Alternative PreMiD backend written in Rust. Ditch that bloated official Electron-based backend and free up your precious RAM and disk space!
Please note that this program doesn't include any bells and whistles, it just provides Discord rich presence.
Warning
This project uses relateively unstable libraries. It should work but use at your own discretion until we publish a stable release.
Rust backend vs Electron-based backend:

| Disk space required | ~11MB | ~200MB |
| RAM usage | ~8MB | ~20MB |

- Download the latest release.
- (optional) Add the program to startup so it launches on PC boot/login.
- Execute the program from a terminal/cmd. You won't see any output by default. Specify an environment variable below for more output options.
Known missing features:
- Settings
- Local presence (for presence development)
I'm undecided whether these features should be added. Open an issue if you wish to discuss this!
Requires rust to be installed on your system (duh).
