Discord webapp integration for easy platform switching
Problem
Not everyone has moved to Fluxer yet, so many people still have contacts spread across Discord and Fluxer. This means constantly switching between two apps, losing the benefit of having a single place to manage all your conversations.
Proposed solution
Add an optional Discord field when adding or editing a contact on Fluxer.
For DMs:
When adding a contact, you can optionally enter their Discord username and user ID
When you open that contact's DM in Fluxer, it opens the Discord web interface inside the chat field and navigates directly to the DM with that user
The user is already logged into Discord in their browser via their own account, so no extra authentication is needed on Fluxer's end
For servers:
You can link a Discord server (via invite link or server/channel ID) to a Fluxer server
Opening that server in Fluxer would open the corresponding Discord channel in a new tab
Does thisi defeat the purpose of having a better, safer, open source and Europe based Discord alternative? Maybe. But on the other hand, this does make switching a lot easier for users.
Would love to hear if others find this useful or have ideas to refine it!
