Hidden features enabling switch

Open nickname76 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Discord has some features, that are available only for some test cohorts, but they can be enabled by anyone. I used to enable them using BetterDiscord plugin. Right now Discord has feature adding button for starting activities in voice channel, but it is not shown to all people, as I said before.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to enable those features by switch(es) in WebCord settings.

Describe alternatives you've considered The only alternative is BetterDiscord, but I won't use it.

Additional context This will boost popularity of WebCord dramatically, due to some really special features people can get using WebCord.

  1. WebCord is not a Discord mod. It won't have the same switches.
  2. I would need more details about this... I can't obviously enable something I don't even know to exist.
  3. Maybe that could be fixed once extensions will be ready?

Yes! Exactly!

It seems that those "experiments" tends to break after some time and the code needs to be continuously updated in order to make them working. I do not plan to implement this because of them likely being non-functional after some time. But you can still use DevTools to paste the code from these gists.

I dislike the this will boost popularity argument, in fact I don't see this is requested more than screen sharing implementation with audio on Linux. I think it's bad when your only argument on maintaining your software is its popularity and nothing else at all... Sure, I'd love to implement all community demanded features, but sometimes that's not easy or possible to satisfy everyone, especially when it flaws your own concept of your client. I just wanted to mention this as I won't prioritize any issue with the set of these magic words, so there's no reason to include this in Additional context next time.
