## What it is
BetterDiscord is a client modification for the Discord desktop app that adds plugins, themes, custom CSS, and Twitch/FrankerFaceZ/BetterTTV emotes. This Jiiks repository branch is deprecated, with development moved to JsSucks/BetterDiscordApp.

## Use cases
- add custom themes to discord
- load plugins in discord desktop app
- use twitch emotes in discord
- apply custom css to discord
- customize discord interface
- add emote autocomplete to discord

## When to choose
- you want to extend the legacy Discord desktop client with plugins and themes
- you need Twitch/FrankerFaceZ/BetterTTV emotes in Discord
- you want custom CSS styling for Discord

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained version - use the JsSucks/BetterDiscordApp fork instead
- you are unwilling to modify the Discord client, which may violate Discord's terms of service
- you need a stable, officially supported Discord experience
