The chat app.
Discord supports relative timestamps (i.e. "in 10 minutes"), that update live within the message you use them in.
The format is <t:1543392060:R> where the number is a valid Unix time.
You can generate these easily with a tool, such as this one:
https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/
Discord also supports other timestamps, which are a little but less useful:
| Style | Input | Output (12-hour clock) | Output (24-hour clock) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Default | <t:1543392060> |
November 28, 2018 9:01 AM | 28 November 2018 09:01 |
| Short Time | <t:1543392060:t> |
9:01 AM | 09:01 |
| Long Time | <t:1543392060:T> |
9:01:00 AM | 09:01:00 |

The most useful of these is the Relative timeestamp, as seen above, and can be generated using this tool:
Rather than manually wrapping an entire message with ||, you can just use /spoiler. The fastest way is to just type /sp and hit TAB to auto-complete.
Ctr-Shift-A will collapse all the channel categories on the current server.
Alt-Clicking on a message will set it unread.
If you type a sed-style substitution command, such as s/foo/bar, which woud replace all instances of foo with bar, you will actually perform the action on the last message you sent.
This is an implementation of an old informal convention used back in the day on IRC to indicate a correction of a typo, because IRC had no editing of messages.
