(Concept) Discord pop out menu
This is a concept I made myself. My idea is that you could have a small, possibly resizable mini menu for discord. Think of something similar to the pop-out player for Spotify web player. My problem is that I don't use discord overlay because it can cover up gameplay. I've also had problems with discord overlay interfering with my games working correctly in the past, so I've just turned it off. I'd rather have something like this where I can move it off to the corner of a second screen.
Normally, I will put my discord application on my second monitor so I can still check who is in the call and when I'm muted effortlessly. But the full discord application takes up a lot of my screen even when in the smallest form factor, so if I want to have something like a video or game wiki on my second screen, I lose access to seeing my discord. A small menu like this could be small enough that I could still see everything I need in discord while barely taking up my screen.
About my idea
The picture I submitted is split into two parts. On the top part, I placed the small menu on the bottom left side of the picture. This is meant to represent the size comparison between the menu and a monitor. The bottom half goes deeper into an explanation about possible features for this menu.
The first picture on the bottom shows a basic design I came up with. I made sure the menu could show me if I am muted/deafened, as well as see who recently joined the call so they can be welcomed.
The middle picture on the bottom half moves the call to the left side, removing the new user's section. This adds a box where you can view a selected DM or maybe a server channel. This is NOT meant to send messages from, this is only meant to see who said what, you would still need to go into full discord to respond to the message. Think of this kind of like a pager to keep on track with what's happening.
The last picture shows that if you really wanted to, you would be able to use a light theme for the menu.

Nice idea, shame you've posted it in the API section?
