Compact mode messages should begin at the same position rather than depend on username length.

Hello, I just started using the compact mode, which literally has the name "IRC" in the options so it's hard not to compare. All around it's pretty good but variable username lengths are making it less readable.

Suggestion: Add padding to the left, a specific area for usernames, and then begin the message, so that every new message starts from the same position, even if it's a long message that starts on the next line.

IRC example:

mexicooooooo   |   My message begins here.

                           | My second message continues here...

Iliketurtles         |   Who cares mate?

Discord compact mode example:

mexicooooooo: My message begins here.

My second message continues here...

Iliketurtles: Who cares mate?

Decided to learn a bit of CSS to play around and see how it would look like if I imitated the IRC screen.

It's not perfect and I'm sure it breaks a load of stuff across devices, but I think it looks kind of neat. Took me like an hour to get that green line in there without editing the HTML lol. Also, ignore the missing clock, it went somewhere in space.

10/10 will never use CSS again.
