i roughly modified this to work how i wanted, its definitely not "best practices" or "good", and some stuff is hardcoded.

I used to have a seperate program here, for just getting the current fronter, but instead you should just use curl https://api.pluralkit.me/v2/systems/YOURID/fronters | jq -r .members[0].name

PluralKit RPC

A rich presence client for PluralKit users.

This program will get your currently fronting system member and show it in your Discord status. Make sure you run the program on the same machine as your Discord client in order for it to work.

How to use

Automatic way

This involves letting the included .bat and .sh files work their magic.

1. Download this repo and extract it somewhere
2. Run whatever file suits your system
   • Windows: run.bat
   • Mac: run-mac.sh
   • Linux: run-linux.sh
3. That's it :)

Manual way

This means doing everything by hand. Make sure you're comfortable with a terminal/command prompt

1. Install Nodejs from this link
2. Download this repo and extract it somewhere handy
3. Install dependencies with npm install in the root folder, using your preferred terminal
4. Use node index to run the program

Adding avatars

Edits are no longer needed to make avatars work! This program will instead use the avatars set up in PK. This should thankfully work out of the box!

Note that if you have multiple fronters, only the first one will show up in terms of their avatar. For example, if you have a fronter list that looks like Jake, John, Jerry, then only Jake's avatar will show up (alongside your system avatar, if set up)

Caveats

This app won't work if your fronters are privated. In order for the app to see your fronters, it'd need your app token. If you'd like to make modifications in order for the program to accept a token, feel free- however, this app focuses on using already public information, given that you'll be using this to broadcast who's fronting in your Discord status.

Another caveat is that this program may not update immediately. It runs on a clock cycle that updates every few seconds, so if you switch and don't see immediate changes, please be patient.
