While I don't disagree with other commenters in that if this was ever widely used it could lead to the loss of functionality for all discord users and that anyone who did use it for anything more then experimentation would be abusing the good will of discord, I also think that it was a neat project and should have been better received by the community.
This is Hacker News. Maybe I'm too old school but this project feels exactly like something that would have been written up in the/one of the original "mainstream" hacker news sources, 2600 Magazine. It is the embodiment of the hacker/tinkerer spirit taking something that was made for one thing and building something entirely different on it.
I guess the biggest feedback to the OP is maybe if things were presented in more of a proof of concept demo with disclaimers type of way rather then "use this service" type of way it would be better received.
That said, while I don't plan on actually using it, I still think it was a neat idea and kudos for getting it working. Thank you for sharing!
- disbox 5y agoThank you so much for the comment and the feedback. It really means a lot and I appreciate it. I think you're absolutely right with the feedback, I shouldn't have built and presented like this.
