Got a fancy new Discord Activity but found that your Launch button went missing? Here's a patch for that!

• 🔗 Article: Missing Launch Button in your Discord Activity? Fix the Entry Point Command!

Running the Script

Make sure you have Node.js installed and download (or copy) the script below, then run this in your terminal:

node discord-activity-entry-fix.js <DISCORD_CLIENT_ID> <DISCORD_TOKEN>

Replace <DISCORD_CLIENT_ID> and <DISCORD_TOKEN> with the actual values in your Discord Developer Portal. Yes, you need a Discord Bot token to fix your Discord Activity.

This will work even if you're making Discord Apps using other languages, such as Python or Ruby.

Discord Activities are Fun!

Discord Activities are a fun way to engage with your community. They're like mini-games or interactive experiences that you can create and share with others and are often built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They're essentially web apps that run inside Discord itself. Robo.js is a powerful framework that makes building Discord Activities easy and fun.

npx create-robo <projectName> -k activity

If you don't already have a Discord Activity, you can create one in seconds with Robo.js.
