+Discord [Rich Presence](https://discord.com/rich-presence) plugin for Neovim.
+
+<img src="https://gist.githubusercontent.com/andweeb/df3216345530234289b87cf5080c2c60/raw/4b07351547ae9a6bfdcbc1f915889b90a5349242/presence-demo.gif" alt="demo.gif">
+
+## Features
+* Simple and unobtrusive
+* No Python/Node providers (or CoC) required
+* Startup time is fast(er than other Rich Presence plugins, by [kind of a lot](https://github.com/andweeb/presence.nvim/wiki/Plugin-Comparisons))
+* Written in Lua and configurable in Lua (but also configurable in VimL if you want)
+
+## Installation
+Use your favorite plugin manager
+* [packer](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim): `use 'andweeb/presence.nvim'`
+* [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug): `Plug 'andweeb/presence.nvim'`
+
+#### Notes
+* Requires [Neovim nightly (v0.5)](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly)
+* Linux and macOS is supported, but Windows is **WIP** ([help wanted!](#contributing))
+
+## Configuration
+Rich Presence works right out of the box after installation. To override default behaviors, configuration options are available in both Lua and VimL.
+
+### Lua
+Require the plugin and call `setup` with a config table with any of the following keys:
+
+```lua
+Presence = require("presence"):setup({
+    -- This config table shows all available config options with their default values
+    auto_update       = true,                       -- Update activity based on autocmd events (if `false`, map or manually execute `:lua Presence:update()`)
+    editing_text      = "Editing %s",               -- Editing format string (either string or function(filename, path): string)
+    workspace_text    = "Working on %s",            -- Workspace format string (either string or function(project_name, path): string)
+    neovim_image_text = "The One True Text Editor", -- Text displayed when hovered over the Neovim image
+    main_image        = "neovim",                   -- Main image display (either "neovim" or "file")
+    client_id         = "793271441293967371",       -- Use your own Discord application client id (not recommended)
+    log_level         = nil,                        -- Log messages at or above this level (one of the following: "debug", "info", "warn", "error")
+})
+```
+
+### VimL
+Or if global variables are more your thing, you can use any of the following instead:
+```viml
+let g:presence_auto_update       = 1
+let g:presence_editing_text      = "Editing %s"
+let g:presence_workspace_text    = "Working on %s"
+let g:presence_neovim_image_text = "The One True Text Editor"
+let g:presence_main_image        = "neovim"
+let g:presence_client_id         = "793271441293967371"
+let g:presence_log_level
+```

+## Contributing
+Pull requests are very welcome! Here some open todo items:
+- [ ] Use named pipes to support Windows
+- [ ] Expose file assets table as a configurable option
+- [ ] Retry connection after initial setup or a closed pipe (i.e. after quitting Discord app)
+- [ ] Attempt to connect to a range of pipes from `discord-ipc-0` to `discord-ipc-9` (see [note](https://github.com/discord/discord-rpc/blob/master/documentation/hard-mode.md#notes))
+- [ ] Set activity on other autocommands (`:h events`)
+
+Discord asset additions and changes are also welcome! Supported file types can be found in [file_assets.lua](lua/presence/file_assets.lua) and their assets can be found [in this folder](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j8913f0gav3toeh/AADxjn0NuTprGFtv3Il1Pqz-a?dl=0).
