DM Support

[SylveonBottle]

Please leave this issue open as a form of "status" for this feature, unless the feature is not planned for Livebot - i.e. don't close it just because it's already planned.

It'd be amazing if we could have DM support for bots. My intentions are to move over from a user account to a bot account, it's necessary to be able to interact with DM's.

Features for full DM support include:
-Notification upon receiving a DM (with the ability to disable this option globally or per-user) (potentially show notifications for DM's received while offline?)
-The ability to view said DM
-The ability to view a list of open DM's (similar to discord's "Direct Messages" tab, which shows all of your dm's)
-The ability to create a DM via inputting a discord discriminator
-The ability open/create a DM with a user via context menu in a server (rightclick user > "Message")
-Retain message history over app instances (view the message history for DM's)

I'm not sure if some of these features are even possible, Discord removed the ability for a bot to see any DMs it has awhile back, we now have to rely on the messageRecieved event.

Oh wait, seriously? Wooowww, big rip..
Maybe we could log previous messages and save them to a file.. but, like, at that point.. Big rip.

Because bots cannot see dms, support for dms will likely not be considered. Join the discord link on the readme page for faster responses or to place new suggestions.
