SwitchRP is an electron application for Nintendo Switch users on Discord that allows them to update their game status via Discord Rich Presence. This application was created because I wanted to share with other Discord users what I was playing on my Switch, but didn't want to go into my settings to say I was playing "Google Chrome" first.
This app currently supports setting the status for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate without the ability to customize your status.
