Title

Discord on MacOS

Description

I'm consulting on a private project with a couple of friends. They use Discord for communication. It's quite a nice app, but there is no app in the MacOS app store. When I search for it, Apple shows me the following, wildly irrelevant hits. <img src="{att_link}discord_in_app_store.jpg" href="{att_link}discord_in_app_store.jpg" align="none" caption="Discord in App Store" scale="25%"> You could also just say that you didn't find any hits, Apple. This isn't even close. The top hit is a 1/5-star reviewed product, with one review. What is the point of ever even showing this product to anyone who didn't search for it? So I installed the product from a download instead. The first thing it did on startup is to ask for access to all keystrokes in all applications. What the hell, Discord? <img src="{att_link}discord_wants_keystrokes.png" href="{att_link}discord_wants_keystrokes.png" align="none" caption="Discord wants all keystrokes" scale="40%"> This thing is a key-logger? What the actual hell? Or it wants to register global shortcuts, but not using the "approved" method. This is the probably the reason that it's not in the App Store.
