Discord RPC

This devlog mainly talks about Discord RPC and my experience implementing it. I spent about 70% of the time writing out the code for it, but then handed off the testing and dealing with the env secrets for the discord application related stuff to claude. And then, I had to manually add 150+ assets to the developer platform so that whenever you open a file, it also displays an icon of the language you’re editing. Attached is an example.

Smaller Changes

Some other QoL changes include:

• Opening folder instructions on mac now (the command button) now uses icon instead of text
• First file has padding and is therefore pushed down in the sidebar
• Sidebar icons now includes a settings icon that opens (you guessed it), settings, when you click on it
