  1. make /commands referencable in post-text.

    There are interactive message buttons, but they dont flow neatly in the text. It should be possible to write a longer post, and reference commands and parameters in the text.
    Once the post is posted, they become clickable by everyone which would in some way ask for confirmation or just pre-fill the text-input-area and allow the users to execute said command.

    That way one could not even better educate users of (custom) commands, but could also help them prefill the arguments of commands.

    Example: I could write:

    hello there, it seems, like you want to use /command asdf for asdf…

  2. Allow a user list in the right-hand side bar

    The right hand sidebar for the Mattermost client seems to only support searching. Many chat-apps like Slack, Discord, and others include a list of users in the current channel in a sidebar that can be displayed at all times. I think this would be a great feature!

  3. Allow user registration in mobile app

    With 2021 and all the discussions on online privacy and their violations thereof by the big corporations going on, Mattermost has become all the more important.

    It is disheartening to see that the mobile app still does not have the ability to register users.

  4. Add posibility to share a file to many users or groups

    In this moment, if I want to share the same file to many users or groups, I need to repeat share operation for every user or group. It would be great if you can add a intermediary screen for destination selection (like whatsapp), with multiple option for selection

  5. Implement alt text/image captions

    Please implement an option for users to embed screen reader-compatible descriptive captions in images they upload for accessibility purposes. While I recognize this can be done simply by posting the caption text alongside this image, this can be cumbersome if the description is very long (e.g., a screenshot that contains lots of text). Something similar to what Twitter and Instagram have implemented in their UI for alt text (minus the character limit) may be ideal.

  6. Get alerted when the status of another user changes

    I would like to get alerted when another user comes online.

    In the proprietary messaging application that is also used in our organization, this feature is available as a right-click menu item labeled "Tag for Status Change Alerts", i.e. you can switch on/off alerts per user. I have always found it very useful so it would be a nice addition to Mattermost.

  7. Enable Notifications when Mattermost is not Visible to the User

    If a chat is selected when the desktop app is not visible or minimized, the user will not receive notifications for any new messages sent within the chat.

    For example, If I am talking to Bob, then I shrink the desktop app with his name still selected in the left hand pane, or I open a new window and cannot see the Mattermost app, it wont notify me of a new message from Bob unless I make sure to click on a different chat window with someone else prior to moving my attention away from Mattermost.

    I understand we wouldnt…

  9. Add option to turn off default custom emojis

    The title says it all: i.e. get rid of "the Doom guy" and other icons there. This option can go on the Emojis page in the System Console. An alternative implementation would be to list them in the custom emoji list and allow them to be individually deleted there.

  10. Run mattermost-mobile in webapp contexts and therefore allow other platforms than ios and android

    I recently started using a Volla Phone with the operation system Ubuntu Touch and would like to use mattermost-mobile. As the app has been developed using react-native, I think the easiest way to support more platforms would be to also support react-native-web. This would allow to start mattermost-mobile in a browser and/or in web app contexts of other platforms than ios and android.

  11. Easier method for allowing admins to include custom themes

    Currently deploying a Mattermost instance with custom themes (for instance, company-branded colours) requires manually patching https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp.

    Admins should be able to deploy Mattermost and specify custom themes in place of the existing ones (or an addition to the existing ones) without having to patch mattermost-webapp. This could be done in a number of ways (e.g. configuration or being stored in the database), but should persist across version upgrades.

    Additionally it would be ideal if admins could specify the default theme for users, as well as having full control over the list of themes available.

    I've created https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/16658 in reference…

  12. Allow users to be set to disallow direct messages

    At the moment, you can configure users to be allowed to send direct messages either to other members of the team or to anyone on the server.

    I'd like to make it so that normal users cannot start direct messages at all.

    My particular usecase may be a little out of the sweet spot - I have created a mattermost for my children (quite young) who I want to be able to chat with while they are doing their home learning, but don't want them using public chat systems. I am happy for them to interact with each other in…

  13. add no reply warning in email template

    Hi team and thank you for your work.
    We are an organization that runs a Mattermost Team Edition instance which is used by near 6.000 users.
    Sometimes, we have users replying directly to email notifications sent by Mattermost. These replies get back to us, and we do not have time to forward it nor to warn the senders that their messages didn't reach the right people.

    Would that be possible to change email template by adding something like (with french translation, it would be awesome though!):
    "Do not reply directly to this email, otherwise people will not get your message"

    If company ACME has 20 members with 30 channels (mix of private and public), is it possible for them to invite some members from company CERTBOT to a single private channel (i.e. CERTBOT members do not add the General chat or have access to any other channels other than the channel they have specifically been added to)

  18. Android back button navigate through Mattermost app window history

    I suggest that the back button should work more similar to other chat applications on the mobile platform. At the moment pressing the back button (or gesture) prompts for confirmation to close the application.
    It feels more natural to go back to the previous channel, direct message, etc.

    For example:

    I receive a direct message notification and I click on it. I am taken to the direct message. I then activate the drawer and move to another channel. To get back to the prevoius direct message or channel it would be handy to just press the back key.

    Similarly I…
