Discord's Next-Gen Redesign Concept! (and some experimental features)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- Discord has been pumping out new experiments and concepts, and all of them I'm going to glaze about.
We have new Discord UI concepts that range from Discord themes you find on client mods, all the way up to absolute heat. But we also have a revamp of Discord's discovery page which chef's kiss looks good. Nerdy boys like me though will get excited for Discord's bookmarks experiment. Imagine being able to pin any message for yourself only.... none of you are excited. BUT there's a possibility Discord can make it better.
And finally there's the ICYMI tab, which people will complain about.

@UTTPasdfghjkl what is wrong with you
@UTTPasdfghjkl I bet you're fun at parties :/
a normal comment
damn these bots hate you 💀
@UTTPasdfghjklhow much?
Modern UI design try not to border-radius challenge (impossible)
agreed. Also, my condolences to your only comments being bot comments
i mean it does look nice. it's just that sometimes designers go all-in and buttons become not just round, but they become literal circles (or pills if the circle is long). discord is basically already round _enough_ and it was so for quite a long time, theres no need to change i think
Depends on the radius.
@Blue-qr4fi *what the actual duck?*
@Blue-qr4fi tf is wrong with you
Concept 4 does not look like what would happen if Microsoft bought it, because the UI actually has padding and the placing makes sense
Fun fact: the Windows button on Windows 11 is uncentered :)
Thanks I hate it, now I can't unsee the uncentered button.
WAIT IS THAG REAL???
NO WAY!
i HATE you
NO- *-w h y-*
torturing fact*
they should add UI customizability, there should be a tab in settings to change which UI you want
Would be nice but knowing Discord, I seriously doubt this, or they'll make this a Nitro-only feature.
Having to manage bugs for every single UI and all that jazz is wayy too much work for what it is. Client mods will fill that void with themes
@@NoTextToSpeech True xD
@@NoTextToSpeechmaybe Discord should stop pretending like they are illegal and make them into an actual feature
But then they won't be able to sell cat ears
There is.
The maximize button in the top of your tab has non rounded corners. Checkmate.
non-rounded corners can be good if you use them correctly
The concept is not perfect then smh
Rounded corners might look good on something like a macbook, but 99% of monitors aren’t round, so why in the world would round window borders for a desktop app be a good idea?
Because how human brains work, there are research that suggest humans are more attentive with rounded corners than sharp corners and eyes have easier time following rounded corners than sharp corners as the result user interfaces are better when they are designed as rounded more attention means more revenue for many companies. It is also easier on your eye so I support this.

there was literally no reason for all of these, but maybe they arent going to change the UI anytime soon, since there isnt a reason for changing it rn. I dont like all of these personally, Concept 4 isnt my favourite out of all
Concept 1: Nice, Simple, Clean. Changes just enough to make it fresh while not making a major redesign
Concept 2: Besides the slight mobile discord PTSD of when an unfinished ui change was forced its really really nice. It matches the mobile theme and styling and would love for Discord to roll this out as the new Desktop app.
Concept 3: Has anything changed from concept 2? Really cool, should be added as a skin option
Concept 4: It looks really fancy, I love the way it indicates which server you are currently in, I like the way it handles server invites but that's where the good ends for me.
I have spent a good 10minutes looking for the notifications box, A feature I use quite a lot that has either been removed or burred under a number of sub menus on the mobile app. I already hate the fact i cannot check notifications on my phone, it would be mayhem if that got removed from desktop too.
Not to mention the fact that your chat messages have been moved and reactions are a mess.
Just no, please no.
Good thing is that all of concept 4's issues are pretty easy to fix so I have hope that it can be expanded and improved
I'm 100% aware this would be more of a nuisance than anything and only apply to a small amount of users, but that thing with client-end messages appearing on the right will probably just make tupperbox/pluralkit users confuse everyone else even more since in screenshots, it won't look like their proxied messages are their own. it already gets annoying explaining I'm not a bot over and over
I hate rounded corners, I overdosed on them.
@AUTTP_PoliceCritter-j7s you literally replied, adding to the problem lmfao
@@MobExe he is the bot lol

@@morale39 the guy i replied to isnt the same guy lol
Facts. Ended up applying a userstyle to youtube that removes all rounded corners from all elements (I mean all of them, even the loading spinner)
I really hope they don’t do unnecessary big changes to UI again. It’s fine right now.
@UTTPasdfghjklSo I can't talk about literally anything related to science but this is completely fine? Wow. Great filters, TH-cam. (Also just ignore and report, I've done the wrong thing here by giving them attention.)
to be fair the ui never bothered with me
@@AquaQuokkaits reversed look at the read more button so it bypasses the filter
the mobile ui where every button was on the bottom and you didn't have to scroll to the top of serverlist and click the top left corner to go to dms was so much better than what was before and now.
yeah, concept 4 looks cool but it's too big of a change
Concept 1 is current Discord but slightly different for no reason
Concept 2 is Mobile on desktop and *kinda* acceptable, although still not needed
Concept 3 should be a toggleable option for Concept 2, as they look almost identical other than the transparancy
Concept 4 looks awful IMO and I hope they don't do that. Discord is one window, I don't need 47 layers of drop shadows and fake windows in the main window.
I totaly agree, Idk what NTTS is going on about rating Concept 4 a 10/10. Maybe rated on how much was changed, moved or removed. Could you spot the notification box on concept 4?
concept 4 looks like fl studio with those fake windows
I like concept 4 tbh
nah i like concept 4
@@The_Kitty_Games I too liked it at first. It just lost me when it started removing buttons leaving me confused as to where features I use on a daily basis are gonna get put when I still have found the features they moved in the mobile app.
Im convinced that inbox was straight removed at this point.
But it’s probably the most controversial. It looks really nice

