Implement Discord RPC integration for discord rich presence

[haxfn]

Can there be a way to implement the Discord RPC integration for helix-editor. Would this be better done through interface of steel?

I can't figure out a hack for this: Is there any way for me to emulate helix-editor to communicate its state:

1. The file its editing
2. Time elapsed (doable externally)
3. Repository/Project details

Maybe not so much of this applied to helix, "do one thing and do it well"?

Explicitly, the goal is to have something like this show up on discord, but for helix:

Some starting points:
Discord JS
Discord RPC (deprecated)
Discord GameSDK

BTW, the screenshots are from a vscode plugin: https://github.com/LeonardSSH/vscord

I want to contribute in this direction, although it really isn't that is of helix's focus currently, but I request some guidance/hints.

Something like https://github.com/xhyrom/zed-discord-presence/tree/main/lsp is probably your best bet for now

this could be the best bet for now forsure as helix allows u to add a new language server

incase u're still using helix i decided to write it:

This is one approach, although some details are confusing:

$HX_FILE is a "built in feature"? (currently I don't think modifies this for env)
"hx commands output to track ..."?(currently, I don't think hx has any such commands)

Did you mean that these could be implemented in the future?

I don't know.. Once you open helix, you could change files, working directories. Unless you have a way for helix to communicate what it has and for how long, I don't think there is much scope trying state management externally?

I am unable to think of any hack around this.
