Discord Feature Suggestion

Dear Discord Developer Team,

I was thinking of a few ideas for new text options for users to spice up their channel names and their chat threads. This is only a working idea as I do not have any coding experience.

Idea number one: I had always thought the addition of gif emojis were really funny and held lost of potential to provide character to the text chats. A great addition or compliment to this would be to add new text commands much like the * * or the || || but instead of creating a censor or a italicized it would animate the text that the user would type. This idea could be compared to Apple's animated text like the "Slam" or the "Loud" where the text jumps out of the screen and interacts with the background by temporarily shatters the surrounding background. You could probably take this further by adding other animations like the Solitaire falling card animation where the text falls off the screen and bounces around leaving copies of itself or a more simple bouncing in place animation where the text just jumps up and down in a wave. Building off the Solitaire idea you could also add a "replay" button if the user wished to see the animation again. This feature doesn't have to be limited to a one time animation either it could be a continuous looping animation like a rainbow text the changes colors in a wave much like the standard color setting of RGB keyboards and how they flash the spectrum of colors. I think that adding this feature to discord would make the chats more lively and fun to participate in. This could be added in as either a standard feature of discord in order to rope in new discord users by introducing more variety in the text chats than your competitors or as a Nitro feature as a way to add more incentive to get people to buy Nitro so they can join in on the fun! Personally I am fine with either as a nitro user.

Idea number two: I had seen this feature in discord already but it is very robust and doesn't always function as intended. This would be the feature to color code text. I think that this would be a great way for people to individualize and stand out from others among the crowd. This wouldn't function as the standard highlighting of messages like when you @ someone but this could function as changing the color of the text itself. Instead of having black or white you could use a color code to type in whatever color you wanted. In addition to this you would also be able to search messages by color much like searching for messages by user. If someone said something important but you can't remember who or what they were talking about but you remember that it was recent and the color you had seen was red then you could search for all red messages. I could see this being a great function to be added and can be utilized by a multitude of people. Some of the functions of this could be to be used in the rules of discords to highlight "Do's" and "Don'ts" of a discord or to even color code the channel names. Personally, I believe that this would be also really appealing to people who like to theme their discords in the season colors or if you had a favorite game or anime and you wanted to deck out the channels in that color scheme you could.

Thank you for taking the time to read through my post! Any feedback or comments on my idea would be greatly appreciated to help it become a more refined idea. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Ren
