Micro: request: Discord Rich Presence

[CodeMyst]

It would be pretty nice if the editor had discord rich presence. I looked a bit into making a plugin for it but its outside my scope definitely (Discord doesn't have an SDK for Lua but only for C, C++, C#, and from what I saw it's possible to call C functions from Lua or Go).

Note that only the deprecated discordrpc library is open source. Last time I checked, it should still work.

The new Discord GameSDK is unfortunately under a proprietary license :slightly_frowning_face:

Yeah... that's unfortunate...

I tried calling the SDK from Lua but stumbled upon an error ("DiscordCreate is undefined") and honestly didn't feel like going forward with it.

What is a Discord Rich Presence? After a quick search it seems like something to allow people who are playing games to notify their friends of their status? I don't see how this is relevant to micro.

I think he wants to use this for Micro instead of a game

Well I guess this is more of a gimmick than a proper feature. I've seen other editors having it, like vscode (the editor I'm coming from) and vim in form of plugins.

Here's a screenshots of vscode's plugin:

But it's totally fine if you don't think this feature is needed in micro, but maybe leave this open if anyone in the future wants to attempt making a plugin for it.
