Could you build this?
No Building a 100% native client for Discord in Rust requires reverse-engineering or fully maintaining the undocumented Discord Gateway WebSocket protocol, voice WebRTC stack, and extensive protocol rate limiting/cryptography.
What it would actually take: Implementing this requires a Rust desktop stack (e.g., Slint, iced, or Tauri) implementing Discord's stateful WebSocket Gateway protocol, JSON/ETF message serialization, and an end-to-end WebRTC implementation handling audio encryption and Discord-specific voice server signaling. It requires significant protocol reverse engineering, real-time networking expertise, and ongoing evasion of Discord client verification and ban heuristics.
