A Discord overlay that just works™

overlayed

overlayed is an electron/react overlay application for Discord that leverages the local RPC protocol via an IPC socket.

With overlayed you can track who is speaking in your voice channel without having to open discord.

overlayed-electron's Issues

Error: Invalid access token

Refreshing tokens is not yet handled and you'll just get the failed to login screen.

The workaround, for now, is to remove your auth file and log in again

Windows %APPDATA%\overlayed\auth.json
Mac ~/Library/Application Support/overlayed/auth.json

Discord client connect

When I click check for discord nothing happens and it doesn't work. I have discord open too.

Auth Not Successful - Mixed HTTP

So the way auth works is https://overlayed.dev/auth will try and POST your access_token to your local client running on http://localhost:61200.

This is problematic as some browsers will disallow mixed content types, so HTTPS origin posting to HTTP is not allowed.

There is currently no plan to fix this just leaving this here as a notice in case you experience this issue.

If you can't authenticate and are added to the app make sure to try a diff browser.

Failed to Connect - Discord Open?!

Keep getting this message when the append discord is open. Tried closing both and reopening.

Request access to overlayed - Comment your discord user/discriminator

After going through the Discord authorization, the app does not load me in I just stay on the Authorize screen. There also are not any logs coming through on the debugging panel :(

Login request asks for Discord credentials in a window it owns

This is very sketch looking and probably not what you intend to do. I'm familiar enough to know that you can manipulate a window pointed to another site within Electron. While I doubt you mean to, this kinda tripped every single red flag possible in my head since it would be a marginal amount of effort to scrape credentials or auth tokens.

It's the same reason I don't like how you can embed Stripe into your own page in a way that blurs what is what, making it really look like you are asking customers to punch in CC details into your random site rather than a trusted payment processor (or at least a more well known place that has more skin in the game to act right).

Might I really suggest changing that so you open up the user's preferred browser rather than opening up a window you control.

Is it possible to run this locally?

Hey @Hacksore , I stumbled across this project of yours while looking to integrate with Discord.

Is it possible to run this locally or (by looking at the auth flow) does this require approval which only you have on your hosted server? Any way to use this on my own account manually without approval?

Bugged overlay after leaving vc

After leaving vc it stays for some reasons.

It never happened with List styling option. It might be related to Grid, but I have no idea.
