Feature Request - Log for drafteffects messages. #770

Open tiera3 opened 1 month ago

tiera3 commented 1 month ago

I've been playing around with drafteffects and it is easy to miss a popup message letting you what another player has done - especially if toggling between the draftmancer tab and a discord chat tab during the draft.

Not sure where to fit it on screen, but a log of the effect messages would be nice - probably with a notation of which pack/pick they occurred on.

Something like ...

p1p3 Fred picked Cogwork Librarian p1p6 Fred used Cogwork Librarian p1p8 Amy picked Cogowork Librarian

would be ideal.

And a side note. Am I correct that you would prefer feature requests here rather than on discord?

My immediate reaction would be to add these notifications to the chat history, but you'd still have to know you missed a notification to open the history and see it. Next step would be to keep track of "unread messages" (messages and notifications received while the tab wasn't in focus) and notify the user with a different icon for example, but that's a lot of work for a very fringe use case :D

I find it easier to keep track of issues/requests on GitHub, yes. Discord is better for discussions though, feel free to still open a thread there if you want to gather more opinions.

Chat history seems like a good option. And generally someone should know if there are draftmatters cards in the pool, so would know to open chathistory when applicable.
