🤔 The latest version is now 1.6.2? and I don't know about this BetterDiscord... Looks interesting
Looks like the installer is at version 1.1.1, which will download and install the latest version of BetterDiscord. (related discussion). We can use something like "version": "1.6.2-installer1.1.1" to avoid confusion.
Another problem is that the installer could not be extracted properly, and it does not have a silent install switch. (related issue 1) (related issue 2).
We may need to mangle with Node.JS's npm if we want to add this to Scoop.
FYI, there's gonna be a CLI installer in the near future. Keep an eye out for https://github.com/BetterDiscord/cli.
