BetterDiscord is a client modification for the Discord desktop app that adds a plugin loader, theme engine, and CSS editor for deep customization. It ships with an installer and a JavaScript plugin API, backed by a large community addon ecosystem.

Use cases

• customize discord with custom css themes
• add plugins to discord for extra features
• write my own discord client mod
• change the look of discord completely
• install community themes and plugins for discord
• extend discord functionality with javascript

When to choose

• you want to heavily customize Discord's appearance with CSS themes
• you want to extend Discord's functionality with community or custom JavaScript plugins
• you want live CSS editing and a flexible addon API on the desktop client

When to avoid

• you only use Discord in the browser or on mobile - it targets the desktop app only
• you must strictly comply with Discord's Terms of Service, as client modification is against them
• you want a zero-maintenance setup, since updates can break mods after Discord changes
