was playing one game and quit and start another game, do I need to terminate the script and start a new one for the new game?

unborn stream

yes

but in a production environment each game would have their own script embedded into the source code which would be automatically terminated upon closing the game

frosty forge

yeah.... I don't have control of the source code of the game... It's mainly for things like commercial games that don't have a Rich Presence yet, but where an external program might be able to extract enough information to fabricate one and post it instead.

unborn stream

i see

frosty forge

it would be for personal use only, so I'm not worried about it being distributable.

unborn stream

in that case you would need to terminate the running script

frosty forge

would it be possible to do client.destroy() and then login with a new clientID?

unborn stream

yes

frosty forge

I'd like to see if I can make a passive Node.js script that runs at boot and list listens for the games I've decided to support and will automatically create the appropriate Rich Presence to match it.

unborn stream

sounds good

frosty forge

I wonder if it might be possible to call new RPC.Client() on different variables to establish parallel clients, instead of destroying and creating over and over?

const client2 = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });```
unborn stream

totally possible

frosty forge

that might be useful since I have a multi-monitor setup and might actually end up having multiple games open at once.

unborn stream

discord can only display 1 rich presence at a time

frosty forge

yes, and I think it shows whichever is the most recently updated. I'm just anticipating what might happen if I try to open two games at once. I don't want the script to break because it doesn't know how to handle two games. If Discord can only show one at a time, that's fine, but I want to make sure my script doesn't go crazy if I decide to multitask...

unborn stream

ok

frosty forge

does this support other modes like "watching" or "listening to", or is it only "playing"? Might be fun to have it hook into Netflix or my music player or something.

unborn stream

only playing

frosty forge

is that a limitation of the module, or the API itself doesn't support it yet? I'm curious how apps like Spotify can display music.

unborn stream

api limitation

frosty forge

I guess Discord gave Spotify special treatment with a closed API or something.

unborn stream

yes

frosty forge

I'm guessing it's the same thing with the Game Launcher on Samsung devices. Currently the only way I'm aware of to show what you're playing on mobile.

unborn stream

im not familiar with that

frosty forge

if you look at my presence right now, you'll see it

unborn stream

i cant see it, i’ll now go to sleep

what is the instance arg?

night marten

@karmic wagon

An instance of a class is a description of a specific object in memory. The class describes the properties and methods that will be available for the object, built according to the description embedded in the class. ... That is, they say: (in a virtual environment) create an instance of a class or, in other words, instantiate a class.

chilly elm

Is it possible to run RPC remotely without a real discord instance open?

left fjord

not really, mainly because your discord client runs RPC server your game or app connects to.

chilly elm

Is there any sort of stand alone RPC server?

left fjord

why would it be a thing

discord has rpc because it uses the data to display it on your profile

it's like running a ftp server that has no files, accounts and internet access

karmic wagon

How exactly does the RPC connect to discord?

left fjord

usually would be localhost:6463, either websocket if from browser-like "place", or via ipc

graceful river

I'm using ffmpeg to detect black frames and sequences

but i get random frames each run

unborn stream

is this rpc related?

left fjord

no, it's not. it's not even js

full bison

Right so i've got a DRPC script set up that would switch the RPC every hour. Buut instead of doing that it continues to run the DRPC from the hour that it was ran on. Is there any way to self restart the script once it turns the next hour?

Something like this in batch
:beginning: //code here goto beginning

left fjord

you could simply put code into a function and call the function periodically

full bison

I could give you a copy of the code if you'd like because i think that's what i currently have done

warped flint

send a pic @full bison

damn that was 2 days ago lol

full bison

ill do soon

warped flint

ey who wrote djs-rpc

can i send them a fixed version of their broken example lmao

i was looking into it for a smoll project im doing and decided to try out the example

it was broken so i fixed it

full bison

@warped flint

sorry about the delay

warped flint

so you want your rpc to set like that

?

every hour a different thing

full bison

yeah

i was thinking it would look cool

warped flint

first of all what does date.getHours() return?

and second

arguably more important

full bison

the current hour

no seconds included

don't really need them tbh

warped flint

here look

full bison

where

warped flint 
const DiscordRPC = require('discord-rpc');
DiscordRPC.register(clientId);
const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });
rpc.setActivity({});
setActivity();


rpc.login({clientId}).catch(console.error);

try doing it like this

also isn't it always going to be the same hour? @full bison

full bison

well it does not update it with the correct hour no. But idk if it gives back the new hour

i could make a function that runs every minute and see what happens

warped flint

okay

full bison

But i first gotta wait for a hour change

warped flint

so first of all connect to discord-rpc properly

paste my code into there

const DiscordRPC = require('discord-rpc');
DiscordRPC.register(clientId);
const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

this specifically

full bison

right and where it says clientId i should put exactly that?

