you can write messages in play-script style

each line is considered it's own "message"

by default, messages are collapsed together, and the avatar + username only shows up once

Aaron Today at 4:13 PM

however, the @ symbol, when used by itself on a newline, will break up a sequence of messages and force the avatar + username to display again.

Aaron Tomorrow at 6:12 AM

you can also use the @ symbol to set the timestamp of the message. This will also make the avatar + username show up again.

the timestamp text is freeform--feel free to write any time you like.

Also, other people can be mixed into the chat log seemlessly.

Finally, if you have a multi-line message
(That is to say, a single message that itself contains newlines),
you can simply write those out on their own line, with the "USERNAME:" header at the start.
Note that multi-line messages are rendered slightly closer together than seperate messages.

For example

these are farther apart

since these are seperate messages

While these lines
are closer together
since they're in the same message.

oh yeah! you can also use normal markdown like you do in discord and it should hopefully just work

(Right now, Discord-style underlines don't quite work yet, but you can use normal HTML tags instead.)
