Discordが絵文字チャットに対応、公式APIとドキュメントも公開

昨日、Discordがアップデートされて絵文字に対応しました。直感的に利用出来る様になったのは素晴らしいですね。

今回のアップデートの詳細は、以下の通りです。

• Discover Emoji with the fancy new Emoji Picker. Just click on it in the text area to be whisked away to emojiopolis.
• Discord Official API with support for bots and oauth is now documented and ready for take off. If you’re a developer, click this blue link to read the docs and start building right now.
• More Emojis are pretty much the only thing I’ve ever wanted in my life. Now they’re here in Discord. All Unicode 8 emoji including :taco: and :eggplant: are available for good ol’ fashioned fun.
• People Emoji can now change skin color as part of the new Unicode 8 support. Pop open the Emoji Picker and choose your preferred color to be yourself, and not someone else. :ok_hand::skin-tone-2:
• Member List can now be toggled at will by clicking a button. Find the button on the top right. Great for not seeing people.
• We Improved the Disconnect Sound to take advantage of this futuristic new technology called Stereo. MajorLeagueWobs made a beat. MicDaMicrophone made a rap. Check it.
• Streamer Mode lets you hide your kids, your wife, your husbands, and all your relevant Discord information you don’t want public while streaming.
• Improved SFX quality across the entire app to make your beeps and boops way tastier.
• Stability Improvements (you’ll now resume without losing state if your net drops briefly). One of those things that you won’t notice and that’s exactly the point.
• Overlay functionality improved. You can now drag & drop users between channels.
• Compact Mode has been great, but got out of line. Now it’s been aligned. All the lines align.
• Wumpus is now on iOS. That’s it. Wumpus is now on Discord.
• iOS Performance Improvements to make the app more good and less bad.
• Animation Polish on opening and closing direct messages went through acting class and now perform better.
• Airhorn Solutions will live on and is being open sourced to show off the API. Add the bot to your server and get #ReadyForHorning

そして気になるのが「公式APIの公開」です。今までのDiscordでは非公式APIを利用する必要があり、非公式APIを利用したbotアカウントも複数あった訳ですが、公式APIが公開された事で、今後はbotが熱い国内でもDiscordの認知度が高まっていきそうな気がします。

今回のアップデートで紹介された「AIRHORN BOT」ですが

導入するとコマンドを打つことで警笛が流れる様になります。一応使い道はありそうですけど、悪用は厳禁って事で・・・ｗ
