In plain words

Discorch is an offline tool that lets users browse and delete their Discord message history. Users upload their Discord data package to search through messages and generate deletion requests that follow Discord's technical requirements, all processed locally on their device. The tool includes a step-by-step interface and a Go CLI for downloading attachments. It addresses Discord's complex and poorly documented bulk deletion process, giving users better control over their data.

Built this to help users manage their Discord message history. Upload your data package to browse messages and generate deletion requests that comply with Discord's requirements, all offline and locally. Discord's bulk deletion process is complex and poorly documented. With their recent push toward monetization and ads, users need better tools to control their data. Discorch makes this accessible by guiding you through the process step by step, with a simple and intuitive interface. Includes a Go CLI for attachment downloads. Search functionality needs improvement and there are some known bugs, but it works well for most use cases. Issues and PRs welcome at https://codeberg.org/discorch/discorch. I'll keep an eye on the comments for feedback and bug reports!

    Hey HN! I have been working on this project for a while, and I think this solves a problem that a lot of people here have: not being able to easily search Discord servers. Currently, I only scrape servers that are marked as "discoverable" on Discord. However, if there's enough interest in the project, I'm open to adding specific servers by request. I'm primarily focused on informational servers rather than casual hangout spaces, such as open source projects, Minecraft mods, and support communities for tools, services, or platforms (for example, hosting providers). I have placed restrictions…

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
