Challenges & Learnings
One challenge was understanding the specifics of the Discord RPC protocol and handling its event lifecycle. I learned a lot about asynchronous programming in Node.js, managing external API connections, and creating user-friendly configuration options. Debugging issues related to Discord's rate limits was also an insightful experience.
