half of what you said is skill issues, but I do recognize that yeah the process is kind of a pain at the beginning. as a developer myself it was easy for me to download it as I had the usual developer intuition to find stuff, but I guess normal users would not be able to use it as straightforward as I did…

So, you may know that if the app is already open, opening the app again or running again the cider command on linux will just try to open a new cider instance, instead of focusing the window. It's a mess because the only way to re-open the app when it's in the system tray is in fact, from the system tray, and this goes against many people's workflows, because maybe somebody doesn't want to keep their system tray visible just for cider to be opened, or maybe I want to have a keyboard shortcut to open cider but I can't.
So my request is, if this could be done, to make so that the cider command focuses the already running instance in case cider is already running.
Hey, a few reasons have been given for this.
It's difficult to package electron forge applications for arch. I'm sure this is not an excuse, but there is an AUR package called cider2-bin atm, or you can use the flatpak/AppImage at the moment. I'm with you, I'm also getting frustrated for this, but I doubt this is gonna do any better.
Hey pal, had this issue a while ago.
Are other apps working with RPC or is Cider the only one?
Also, have you seen this on the ArchWiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Discord#Enabling_rich_presence_on_Flatpak
