Windows support

[skelly37]

How about porting it to Windows? I'm not that cruel to force anyone to use batch, but there's plenty of solutions, e.g.:

• nushell (portable between Mac/Linux/Windows)
• powershell (decent shell)
• some more generic programming language (also portable, plus could be compiled and more people could help with it)

But have you even tried to do it for Windows? If yes, why haven't you developed this?

Maybe I'm too optimistic but it seems like the core-logic would be pretty-much the same

@bb010g wanted to port it to Rust at some point but that never went anywhere.

See BetterDiscord/Installer#52 (comment) for a basic PowerShell script.
It should still work as long as you update the app version in it.

The core logic is, in fact, not the same since the injection method is different.

thanks for the reply, guess I’ll play with creating a cross-platform installer in nu.

Which no one will use since they'd have to install the shell first.

Installing the runtime is the big thing. (I also drafted a rewrite in Common Lisp once.) I like how betterdiscordctl is easy to edit. Deno might be a good choice, if it's easily installable on all the distros we care about.

If we did rewrite it, I'd like it to be a static language like rust or go rather than depend on some runtime.

I will try to make a python fork :D @skelly37
