feature request

_Is it a private platform specific feature? (i.e. would it break your NDA?)<br> … Then please add your feature request in the corresponding extension repository!_ Yes, but the extension doesn't exist yet. This is a request to support an additional platform. **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe (REQUIRED):** Discord has a new platform for playing HTML games on, launched and hosted directly within their app. Native monetization support is coming soon. This looks like a good platform to support for HTML game developers using Defold. Link for more information can be found here: https://discord.com/build/embedded-app-sdk **Describe the solution you'd like (REQUIRED):** I would like an official Defold extension created to support this. **Describe alternatives you've considered (REQUIRED):** I've considered making the extension myself, but I'm not in urgent need of it, and have no experience making plugins. This is more to bring the platform to the Defold community's attention, and begin a discussion on whether or not it would be something worth supporting. **Additional context (OPTIONAL):** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. N/A

More information about Discord’s new platform can be found here:

I don’t need this one urgently myself, and I doubt I have the necessary skills to develop the extension myself yet, but it is something I would like to consider supporting my hobby project. I wanted to bring this to the attention of the Defold community and dev team to see if I’m alone in thinking this would be a great platform to support, or if others would find value in it as well.

Cheers!

I would also like to see support for this in Defold. I think there was someone on our Discord who started looking into this.
