[https://github.com/uwu/shelter shelter] is a client modification for Discord made by [https://uwu.network uwu.network],
designed in a [[Discord SWC Change|post-SWC]] modding scene.


The goal is to make a bulletproof client mod that doesn't break at every single update.

== Features & Concepts ==
Many of the design choices and ideals were carried over from [[Cumcord]],
including running entirely within the web context, use of IndexedDB, and details of the plugin loader implementation.
 
The core idea is that plugins (uniquely) do not make use of Webpack nor Discord bundled code at all, and instead use Flux, React Fibers,
and document modification to work<ref>[https://github.com/uwu/shelter/blob/ecc282a/packages/shelter-docs/docs/guides/ideals.md#placing-bets-on-stability "Ideals" documentation page - Placing bets on stability]</ref>.

== History ==
After the [[Discord SWC Change]] broke all active client mods on the 26th September 2022, [[Cumcord]] was discontinued the day after<ref name=":0" />.
Another day later, [[Toonlink]] announced an unnamed new mod which would become shelter.
Over the next two months, shelter was slowly built (mostly implemented by [[User:Yellowsink|Yellowsink]] based on link's vision), and on the 12th November 2022, shelter was publicly
released<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/824921608560181258/824923929138954241/1041125639576637451 shelter release announcement]</ref>.
On the 18th March 2023, [https://npm.im/@uwu/lune the build tool] was released to simplify and improve the plugin development experience.
The next day, the first version of the API documentation was released.
On the 23rd February 2024, the recreations of Discord's UI components included in shelter were [https://npm.im/@uwu/shelter-ui made available] for use outside the shelter mod.
