By the late 90’s we were already at a point where MP3 was a viable option for playing sound bites on a website, yet RealPlayer was still a thing we had to download to listen to those awful quality. The very name itself fills me with dread. I won’t say going strong, but they are still going. However, you will be surprised what early innovators are still going. And as much as I really wanted them to take off (not really) we are not using Beenz as virtual currency. Geocities is no longer around to make horrible websites about our pets with. Netscape Navigator is long gone as a browser. Many of our favourites are dearly departed. Don't go all Skype on us ffs.Simon Miller Team : Web Development Tags :įor those of us who have lived (and worked) through the early days of the World Wide Web, we will have some fond – and not so fond – memories about early websites and early applications. Isn't it enough that people use, and love your platform? Wouldn't making people happy, and being flexible, strengthen your brand just as well if not more than some weak attempt at standardizing trademarks? What platform ever died because of something this ridiculous? People came to Discord because of the flexibility it offered. If you hear it on someones laptop or phone people go 'Oh they're using Discord' just like Messengers PING sound.

Yeah, I get it, you guys want to be iconic. Oh and quite frankly, the sound is terrible. Bigger IM platforms have fallen than this. All it will do is inspire competition, and don't think it isn't possible. You can't blame people for wanting to use better APIs and then choke them on options. You guys want to make this a nitro feature? Is that it? Go for it. Teamspeak and Ventrilo do this out of the box!. It's maddening, to know every single IM ever made has this feature and not Discord. I literally miss DMs for hours, notifications from groups for days, because they all sound the same. But this right here, is such a HUGE, HUGE problem, for anyone with many servers, it just dwarfs all that. You can't have them popup into their own window, or make them float. They speak their clients language, and understand what a good UI should look like.

They obviously have their ear to the ground and know what people need. There a reason they can't actually acknowledge why this has been a requested feature for so long and they refuse to do it? I used to love their goofy patch notes every version.
