shelter is a client modification for Discord made by uwu.network, designed in a post-SWC modding scene.
The goal is to make a bulletproof client mod that doesn't break due to Discord updates[1].
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[2].
Plugins
You can search shelter-plugins on GitHub to find available plugin repositories.
As of now, not many plugins exist.
Availability
Shelter is available on Discord Desktop, Web, scor, and ArmCord.
History
After the Discord SWC Change broke all active client mods on the 26th September 2022, Cumcord was discontinued the day after[1].
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 Yellowsink based on link's vision), and on the 12th November 2022, shelter was publicly released[3].
On the 18th March 2023, 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 made available for use outside the shelter mod.
