Adding Discord Rich Presence #21

Just something to consider.

hmlendea commented 3 years ago

Could you please elaborate a bit more?

Hello ! 👋 I also think it would be a good addition, so I will clarify what it is about.

Rich Presence allows you to display more detailed information on your Discord profile than a simple "playing at". It is possible to add text, images and even buttons to join someone else's game. The GeForce Now for Windows application already takes advantage of this:

It would be nice to add the same to this application, with why not custom images for some games.

I will try to look into this once I get a little bit more free time to tinker with it. However, from what I've investigated so far, I don't know if I will be able to (reliably) set images. Since this app is just a wrapper over the base version, I don't have access to the inner workings of GFN and I can only rely on the window titles (which is the game's name).

But I do agree it would be a really sweet feature to have.
