I really like idea of having application running by just http webhook. The thing is that most people (& 3rd tools) are used to see bots as regular users so they are listed on member list from right side of Discord app. We received a moment ago ability to achieve this by using both
application.commands
&bot
scopes.There's only 1 problem with this...
Currently - app added this way is either infinitely "online" or "offline" based on its state in moment when it got added to the guild. Discord Applications are already pinged from time to time so I though - what if Discord would use their pinging mechanism not only to determine if url endpoint is still valid but also to make app popup online/offline. It doesn't have to be as common as via gateway - even single check every hour would be enough.
Optionally - Instead giving apps statuses (because Discord seems to not like this idea), how about making just a tiny notification while typing /slash command from this app, for example it would say "This app is currently offline" under the command description. Or maybe make app avatar turn gray... Something like that.
