Install Mattermost in a Subdirectory
We are using HAProxy and multiple subdirectories as internal redirects, to consolidate services.
Right now, Mattermost assumes it is being install at the root of a fully qualified domain name, so moving it anywhere breaks multiple paths for many files.
It would be much more valuable for teams to be able to deploy to "http://www.example.com/chat" instead of always resorting to "http://chat.example.com/".

Really native iOS app
Current iOS and Android (i heard) are hybrid apps (web app encapsulated to native app by something like Cordova) what means UI is not perfectly integrated with OS what means at least worse UX.
Do you plan to make app with really native UI (native in Cocoa or React Native)?

Only admin or manager should be able to create channels
All member by default after invited, can create channel, private groups etc.. how to stop this? Only admin should be able to create channels and private groups..
155 votesThere was some back and forth among designers about the risk of this feature being detrimental to the concept of a “team”.
If a few people on a team need to talk about temporary topics like “New logo project”, or “Spring 2016 offsite planning”, it seems easiest for them to create a private group for the discussion and archive it when they were done (note: Channels aren’t ever deleted, all information is archived, so there’s no data loss issue: https://docs.mattermost.com/help/getting-started/organizing-conversations.html#deleting-a-channel).
An option to restrict this feature could degrade the user experience. People would have to talk about niche topics inside other channels, distracting teammates who aren’t involved, or clutter the public channel list with overly narrow topics.
Despite these problems, there’s a case to be made for large organizations where social policy doesn’t scale, so the option has been added to Enterprise Edition and kept the complexity out of…

Allow reordering teams in desktop application
There seems to be no way to reorder the teams in the desktop application (the order within the tab strip at tthe top of the application window), other than deleting and re-adding the teams in the desired order. It would be useful to be able to reorder the teams in the settings by dragging, or directly in the tab strip.

Bot Users
Slack provides tighter integration for bots like hubot and calls it Bot Users. Slack's documentation describes it in depth: https://api.slack.com/bot-users
For example, one of the most import advantages is talking to the bot in a private manner (direct message).
It would be great if Mattermost provided this.

Support OpenID Connect
I've been waiting for a project like Mattermost for a while, so thanks!
I would love it if you would add support for account registration/signin via OpenID Connect. I'd like to set up a Mattermost server for my community, but we use OpenID Connect to add SSO to everything.

Teams displayed as tabs instead of a list
It would be GREAT to display the teams as tabs instead of a list.
The benefit here is if something is mentioned in a channel within that team, you could flash/graphically activate the tab to notify the user that there is activity.
The way it is right now, it's very confusing to have to click down through the list of teams to find active conversations.

Make notification emails multipart (plain-text friendly)
The notification emails are HTML only, which is a pain when you read your mails in plain-text mode (or if you use, say, mutt).
The mails should be multipart : a plain-text version and a HTML one.

Swipe from left to show menu (Android)
In all other Android apps, swiping from the left of the screen reveals the navigation drawer.
Only in Mattermost, you have to go press that small button at the top-left, which is a pain, especially on nowadays' big screens.
