goofcord's Issues

[REQUEST] Add GoofCord to winget and scoop

Description

This feature request proposes adding GoofCord to the package managers winget and scoop.

Use Case

Including GoofCord in winget and scoop would benefit users in several ways:

• Simplified Installation: Through winget and scoop, users would enjoy a streamlined installation process for GoofCord. These package managers handle dependencies and ensure compatibility, making installation smoother than manual compilation or downloading from unknown sources.
• Accessibility: Having GoofCord in these repositories would increase its accessibility for Windows users, especially those unfamiliar with manual installation methods. Users could easily discover and install GoofCord through familiar package management tools.
• Security: Package managers like winget and scoop often implement security measures to verify package integrity. This can help mitigate risks associated with downloading from untrusted sources.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None. Users who seek to only use package managers on windows won't be able to install GoofCord.

Additional context

By adding GoofCord to these repositories, winget and scoop can expand their offerings to cater to users who prioritize privacy-focused alternatives to mainstream applications.

Build GoodCord on macOS

GoofCord/src/content/css/titlebar.css

Line 239 in 918c75d

/* GoofCord on MacOS (Why would you do this?) */

Since it's been supported in the recent release of ArmCord (see ArmCord/ArmCord@bcb54b4) I would think it might be easy to build Goof as well?

I hope so!

[REQUEST] Option or ability to keep its last window size adjustment

Description

App appears to be defaulted in the maximized window setting at every start-up - and each start-up I constantly have to adjust the window to a certain size of my preference. Was wondering if Goofcord can get the option (or default) to keep the last resize adjustment in every session.

Use Case

It being able to keep the last resize adjustment to a user's preference would save time.

[REQUEST] Add native keybind support

Description

Currently the client thinks it's ran in a browser and doesn't allow the use of keybinds.

Use Case

I use keybinds on the daily for muting/unmuting myself while in-game and it's the sole thing that prevents my switch from discord.

[BUG] GoofCord immediately closing on Linux

Because of an Electron bug in the versions >30.x.x, which is what 1.4.0 uses, Linux installs may crash on startup. I will release a new version with a fix as soon as Electron fixes the bug. I don't consider downgrading to Electron 29 because Windows installs are not impacted, screensharing with audio depends on the newer version and the fix hopefully shouldn't take that long.

Workarounds

1. install electron29 and run GoofCord with electron29 <path to the GoofCord's asar file>. You can download the .asar from the releases page
2. In the config file which is located in ~/.config/goofcord/storage/settings.json change the value of "customTitlebar" to the opposite one. This only seems to work until a restart

[BUG] Screen Sharing window is appearing out of bounds of the monitor screen

Description

I am trying to use screen sharing and when I click on the screen share icon and select the application from the portal window, the screen sharing window which allows me to select resolution is appearing on the bottom right corner of the monitor and it is out of bounds of the monitor.

[REQUEST] Benchmarks

Description

Would be cool to see how it compares against other clients. Some benchmarks might include:

• time to start
• time to switch/load a server/channel
• time to connect to voice chat
• memory usage
• CPU usage
• time to close

Use Case

This would help recommend GoofCord to others.

[BUG] Not logging in.

Description

[Provide a brief description of the bug you encountered]
GoofCord is not logging me in.

Steps to Reproduce

I run the installed app and it opens the discord login screen. I enter my email and password, and click login. it shows the 3-dot loading symbol, then goes back to 'Log In', doing nothing. When I scan the QR code using the mobile app, it shows my discord user info on GoofCord: 'Logging in as User...'. On the android app, I select log in as desctop. On GoofCord, my user icon changes to a three-dot loading symbol, before reverting back to the default QR code, not logging me in. On my android, discord shows 'You're in!'.

Expected Behavior

[Provide a clear and concise description of what you expected to happen]
I expected to be logged in to discord (goofcord), either with email/password, or with qr code scanning.

[BUG] Missing ibus input capability in the Flatpak distribution

Description

While using an ibus input method such as an IME - in my case, Anthy for typing Japanese characters - the actual character transformation functionality is completely non-functional under the Flatpak distribution.

Steps to Reproduce

Simply adding an IME Input Source in GNOME Settings' 'Keyboard' section should reproduce this issue - they're the ones featuring the little cog icon. While I'm using Anthy due to personal preference(though it is also the one that's shipped with upstream Fedora), Mozc is generally more popular - and also has an ibus package available. Change the Input Source through the panel menu, or press Super + Space.

Expected Behavior

While using an Anthy, the Latin characters you'll be typing are the transliterated equivalent of the actual characters/words you are trying to write(for example, you may type 'ko' for the Japanese character 'こ'). You might attempt to convert further this current underlined portion by pressing Space, which will open up a list of conversion options - something like a smartphone keyboard's word suggestions. You can always press Enter to move on to the next word, and Ctrl + Space to toggle between direct Latin character input and IME behavior.

Actual Behavior

The program completely ignores ibus input - meaning only direct Latin input works, regardless of input source.

Environment

• Operating System: Bazzite (GNOME 46.2 - OCI image based on Fedora Silverblue)
• Version: 1.4.3 (Flatpak)

Additional Information

I've observed the same behavior under every Electron-based Discord client I've tried, including Armcord, so it is likely an issue with an incompatibility and/or misconfiguration of Flatpak sandboxing.

[BUG] Screenshare not working, it just disappears

Description

The screenshare feature is not working. it just disappears once you start, and nothing happens.

Environment

• Operating System: Windows
• Version: 11

After installing using the aur and running, it returns (from terminal) No performance modes set

Sorry if this is the wrong way to ask.
I installed using the AUR and got no errors, when I run from desktop (kde plasma) it starts and closes, when I run from terminal with the executable name 'goofcord' I get:
No performance modes set

Is there some kind of config file I should change?

[BUG] goofcord killed by SIGSEGV

[BUG] Dynamic icon not working in Windows when GoofCord is pinned

When the 'Dynamic icon' option is enabled, the taskbar icon does not update or display pings when GoofCord is pinned. This issue appears to be related to an unreported Electron bug.

Temporary solution: Unpin GoofCord from the taskbar.

[BUG] Minimize to tray not working

Description

[No matter what OS, Linux or Windows, the minimize to tray setting doesn't work. And yes, it's enabled in the settings.]

Steps to Reproduce

[1) Open Goofcord. 2) Make sure minimize to tray is enabled in settings. 3) Close GoofCord by clicking the X button. 4) Notice that it disappears from system tray, and when you reopen it, the window scaling is back to fullscreen.]

Expected Behavior

[I expected clicking the X button to minimize GoofCord like the official client, and to open it exactly how it was before I 'minimized' it.]

Actual Behavior

[GoofCord completely closed and did not minimize.]
