Snooze your Discord messages to reply later.

Hey IndieHackers!

I run a couple of pretty active Discord servers and sometimes I want to reply but I'm busy doing something else or want to read through the chat (or a link) when I have more time. Other times I'm on mobile and want to reply at my computer.

On Slack I made HEAVY use of the built in reminders that basically let you "snooze" a message for later, and get a DM when that later time comes. Since switching to Discord, which has been amazing but is missing those reminders, I find myself forgetting about messages that I want to reply to...until it's embarrassingly late.

So I've been working on a Discord bot that lets me mark messages for later, and nudge myself with a reminder in my DMs!

It's already in beta and working great in my communities and a couple of others, but I know that there are other folks on IndieHackers who run active Discord communities and I'm looking for about a dozen more Discord admins who want a way to more easily stay on top of messages without the pressure to RESPOND NOW OR FORGET FOREVER.

You need to be an admin of a Discord server to add the bot, so if you run a server or can persuade your admin to let you try it, leave a comment with a little bit about your community and if it sounds like a good fit I'll add you to the beta list!

    Great idea. Discord is a good product but it's impossible to stay on top of things once you're in a few active servers.

    Awesome idea! Cannot believe Discord is hanging behind here in some of these features given the momentum it has right now. Great opportunity for makers!

    Not an admin anywhere but I think it's a great concept.

      Thanks for the support! Would love it if you shared this post with admin/mods of servers you love to see if they'd find it helpful 😄

    Hello! I'm a french community activist and, for one of my organization, I would like to have snooze messages. My organization is "La Clameur, Podcast Social Club" and we product podcasts for now voluntarily but we want to become a cooperative where everyone would be paid. Can you add me to the beta list? Thanks a lot and have a great day!

      Awesome! You can find the link to add the bot (and advanced installation instructions if you need them) here: https://disconap.super.site

      The support Discord is also linked on that page, and is very low traffic, in case you want to pop in and ask any questions.

      Enjoy!

    Hey, I have a pretty active Slack group with 5k people. Is this only for Discord?

    1. 1

      Yup, but like I said in my post Slack has something like this built in so you don't need it! :)

        This is awesome. The number one thing I hear from people who are working at SaaS businesses is that their Slack is blowing up everyday, all the time. They can even hear the Slack notification noise in their head when they go to sleep.

        Whats your plan for this bot? Is the goal to give it out to as many people as possible and improve their Slack experience? :)

          Again, it's not a slack bot, it's for Discord 😉

          Y'all crack me up.

            Reading comprehension, feel your pain lol
