## Description

Discordo is a command-line interface client for Discord that enables terminal-based communication. It allows users to access servers and send messages through a keyboard-driven text interface instead of a web browser or desktop application.

The client features a customizable interface where users can modify themes, keybindings, and general settings via a flat-file configuration system.

Identity verification is handled through user account authentication using either authentication tokens or a QR-code scanning flow. These mechanisms establish secure sessions to communicate with the Discord API.
