ReplitRPC

What is it?

ReplitRPC is the easy way to share the current project you're working on to your friends on Discord!

Installation

1. Download and install the Desktop app from releases, or build it yourself
2. Download and install the extension from the web store, or build it yourself

Browser	Extension
Firefox	ReplitRPC build it yourself*1
Chrome	Pending approval build it yourself*2

*¹ firefox stopped extensions on the store from interfacing with unsecure webpages (meaning the ext doesn't connect)

*² i've not picked up any development on this for a while, i really don't wanna go through the whole extension publishing process for chrome

4. Run the Desktop app
5. Open a repl in your browser!

And that's it! You should see your rich presence update within 40 seconds (as long as you have a repl open with the extension installed).

Building

Requirements:

• yarn
• node
• git (duh)

1. Clone the repo to wherever

git clone https://github.com/connordennison/ReplitRPC.git

2. cd into folder

cd ReplitRPC

3. cd into electron folder and install dependencies

cd electron
yarn install --dev

4. cd out of the electron folder

cd ..

4. Run the build command for the platform you want to build for

Target	Command
Chrome	yarn chrome
Firefox	yarn firefox
Current platform	yarn make

You should see new files generated in electron/out - if you don't then I have lied to you in this readme 🙈

FAQ ^{(nobody has actually asked any of these)}

How does it work?

ReplitRPC has a desktop app that interfaces with Discord and the extension, and a browser extension to get information from Replit (through the redux store) to send to the desktop app.

Is this against Discord's TOS?

No. This is literally just a rich presence. Read more about Discord Rich Presence here.

Can I hide the name of the repl I'm working on?

Yes! Right click the tray icon and enable Privacy mode. Your Replit username and current working repl will be hidden.
