 # Vencord Desktop
 
 A standalone Electron app that loads Discord & Vencord (very early and unfinished)
+
+## Motivation
+
+The official Discord Desktop app is very resource heavy compared to Discord in your Browser. There are multiple alternative Electron apps (ArmCord, WebCord, probably more) that prove how much of a performance gain you can gain by using a custom app. ArmCord already supports Vencord but makes it pretty limited for us. Making our own standalone app gives us much more control.
+
+This is just a random idea I (V) got, and might not actually ever be finished heh