warped flint

yes

the thing that you get on the front page of your discord app

full bison

Yeah

hmm

warped flint

whoop

wait

okay found the docs

so

just go like

full bison

it should be client. right?

warped flint

that doesn't matter


rpc.on('ready', () => {
  setActivity();
});

just add that to the bottom of the function

wait

@full bison are you reading the djs-rpc docs or the discord gameSDK docs?

full bison

I think the djs-rpc docs

warped flint

also your interval is 60 seconds

full bison

yeah ik that

It still does this btw even with the thing at the end of the function

warped flint

hold on im trying it for myself

@full bison what are you running this on?

past anvil

drowsy pendant

99.9% that you can't.
Spotify 's rpc does not work in same ways you could do with regular rpc api

carmine mica

warped flint

carmine mica

it already works

warped flint

oh just a quick question, do you recommend npm or yarn

full bison

This might be random but anyone know why i'm getting this error when running my DRPC script on my rabperrypi?
pi@raspberrypi:~/Discord-Bots/DRPC $ node DRPC.js 21 Error: Could not connect at Socket.onerror (/home/pi/Discord-Bots/DRPC/node_modules/discord-rpc/src/transports/ipc.js:32:16) at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:315:30) at emitOne (events.js:116:13) at Socket.emit (events.js:211:7) at emitErrorNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:64:8) at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:138:11) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:180:9) ^C

It runs fine on my pc

drowsy pendant

cuz

discord is not opened

open discord and start app

full bison

oh

drowsy pendant

if u try to make Discord Bot Presence with DJS-RPC

bot don't have rich presence

u can't

full bison

Right

So i'd have to run discord on my rasbperry pi. Does that have to be the app version?

drowsy pendant

uhm yes

full bison

frick

rocky nacelle

Using discord-rpc i always get
Error: OAuth2 Error: invalid_request: Missing "redirect_uri" in request. and get asked to authorize the app

const RPC = require("discord-rpc")
const clientId = '514513911712238095';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];
 
const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: "ipc" });
 
client.on("connected", () => {
    console.log("Connected!")
})

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
  console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);
 
});

client.login({ clientId, scopes });```

i changed websocket to ipc as when it is on websocket it just throws an "undefined" error

unborn stream

put client secret somewhere into client.login()

rocky nacelle

@unborn stream what should i define it as?

unborn stream

enter it as a parameter or as a value of a parameter into the client’s login method

warped flint

client.login({ clientId: [yourClientId] })

oh lol thought this was today or something

left fjord

that's also not exactly correct

smoky scroll

how can i use messages..read scope

how do i access it in the discord=rpc

rocky nacelle

Error: Not authenticated or invalid scope i keep getting this even before authorizing on the client

oh saw the search history

time to dip my fingers into the lib

sick it works

basically what i did is set my redirectUri to 127.0.0.1 and set a timeout so the client has time to authenticate and then perform the requested action

i might make a pr to emit the ready event after authentication succeeded

rocky nacelle

Message event is broken but discord sends it

fixie time

what is rpc?

uncut pawn

rich presence

in the example for rpc, i dont understand the ID. can anyone explain?

is this the ID of the user?

midnight granite

how would i even approach integrating rpc as a mod for a game

i have a lua engine to work with in this case

like what are the rpc fundamentals

how does the application interact with discord

is there an rpc server running on the discord client i have to connect to?

left fjord

yes

midnight granite

whats the point of the sdk then

lol

left fjord

to have reaady to use library that you plug directly to your app and instantly can use it?

just like discord.js makes you totally not care about making direct requests to discord's api

median sonnet

using rpc can i set rich presence?

midnight granite

thats all it does

median sonnet

Oh

unborn stream

what else did you expect rpc to be used for

median sonnet

i did not know what it was

unborn stream

you got told it was rich presence...

frosty rampart

what is rich presence

everyones sleeping :/

Rich Presence allows you to leverage the totally overhauled "Now Playing" section in a Discord user's profile to help people play your game together. Rich game data—including duration, score, current boss or map, and so much more—lives inside Discord. You can spectate a friend's game directly from their profile popout, or party up via beautiful chat embeds with real-time information about open party slots and the party's in-game status. No more exchanging usernames and friend codes, or wondering if there's room for you to join. Rich Presence is a living invitation to play together, or to watch your friends kick butt.

Taken from https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/rich-presence/how-to#so-what-is-it

I always thought it was remote procedure call

left fjord

overall - yes
in terms of discord - it is your definition used to display more data on your profile from apps that support it

whole "definition" above from 12d ago even though it's chunky doesn't explain much. simple screenshot of spotify or vscode presence would do as well

mossy wren

It doesn’t but I thought I’d use the official "definition"
