"Discord Introduces Embedded Games and Rewards, Plans IPO"
Discord is opening up its chat app to developers by introducing an Embedded App SDK, allowing them to build new games and apps that can be used directly within Discord. This move will enable a wider range of minigames and apps to be played directly inside Discord chats, with the platform also experimenting with a feature that allows users to add apps to their accounts so they can roam across servers. Additionally, Discord is bringing back its app pitches, where developers can pitch prototype app ideas and secure funding, as part of its efforts to improve user growth and developer experiences.
