Why isn’t discord.com a PWA already? What are they waiting for?

  Have you tried using it on a phone? It’s a horrible experience compared to the app.

    But this thread is discussing desktop software..?

      Yes, if discord.com works great in a desktop browser, then there should be no reason why it couldn’t be an installable PWA.

  There are some tradeoffs on the browser version: - No "currently playing" detection. - No global hotkeys. - Reduced noice canceling and other audio cleanup. Maybe a few others that I can't think of off of the top if my head. But for me personally the browser version is way better. I don't want them snooping on what is running on my system, I have a global mute+unmute hotkey (that I trust and works for all apps) and I already have better processsing on my mic at the system level.

  It’s already a PWA app.

    I checked in Chrome on macOS, and discord.com does not have a web app manifest nor a service worker.