Or he just likes it. Your opinion isn't objective
6:25 HEY!!! im not a femboy!!! I just joined discord as a boy... and now I wear skirts... and have boobs...
Meh. I use desktop apps on a desktop. It's already bad enough a lot of websites are making their sites with mobile only in mind. Why the hell do I want that for discord?
With every single redesign, they not only increase the size of the elements, but they also destroy performance. I fucking hate it.
Discord really needs to focus more on security / privacy features like end-to-end encryption of DM's... It has gotten itself so big that most people I know use it to message instead of other methods... and complain if Discord isn't used... which means they also send stuff they shouldn't across discord (you know, PII). It is irresponsible of discord not to add some sort of end-to-end encryption of DM's with it's massive adoption at this point. E2E encryption of video, voice, 2FA authentication... just... better privacy is needed.
Have you not watched the previous video? E2EE would mean making it easier for to get away with whatever illegal stuff they're doing.
end to end encryption is pointless because they can just change the frontend code to stop encrypting stuff at any point, if you want security you shouldn't be using software that auto updates
Did you not see the video on end to end on voice? He said they probably wont ever add it because of things like illegal stuff and if they do add it, they might still be bale to look and just lie. Just watch the other video
if dm’s are encrypted predators will get the time of their lives
they will never add end-to-end encryption to DM's due to legal reasons
The white liquid transition while mentioning glazing was... an interesting choice.
CONCEPT 4 WAS COOKING BUT NO ONE WAS HUNGRY 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
It looks awful
looks like a fun custom theme for Vencord. not my cup of tea. def shouldnt be the new discord UI vy default, but people who like it could opt in to it

it looks absolutely terrible
yeah bcos when you cook with what you find in the dumpster, no one wants to eat ur garbage!

@Blue-qr4fi No one asked if you play genshin, shut up
Bro the 4th one looks so cool
I really like the 10/10 design you showed!
I've already had the activity tab for about a week now. it's alright, not really necessary but not bad. I have mixed feeling on how it shows games your friends recently played so if they played multiple games it will make tabs for all of the games they played that day
I quite like the idea of a transparent background, but how would it work on the web page. I was thinking that it would show your wallpaper of your pc for the app, but i guess it just couldnt be possible on the web. Who knows though 🤷
Totally agree with you on the ui redesign concepts, but I do like the randomness of reactions I feel like it just looks cooler and there's probably a way to see them easily in a box the same way you can see who has reacted.
that bookmark page is pretty good if you have alot of spreadsheets or framedata for multiple games and you had to scroll or search alot
I know there's pinned messages but bookmarking from several server and viewing it in one single tab is real nice touch
Concept 4 looks nuts, can't wait for a vencord theme of it.
Discord is adding so many things that it’s going to fill up your screen
imo adding rounding corners feels forced and unnecessary
I agree, idk why every single design just has rounded corners

Well, shucks, I just got used to discord's UI. (I was previously on mobile, now on desktop, so I had to adjust again.)
heck yea, joined NTTS discord server 5 minutes ago and got announcement pinged for a new video! (not a payed advertisement I swear)

@AUTTPISINFACTLAW-fs1cl done
The little kiss, he gives us at the end of each video, makes my day just a little bit better. 😂
For the longest time, I was actually dreaming for discord to add a feature like bookmarks and they might actually add it baby
Honestly, i'd say that concept 4 looks much more closer to Telegram than Microsoft's desing...also...VOICE MESSAGES ON PC, WHEN, Discord? -_-
It's something that already exists within Vencord, but not as a native feature. Sorry to burst your bubble.

