This is a redstone idea by the way.
The idea is simple. A normal repeater has one single charge. That's how it's always been. However, what if we could have charged repeaters, that when given redstone blocks, it would increase the redstone output length by 1, increasing the distance between repeaters.
So, every time one taps upon the repeater, the output strength will change, meaning the redstone will reach 1 block further.
Upon first crafting said repeater, and placing it down, the charge would be 1 (charge lasts one block from the repeater) when putting a redstone signal through this charged repeater. Then, when clicking on the repeater, with a redstone block in hand, the redstone charge would increase to 2 (charge lasts two blocks) and so forth.
Therefore, after adding 14 blocks to the repeater, it would match to the normal redstone repeater level.
But wait. There's more! Continue adding redstone blocks to the repeater, and you would get a max output of more than the traditional repeater, meaning less repeaters and more redstone being used! This would continue to perhaps a max of a 30 block output. Less repeaters means more cobble for you to use, and all that spare redstone in your chest after a bit of diamond mining emptied too. This would also make huge machines easier to build, because you'll need less space for adding a repeater!
I guess I'm coming to the end of the character limit. Let me know what you think in the comments!
P.S This suggestion is for java and bedrock
