IRC Nicknames via user Notes (or something)
This might not be a catch-all solution, as I expect some users actually use notes for a purpose, but it would be helpful to have an ability to alias a user to a name https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/User?scrollTo=note
Some messages I get will look like
Their account name uses supported alphanumeric characters as an added detail, but it this didn't work out
irc;([a-zA-Z0-9_\\[\]\{\}\^`\|]+) could be a suggestion to use irc nicks alongside regular notes
but I'll let you figure it out
Oh that is actually a fairly good idea.
I want to explore something else as well. Officially irc doesn't support those characters for usernames, however I suspect that many modern clients have no issue with them.
So if I would remove part of the username scrubbing (and it would raise no issues with irc clients) would you still need this feature?
As an addition, I am planning to abuse WHOIS to display things like notes and roles from irc.
I'm using ZNC as a middleman, so I'm unsure if even that will support erroneous nicknames
It also occured to me that my current method of making usernames valid will possibly lead to duplicate usernames. I will need to fix that as well.
A WHOIS to display their account/display name as their real values would be very helpful
The Docs say that Notes are read only, I wonder if there's another function for setting it otherwise they have a url of https://discordapp.com/api/v6/users/@me/notes/[USERID] Alongside request params, generic authentication/identification
json {note: "content"}
