Discord on switch? Almost.
-
So i found out there's a called https://browserling.com and it actuallyletd you load modern website on the switch. Problem? The company is greedy and gives you only three minutes. I manager to discord.com/app on switch via this method but it is very painful to do and limits how many times you can use browserling.com . So my plan? make a vnc site that works on switch

That's neat, but it requires the entire browsing session to be held on their servers, which is likely why they require you to pay for it.
There is this tool, which is similar and open source: https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice Which can used from a computer on the network.
If we were to host it on behalf of users, it would probably need to be tied to BDNS accounts, and I'm not sure how well it would scale (or work in the first place).
But for purely using discord, you could try Discross: https://browsedns.net/topic/6438/discross-discord-on-switch-kinda

Seems neat but I don't have a computer for the browservice tool. But my thought was to host your own VNC from the google cloud console. Seems easy. I will be making a followup to this soon when I get the chance. Discross I use sometimes but it requires me asking the owner to add the bot for me and not everyone wantx that bot on their servers. But my plan for the incoming post is to use google cloud console for the VNC. Although I will need another device. That's my plan.

For the VNC client, https://novnc.com/ might work well on the Switch browser, it's come up before in some other topics.
But yeah, something like google cloud console sounds right, this guide makes it seem not-so-bad: https://medium.com/@piyushraj246800/your-guide-to-vnc-server-on-gcp-ed8255c81b43

Tried loading the novnc demo and seems to be an endless loop (maybe ill try smth else later like docker or smth)
-
But perhaps the demo doesnt work because it's not supposed to.
