BetterChat V4 | Early development

I’ve created a few custom chats in the past,

Past chats

Better Chat [V1] BRANCH DISCONTINUED]
Better Chat V2 [Deprecated]
BetterChat V3 | Discontinued


And it’s time to continue to the next one. Here I will announce the development of BetterChat v4 (started today), I’m not sure if it will be 100% finished, that depends on responses to its design and feedback. Once it’s more functional, I will begin releasing it publicly (not intended for production), but to get bugs fixed, and have maintainers (if someone decides to do so).

Here are my early UI drafts so far:

Just wanted to know if anyone had any feature requests, feedback for my new UI design, or things they want to see in it.

This looks pretty cool, it’s nice and simple. Would definitely use this.


I think it would look more concise to add a slight transparent background to replies.
The line is just floating there without really being connected to the rounded textbox.

Similar to how google chats does it:

Along with that idk if making names italicized or bolded might look clearer in the “xyz replied to xyz” text.

Maybe you can make it like discord’s, where if you click on the reply it will take you there?

And also FYI I made a module for stuff like this if that piques your interest

Here’s the testing game for anyone who wants to experience v4 while I’m developing it!
