## [About](https://spacebar.chat)

Spacebar/server is a Discord backend re-implementation and extension.
We aim to reverse engineer and add additional features to the Discord backend, while remaining completely backwards compatible with existing bots, applications, and clients.

This repository contains:

-   [Spacebar HTTP API Server](/src/api)
-   [WebSocket Gateway Server](/src/gateway)
-   [HTTP CDN Server](/src/cdn)
-   [Utility and Database Models](/src/util)

## Clients

You _should_ be able to use any client designed for Discord.com to connect to a Spacebar instance.  
However, some incompatibilities still exist between Spacebar and Discord. For this reason, not every client will connect.  
The [WIP official Spacebar client](https://github.com/spacebarchat/client) will always work.
You can find a [live version here](https://app.spacebar.chat).
