Yeah, Discord is not open source and I believe modifying the official client is against its terms of service.

(Let’s appreciate for a moment the refreshing difference in the way Discourse is managed and exposed for modification!)

You could build or modify an alternative client, but that’s a big undertaking to track the features of the official client (whilst adding more!). I’m not that up-to-speed with alternative clients but if you can suggest one that is well maintained and has a plugin system …

So right off the bat, I’d say Discord side UI modifications are going to be more tricky.

_However_, I’m about to release a new change to [the Discord Bot plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discord-bot-run-one-on-your-discourse-server-keep-things-in-sync/122530) that allows you to copy the x last messages from Discord into a new Topic in Discourse.

This is achieved by “bot” command as apposed to a menu click.

It respects and matches user accounts and allows you to specify the target Topic title or Category.

In this release there is also a feature to auto copy chat from Discord to Discourse if the channel and Category names match.

There is already an ability to post new Topics into an announcements Channel.
