Where studios get stuck.
Embedded App SDK is unique to Discord. Voice integration, presence, and channel-context APIs do not map to other SuperApps. Discord IAP rev share and Stripe alternative require dual payment plumbing.
How Hangar handles it.
Hangar's Discord adapter wraps the Embedded App SDK, exposes the voice and presence APIs through a portable interface, and handles the App Directory submission. Studios get Discord-specific UX (voice rooms, channel context) without rewriting payment or auth.
Common questions about Discord.
What is a Discord Activity?
A Discord Activity is a web app that runs inside a Discord voice channel through the Embedded App SDK. Players launch the activity together from the call. Discord's voice, presence, and channel APIs are exposed to the activity at runtime.
Can I port a Telegram MiniApp to Discord?
Not directly. The runtime, payment, and platform APIs differ. Hangar generates a Discord-specific build from the same source MiniApp, with the Embedded App SDK wired and Discord IAP plus Stripe payments adapter selected at build time.
Does Discord take a revenue share?
Discord IAP via Discord Wallet has a revenue share that varies by program tier. Studios can also use Stripe directly for non-IAP transactions, with no Discord cut, subject to App Directory rules. Hangar exposes both as configuration options.
