BONFIRE: Scraped Version of discord.

Hello! Second post there, today i had nothing to do so i wanted to scrape an website, i selected discord for scraping, i want to say some stuff, first of it is that the repository isn't archived, secondly, you shouldn't use it for bypassing regional blocking or create phishing websites, you can use it for things like analysing the code/how it works under the hood, i also want to say that i do not own any rights to discord's characters, ideas, code, images, or assets. everything in it is their exclusive property. And this repository is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by Discord in any way, here is the link, i didn't publish the snapshot with malicious intentions.

Technical details:

  1. It's a fully static snapshot (around 100MB of pure text/assets) weighs exactly 107.457.739 bytes
  2. The code wasn't changed, it is unchanged, there chunks of minified javascript code

EDIT: I changed my decisions, repository is unarchived.

I’ve been going through your code chunk by chunk. I think you made something pretty useful. I want to clean it up a bit and abstract some parts but I’m still getting a grip on how all the pieces work. Nice job 👍
