the actual app code isn't open source

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 2d

afaik Android doesn't support this, we recently added support for showing image attachments in Android notifications tho

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 2d

for in-app markdown parsing we use simple-markdown www.npmjs.com/package/simp...

the original Android app used SimpleAST github.com/discord/Simp... but the new app uses the shared simple-markdown code and now we only use SimpleAST for syntax highlighting.

Discord notifications on iOS now render custom emoji inline!

Discord notification on iOS rendering emoji:
advaith

aws outage? looks like canvas, notion, and asana are having issues

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 3d

huh is this referencing something

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 3d

why does this site use a custom "link to highlighted text" system instead of just browser-native text fragments?

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 5d

fix is out! ctrl+r

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 5d

if you can't send attachments in a channel, you cannot forward messages with attachments to that channel.

Forwarding to a "test" channel being blocked with the description "Attachments are disabled in this channel"

i mean you could be writing normal text that happens to have a colon in it

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 5d

we do not render emoji autocomplete when you only type :. would likely be annoying for non-emoji colon use

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 5d

someone is working on an update to the ordering in emoji autocomplete, and looks like the change assumed that the query is non empty, which is true for normal emoji autocomplete but not for the reaction case

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 5d

uh oh lol. we'll fix

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 6d

ah maybe it just failed to load then

is progressive avif new in chrome? I wasn't seeing it until I updated from 141.0.7390.55-64 to 141.0.7390.78 🤔

I've added a new component to modals: file uploads! your bot can now finally ask users to upload files right in a modal, along with other components, streamlining upload flows. a file upload component can accept only one file or multiple (up to 10), and supports all file types.

A Bug Submission modal, featuring a File Upload component in a label with the description "Please upload a screenshot or other image that shows the bug you encountered". The component says "Drop files here or browse": "Upload up to 10 files under 500 MB."

I don't understand using social media apps for group chats. I don't use twitter group chats and my only Instagram gcs are for reel spam with no actual conversation - I only actually talk to people on Discord

iOS 26.1 beta seems to finally fix the screenshot ui not showing up. huge upgrade

advaith @advaith.bsky.social · 17d

also they need to allow deleting prs in your repo. I've been doxxed in GitHub prs so many times and repo owners can't do anything about it, and sometimes GitHub support doesn't help either
