Chatterino2: Client Side "Rendering" of sent messages by default
What should be added?
Sent messages should directly show up in chat like they do in webchat by default. This then should be an option you can turn off.
Why should it be added?
A lot of new users get frustrated with chatterino because they feel like their messages don't get sent and blame it on chatterino being buggy and whatnot.
We should just render messages directly when sent similar to webchat so Users no longer get annoyed their messages aren't being sent and blame chatterino for it.
For the advanced users the option to disable this feature should be there.

Challenges I see for this feature:
We need to make sure we parse messages similar to how Twitch's TMI does (e.g. emotes and badges)
This means we need to keep and up-to-date list of the users available emotes and badges

I'd rather have something like a message that sends "You're message might not have been sent" after x amount of seconds after sending the message.

@apa420 Which would then just result in users thinking chatterino is at fault because in webchat their message always gets sent...

What about: "Your message might not have been sent. You're probably shadowbanned by twitch or twitch is having issues"

No I don't like it. Twitch isn't having issues, it just filters your message because they priotize others over yours and users will just question why Twitch is always having issues according to Chatterino but not in webchat.

How about on first start up showing users a message that tells them that Chatterino shows them what others see unlike webchat?

And then if messages fail to send with truthful messages about what actually happens - people will still blame chatterino. The simpler we make it to matching webchat's format, the less complaints we will have about "chatterino having issues". The key with basic users is to not over-complicate it. If we keep it simple, it'll just workâ„¢
