Threads: Proposal for additional usability and readability Option
Dear Team,
thanks for the awesome Mattermost App!I love threads, and i would like to suggest an additional usability and readability option:
Background (or "what drives me mad"):
Everybody knows the flow of conversations, they have the tendency to get unstructurized and important threads of messages get "buried" below new incoming messages in the parent channel.
Also People sometimes dont answer in threads, either they dont want to use threads, or they accidently answer in the parent channel.
This makes things more than often confusing to follow..My Proposal to implement just some options:
How it works Now:

Add native possibility to subscribe to rss feeds in a specific channel
We received a feature request from our users: they'd like to be able to subscribe to one or more rss feeds natively (not with the rss feed plugin which no longer seems to be developed further). News on one of this feeds should be written to a selected channel including a notification for the new message(s).

Put a timer on Banners
We use time-sensitive banners to inform users of ongoing events. If we don't manually disable them, they will run past the event. Could we put an end time on banners, the way that there are end times on statuses?

Add quote reply in addition to collapsed threads
Currently, in order to reply to someone a few messages back, you hit the reply button and it goes into a thread. Alternatively, Mattermost could add a quote button on messages next to the reply button. When you click quote button it should work like reply in modern messengers with text of the message or part of it and name of the creator of the message.
Threads are useful, but creating them for replying to paticular messages can be a bit of an overkill.62 votesLabel and status updated.

Add options for date format display: eg "Monday June 10" instead of "June 10" as headline in channels
Make channels more scannable when catching up on large backlog of messages -- it would be easier to quickly understand if messages are grouped under on a channel included date name as well as month name and date numeral. So create options for format of date displayed within channels. Specifically to include day name.

Close dms directly when clicking to another area (settings opt-in)
Other messenger services offer a user setting where you can hide direct message instances from the left sidebar once you have clicked into it and then clicked to another dm or channel. It would appear again if the person sent you a new message. You can bypass this by pinning or favoriting that user so they always stay in the DM list.
I prefer this system so that the DM area acts as an 'inbox' only, where I can glance and see things that need my attention. Having 10-40 inactive entries is just clutter, esp. on smaller device screen heights…

Add markdown support to attachment.footer
Currently markdown supported on post.text and attachment.text. I suggest to add support markdown to attachment.footer. It would be useful for migration from slack, where some bots and serivces use attachment.footer for adding navigation URL. For example, Grafana alert manager.

Increase notification sound length for sound over HDMI speakers
All notification sounds are too short. On my PC I use sound over HDMI to my monitor speakers. It takes about a second to establish the connection. In that time the sound is already played. If I listen very carefully, I only hear some noise for about a second or two before the sound connection is closed again. But some hardly to hear noise doesn't draw my attention.
This might also be a problem with sound over Bluetooth?2 votes -
Give users a choice between Message Bubble and Message Lines (Current) like Element gives
In Element, they have option to choose how messages are being displayed.
- Message Bubble
- Message without Bubble (They call it Modern)
Not everyone is a fan of Modern Design, especially legacy people.

Introduce a **Check Later Box** for improved async communication
A lot of times people want to drop a message to someone who don't need to check it immediately.
Examples
- Check these PRs when you have time
- Review this doc please
- Hey! I wanted to talk about the deployment process when you have time.
- Hey check this new video out on how TypeScript was created
etc.These are in general low priority items.
With todos and reminders, it's me doing the hard work of adding things to a todo list that I should check later. The current DM doesn't work because if something urgent comes up…

Bigger writing screen for the mobile app
Dear Mattermost team
In the mobile app when answering to a message, the reply writing screen is only 3 lines wide … whereas received message takes all the screen.
Why this choice ?
Do we need in priority to read constantly the received message or to be very focused on our reply ?Let’s make the reply writing screen full screen for the confort of writing.
Thanks
Arno

Retrieve Private Channels in Team through API as Team Admin
If you've found the following limitation through the API where Private Channels in a given Team cannot be listed by a Team Admin due to access restrictions in the API
"Get Public Channels For Team" API endpoint currently requires permission listteamchannels in order to list Public Channels within a team.

Make text selectable in images
In macOS Monterey and later, you can select text in screenshots and other images in e.g. Preview.app. When people paste screenshots of user interfaces etc. on Mattermost, and I want to copy & paste some text from it, then I have to first right-click the image and select "Copy Image", then switch to Preview.app, paste the image there, and then select and copy, and switch back to Mattermost to paste the text. This requires more steps then necessary, and is not very discoverable, leading many to simply not know they can copy text from screenshots.
If one limits the feature…

Provide a "Mark read" choice in mobile push notifications
A "Mark read" choice in push notifications about new messages, as seen in many IM apps, would be handy in Mattermost Mobile too. Currently the message can only be marked read by tapping the message to open the app (which is slow).

Line numbers for code blocks
When in meetings (with slow internet speed where you cannot share your screen), it is difficult to refer to lines of code that are not numbered and discuss things. It'd be great if lines were numbered or at least there was an option to optionally enable such a feature or a separate "numbered codeblock" feature.

seen messages in direct message or channel
In Telegram you can see who read the message in channel.
I think it's good feature, because right now I gotta set reaction on message to let know user who mentioned me that I read it and he doesn't need to repeat it me in DM. also we want this on direct message
