Allow creation of DM with yourself
Problem
It is very useful to be able to create a DM with yourself to share and remember notes with yourself.
Right now we can't do this because the DM creation modal doesn't show your username in it.
Solution
- Allow creating a DM to yourself.
- If a DM is created between you and some other people, treat it the same way as we do right now with creating a DM with those other people (just ignore the fact that you're also listed in the DM - you are obviously are going to be part of the conversation).
Hi @taoeffect ,
As a solution for this issue, how would you like that we add To: @Me button underneath the search bar, instead of showing the current user in the "Others" list below? (I feel this can be a solution that brings the least amount of complexity to the existing logic and can make the feature stand out to the users at the same time)
@SebinSong No, I'm not a fan of complicating the UI. I am a fan of simplifying the UI. If, for example, you prefer to get rid of "Recent Conversations" and "Others" and just have a list of users (and convos?) in the list, that works too.
My preference would be to treat your user as anyone else.

Got it!
@taoeffect Below is the welcome message printed after a DM is created. What would you like it to say for the case of DM to myself?
