Paicord
A native Discord client written in Swift using SwiftUI, with a goal of feature parity with customisation and Quality-of-Life additions!
[!NOTE]
Paicord is still in development! Expect a number of issues or unimplemented features. If you encounter a bug, please create an issue!
Paicord currently supports sending messages, replying to messages, uploading files and photos, it has partial Discord-flavoured markdown support, partial reactions support, partial embeds support etc.
This list is not exhaustive but the goal for Paicord is to have parity with the official Discord client, excluding unfavourable things like upselling of services. A real feature/todo list will be made eventually.
[!WARNING]
As all third-party clients and client mods do, using Paicord is a violation of Discord ToS! Whilst Paicord ensures to pretend to be Discord as close as possible, the risk of account bans is ever-present. Beware!
Cross-platform
We have subprojects in the works to port the client to other platforms natively too! Keep an eye out on the repo or join the Discord Server!

References
Paicord uses modified versions of DiscordBM and SwiftMarkdownParser. These other references are mentioned since I read their code to learn from others.
And of course, Discord Userdoccers and its maintainers helped massively with their unofficial documentation and direct help.
