What do you want

An optional setting that allows the user to restrict the amount of username characters printed in the text view area.

Why

Some people have absurdly long names, ain't nobody got time for that. It would also increase flow of reading messages by presenting a uniform block of text.

Implementation hints

N/A

ayyy, i already talked about the messages in blocks thing. It ain't gonna work unless I rewrite everything, which currently I am not in the mood for. Could put a restriction to the length either way, maybe an optional one, since I personally would dislike this by default.

Hence the "optional" part. I'm just finding more and more things that could need improvement to make this the terminal application for Discord, but I guess it all depends on the rewrite of the message window.
I'm not expecting an immidiate fix or anything, but I'mma still make these issues to collect everything I come up with. Sorry uwu.

Maybe ... maybe I can use the grid layout for the chat. I have tried that in the past and it was horrible. But maybe I was just too dumb.

Namelength for nicknames seems to be 32. I should find out whether there's a limit I can request from the API, in order to avoiding hardcoding it as the fallback.
