<h1>Rebane's Discord <span style="color:#5865F2">Colored</span> Text Generator</h1>
<div class="container">
<h3>About</h3>
<p>This is a simple app that creates colored Discord messages using the ANSI color codes available on the latest Discord desktop versions.</p>
<p>To use this, write your text, select parts of it and assign colors to them, then copy it using the button below, and send in a Discord message.</p>
<h3>Source Code</h3>
<p>This app runs entirely in your browser and the source code is freely available on <a href="https://gist.github.com/rebane2001/07f2d8e80df053c70a1576d27eabe97c">GitHub</a>.

I do not want to accuse anyone of stealing, but I have found a repo with the same webpage. Just wanted to let you know: https://github.com/crossface001/discord-colored-text-generator

I was pushed 1 day after this gist was created.

I know it is very, very likely, but I don't think I am in the position of actually accusing someone (the two people might know each other and worked on the project together). But it is very suspicious indeed.

@rebane2001 you will probably be able to file a takedown request for https://github.com/crossface001/discord-colored-text-generator/commit/d4435839b9c89e41a9c2d1d0379485355420aa5d here: https://support.github.com/contact/report-abuse?category=report-abuse&report=other&report_type=unspecified

While I don't like that @crossface001 just took my code and only changed the name without leaving credit, I stand by the license (The Unlicense) I apply to my code, which means I will not issue a takedown or anything of that sort. This code is free for anyone to use however they please (and while I do appreciate crediting where appropriate, it is not required).

Discord mobile doesn't support that yet, neither Android or iOS

This would be a great API, if anyone can make that it would be nice. Amazing work!

Would it be possible to allow stacking backgrounds and foregrounds?

You already can, make sure you're only selecting text inside or outside a different formatting, not from inside to out.

No?
What's your discord client version (+ mobile etc?)

@Rajdave69

No? What's your discord client version (+ mobile etc?)

My bad, was using VenCord and it has a plugin to revamp codeblocks. That was the cause to me not being able to see it. Colors still work.

@QEStudios
Copy link

Could you add a tooltip to the colour buttons that shows the name of that colour? It'd make this much easier for colourblind people to use, myself included.

@rebane2001

@QEStudios Great idea, some of these colors are pretty ambiguous on some screens anyways. Added the tooltips, hope it helps!

I don't know if they changed it after the above comment was made, but SpicyDevs' page now— at least —shows "based on" and links back to @rebane2001. That's credit where credit's due, right?

PS - I absolutely love this generator. Thanks, @rebane2001 <3!

this is such a great website! I am working on a discord bot that can change text colors, and this is where I learned about ANSI escape codes. Thank you, this is awesome!
