track and view threads #207

Open Chupalika opened 1 year ago

Chupalika commented 1 year ago

From what I could tell, threads aren't tracked yet. I think this would be a nice feature to add to the tracker.

The desktop app can track threads, but it cannot discover them automatically. I don't know how viable it would be to automate it, but with Discord adding yet more types of channels recently, I don't think DHT will ever be able to automate everything. Discord has gotten too complex.

ah I see now, a thread can be tracked if it's opened in full view. It's probably good enough, thanks! Automation would be nice but it's more of a quality of life thing, I think.

One thing I wanna add though: it seems that the viewer displays threads as channels. Would it be possible to distinguish channels from threads? Since threads are created within a channel, the viewer could show it as "#channel > #thread" or something.

DHT knows which channel the thread belongs to, so it's just a matter of improving the viewer UI.