@@lightechoesis change really all that scary? A pursuit of improving your app is never a bad thing
@@lollygagger1I don’t see how any of these UI redesigns are improving discord. The activity tab adds clutter, and the fourth’s reactions are a mess.
@@JeeliBeelii I agree on the reaction part, but it's like, you know these will change right? Like this is the concept design so they can improve based on user feedback. Too much clutter? Fix that. Horrible reactions? Fix that. All I'm saying is that one or two issues that are fixable isn't the end of the world because the design can be changed.
@@lollygagger1 Ah yes, nice gaslighting. Those "concepts" are all horrible. Now what? You will now accuse me that "I feel those scary" and spit out bunch of excuses to glorify and justify those nasty changes like "oH nO tHiNgS cAn ChAnGe!!11!!!1!!!!"?
i think i like your personal opinion on the reactions since it’s easier to see what people are thinking about a message but overall idc enough!
Never thought about how Discord's UI revamp could happen. Really intrigued by the message bookmark feature.
New permission: Pin message to the bottom (or top) of the message space.
Very useful for people who ignore regular pins - and there are other uses.
yeah and you should be able to dissmiss or close them bc that could become very annoying very quickly
@@b-wavee Oh yes. The ability to click to collapse into a line (either or both ways) would definitely be a must for such a pin - especially on smaller message area plots as with on mobile devices and the like. Thank you for weighing in!
honestly, the moment any of these roll out i'm going to see if i can get a vencord theme that adds the current discord theme back, since i prefer the current look of it, these new ones have too many rounded corners and im nearly overdosing on those just by using windows 11 (which i also hate but all my data is on here so i cant just nuke it and restart with a diff os)
You do a quest to gain a decoration for a whole 2 months! Goddamn!
Woukd be interesting to see how design 3 would look in a browser or in third-party clients…
I want a glossy skeuomorphic theme for every app with the possibility of custom themes.

i think concept 4 looks awful. if i wanted discord to feel like the other messaging apps, i would just use the other messaging apps.
If the 4th design option is accepted, I will either use themes to go back to the old design, or just leave Discord.
agreed. i always liked the simplified design of discord
can't wait for people to make discord themes for these concepts so we can use them early
the highlighted emojis were super reactions in the first concept ☝️🤓
the transparency thing should be an option TBH
100% support the left and right messages change
2:18 I'd like to say I have used a computer with a Core 2 Duo T7200, and no dedicated GPU, it can run blurred windows perfectly fine with 0 lag. Moving them is perfectly fine as well. Also an iPhone 4 can blur stuff live fairly smoothly, doubt that this will affect performance.
7:30 I am actually excited for the bookmark feature.
I am an active modder and having the ability to bookmark a message where something I tripped over is explained and I might want to reference it again in the future would be amazing.
Currently, it often just gets lost in the endless stream of messages and the I have to search again and sift through the findings to find what I'm looking for.
1:16 the minimize/maximize button you silly, Thats not round i dont know how you missed that
I would honestly love the 4th concept with a optional transparency toggle in settings.
Because, I just love transparency. It's fucking beautiful to have my wallpaper EVERYWHERE.
Transparency is the best ngl
I just need transparency back from the Windows 7 days fr 😭
discord just installed betterdiscord and are realizing how people make their design better
Concept 2 is FIIIIIIIIIIIIRE
1st concept is the same as current just with activity
2nd concept is adapting to mobile's design language and is honestly pretty nice imo
3rd concept could just be a feature for the second concept
4th concept UGGHHH

Your 10/10 rated concept is more like an 8/10 for me. It's waaaay too bubbly. Add a few more sharp edges and it'll look much better.

new concept of quadruple responsiveness destruction!
Honestly of you will be able to like drag the chat window out of discord and put it somewhere on top of game you are playing on the concept 4 it would be GREAT imo, since you can't really size down normal discord and it goes away once you click on the game you are playing
LOL at 9:52 had me dying, because i did in fact zone out for the last 30 seconds.
4:22 this would prevent talking via reactions which is amazing for most servers since on announcements if they dont turn off reactions you would get stuff like the n word with reactions, but the nsfw emojis still exist so that doesnt prevent that
Yup, that would help.
@@apple_ilev5s I would much perfer the reactions to not be haphazardly placed but I do agree something might need to be done about that.
This is an issue only idiots have. Most servers are smart and disable adding reactions, and set 1 or 2 reactions for people just to prevent this.
Also I’ve never seen people react with slurs on announcements so if you’re somehow seeing it often enough to be a problem, that means you’re likely in toxic communities.
With the last UI, it looks like the activities isn't actually collapsible. It seems to me that it shows three activities then the arrow is to show more (lists activities - 4 but only displays 3)
first impressions of the four concepts:
1. i like it, subtle but clean (i like the compact designs we get periods)
2. i genuinely hate this, who let John Discord cook? I don't want all these bloated rounded buttons everywhere
3. i like it, fits with my existing desktop design
4. why? i dont want another lame social media reskin. the only part i liked about this was the join message fitting in as an ordinary message
the happening tab is basically summaries but for mobile, a menu where you see all AI summaries in all servers you're in
the last concept looks cool as a concept but aint usable at all

I really appreciate Discord for giving us options and a high degree of customizability. Being able to turn things off and extensively change the app for yourself is excellent, and why I really like Bluesky, which gives you the ability to create entirely customized feeds. As long as you get to choose the app's theme, as opposed to no option at all, I'm happy.
Transparency, with the blur, will definitely be a computer killer
