Where is the long FAQ?

• On the Wiki

How do I develop GoofCord?

• See the development guide

Can I get banned from using GoofCord?

• While using GoofCord goes against the Discord ToS, there are no known bans from using it or any client mods.

How can I access the settings? ⚙️

• Multiple ways:
  • Right-click on the tray icon and click Open Settings
  • Click the "Settings" button in the "GoofCord" category in the Discord settings
  • Press Ctrl+Shift+' shortcut.

Why Electron?

• It's the right tool for this job. While Electron may not be the perfect choice for all applications, achieving a user experience on par with the official Discord client inherently requires embedding its web version within a browser/webview. Currently, no other frameworks come close to Electron in providing this capability and covering all of GoofCord's needs.
