Timestamps/headers are a bit messy

Open jarommadsen opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Consider adding in some markdown to make the timestamps a bit sexier.

A couple ideas:

Idea 1:

M/D/YYYY (quoted + new line)

User (bold + new line) Message (normal + new line)

Idea 2: User (bold) M/D/YYYY (code block) Message (normal + new line)

Let me know what you think!

Also maybe the ability to toggle on/off timestamps altogether.

I had to take some time to think about this request as there is a good case for cleaning up the timestamps in general. One change was already done to improve this, but I don't disagree it can be further improved.

As of right now, I prefer to keep things inline, but there is absolutely no reason not to further clean up the timestamps with proper formatting.

Proposed method to keep things inline but replace formatting: MM/DD/YY User: Message content + +/n

Or proposed method to newline after User: to break up monotony of less important data: MM/DD/YY User: +/n Message content + +/n

Personally, I prefer the first method.

My thoughts were to make it look a bit more like a regular discord message. Inline makes it a bit hard to find who it is that sent the message. Bold will help a bit.

Okay, I'll consider this and make a decision. More than likely there's no issue with doing the latter of the two so I may just do so.

The latest Windows release now has cleaner timestamps. Messages are a bit more clean now, too. See the latest Windows release (Linux/Mac coming soon).
