Description
Nowly automatically shows what you are doing online in your Discord Rich Presence status. With a browser extension, it detects what you watch, listen to, or browse, and shares it in real time with your Discord friends: title, channel, progress, and clickable buttons.

Could you build this?
Partial Connecting a browser extension to Discord Rich Presence requires a local companion bridge application because web browsers cannot directly open local IPC/RPC sockets to communicate with Discord desktop.
What it would actually take: The system requires a browser extension with content scripts targeting various media sites (YouTube, Spotify, etc.) paired with a native messaging host (written in Go, Rust, or Node.js) installed on the user's OS. The native host connects to the Discord local IPC socket via named pipes or Unix domain sockets to transmit Rich Presence activity payloads. Crafting seamless cross-platform installers and continuous scraper maintenance across dozens of target sites is the primary technical hurdle.
