Live chat for indie hackers, answered from Discord

Product Overview
Deskcord is a live chat tool for indie hackers and makers that lets teams answer website visitors from Discord. Each visitor’s message opens its own thread in a Discord channel, and the reply shows up in the website chat widget live.
It’s designed for small teams who already use Discord and want a simpler alternative to traditional customer support tools. Setup takes about five minutes with a single script tag (or an npm package), and visitors don’t need a Discord account to chat.
Key features
- Each visitor message opens a dedicated thread in the selected Discord channel
- Replies from Discord threads appear live in the visitor’s chat widget
- Setup uses a single script snippet (or npm package) added to the site
- No dashboard: setup, usage, and billing are handled via Discord slash commands
- Discord notifications inform the team when someone writes, and visitors see online/read status
- Deskcord doesn’t store conversation copies; chats remain in the Discord server even after cancellation
How Deskcord works
- 1
Add the Discord bot
Invite Deskcord to the target server with one click, then choose the Discord channel where conversations should land.
- 2
Install the site widget
Run /setup in Discord and paste the provided snippet before </body> (or use the npm package) so the chat widget can connect.
- 3
Reply in the visitor thread
When a visitor writes, Deskcord creates a thread in Discord; the team replies there and the message appears live in the visitor’s chat window.
Use cases
- A maker receives a question in the site chat widget (e.g., “Can I export my data as CSV?”) and answers in the matching Discord thread; the visitor sees the response immediately.
- A small support team uses Discord notifications to respond to new chat messages without switching tools, keeping every conversation organized by visitor thread.
- A solo founder adds Deskcord to a marketing site and manages chat replies from Discord on desktop or mobile, while visitors can chat without creating a Discord account.
Who is it for?
Deskcord is built for indie hackers, makers, solo founders, and small teams who already operate in Discord and want website live chat without managing a separate support console. It’s especially useful when support volume is growing and reply workflows need to stay in one place.
