Cumcord is a now defunct client mod made by toonlink.
The main concept was that it would act as something of a compatibility layer to allow plugin authors to target all client mods at once. The eventual implementation of this idea took the form of CC being designed to load on top of another existing client mod, instead of standalone.
Features
Cumcord is an entirely web-based client mod, with no reliance on Node. Plugins are fetched over HTTP, and all storage is in IndexedDB.
The mod and plugins using it could communicate with other applications over the Discord Rich Presence websocket, which allowed convenient features such as plugin install buttons on webpages that could trigger an install on your open Discord client.
A build tool, Sperm, assisted in development with Typescript and Sass support.
The webpack finding tools and patcher implementation were both split out from the mod and are still maintained for use in other contexts.
Plugins
Cumcord had an active plugin ecosystem.
As the website is now down, you can use the archived version of the plugin store.
Availability
Cumcord was available on Discord Desktop, BandagedBD, Powercord, GooseMod, Astra, Vizality, Kernel, and as a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox.
