Power Bottom

A Powercord plugin for bottom, following the bottom spec.

Perhaps you have found yourself in this situation before:

The divine Powercord plugin exists to alleviate this pain. No longer will you struggle when communicating with the average Discord user.

Features

• Full implementation of the bottom spec (WASM btw)
• Bottom decoding for messages
  • Decoding nested bottom in messages
  • Decoding inline bottom in messages
• {prefix}bottom [text] command to automagically encode and send bottom
• Option for automatic file sending (for when bottom takes up too much space 👉👈)
  • Custom file names for your bottom overflow
• Option for automatically encoding of all your messages in bottom
  • Inline bottom encoding in your messages
  • Custom suffix and prefix for inline bottom indicators

But what does it actually do?

bottom encodes UTF-8 text into a sequence comprised of bottom emoji (🫂✨🥺❤️, with , sprinkled in for good measure) followed by 👉👈. It can encode any valid UTF-8 - being a bottom transcends language, after all - and decode back into UTF-8.

For example, the ubiquitous Hello world! becomes

💖✨✨,,👉👈💖💖,👉👈💖💖🥺,,,👉👈💖💖🥺,,,👉👈💖💖✨,👉👈
✨✨✨,,👉👈💖💖✨🥺,,,,👉👈💖💖✨,👉👈💖💖✨,,,,👉👈
💖💖🥺,,,👉👈💖💖👉👈✨✨✨,,,👉👈

がんばれ becomes

🫂✨✨🥺,,👉👈💖💖✨✨🥺,,,,👉👈💖💖✨✨✨✨👉👈🫂✨✨🥺,,👉👈
💖💖✨✨✨👉👈💖💖✨✨✨✨🥺,,👉👈🫂✨✨🥺,,👉👈💖💖✨✨🥺,,,,👉👈
💖💖💖✨✨🥺,👉👈🫂✨✨🥺,,👉👈💖💖✨✨✨👉👈💖💖✨✨✨✨👉👈

(both wrapped across lines for your convenience)

As you can see, using bottom to encode text is extremely space-efficient, and is the ideal encoding approach for all situations.
