+Jiiks started a rewrite under the v2 branch on November 6, 2016, which became dormant on May 17. 2017. On January 10, 2018, another rewrite was started as a fork under the JsSucks organization<ref>{{cite web|title=First commit to JsSucks/BetterDiscordApp|url=https://github.com/JsSucks/BetterDiscordApp/commit/ea8ac32a1c7debacf57dc175d4caca770bc01a78}}</ref>, referred to as BetterDiscordv2.

-== History ==
-BetterDiscord was created by [[Jiiks]] in August 2015.
-October 2018, [[Zerebos]] forked it as "BandagedBD". [why?]
+BandagedBD would begin a rewrite on March 20, 2020<ref>{{cite web|title=First BandagedBD rewrite commit|url=https://github.com/BetterDiscord/BetterDiscord/commit/aa7a1a0966692a319d9a6e0a8a9612bf3a33c0d6}}</ref>, which has become the current code base since. BandagedBD would acquire the BetterDiscord name on July 26, 2020<ref>{{cite web|title="Changes BandagedBD to BetterDiscord"|url=https://github.com/BetterDiscord/BetterDiscord/commit/0f45dc6e22028bbb4ea1dc456d86a455e47d9dc7}}</ref>.
-Eventually, Jiiks discontinued his version, and BanagedBD became the official BetterDiscord. It was subsequently renamed back to BetterDiscord.
+The original BetterDiscordApp repository was finally archived on August 2, 2022.
