Provide for multiple fonts
Recently the ability to choose fonts was removed. See https://forum.mattermost.org/t/removing-font-setting/3367. Now there is only one font, and it renders poorly for me (insufficient weight/contrast) on smaller high DPI displays. This makes the GUI very hard to use. Please provide a way to select among a set of fonts, or ideally specify my own.
Frankly the justification for removing the feature was weak. Let the user decide if the load time or other trade offs are worth the better rendering.

Support for nosql database
Considering the benefits of data analytics for such kind of apps, don't you think support for a nosql database would help. Also, if you want to scale it to a million users; will a rdbms solution support that?

calculator
In google search, when you prefix a search with "=", it automatically runs the search as a maths calculation. It would be great to have this in mattermost as well.
So if a message starts with a "=" and does not contain other text, it should be postfixed with the result of the calculation.1 vote -

Private message with authorized members only
Hi, (I am new to this forum but I have installed Mattermost in my organization)
Is it possible to add a new choice in the administrative console in the option “Allow users to open private message channels with” to request permission to create private messages with members who use the platform.
Currently, the configuration choices are:
All members of the team
Any user on the Mattermost server
and I would like to add :Only authorized members
To prevent all members from communicating privately without prior noticeIs it a good idea ?

I can search easily for a group name on iPhone, but there is not the same convenient matching feature on macOS.
I can search easily for a group name on iPhone, but there is not the same convenient matching feature on macOS. Also on iPhone, I see all unread messages at top of list, on macOS I have to scan the whole list to find unread messages. So the macOS client needs to catch up with the iPhone.

Restrict Direct Messages user list to the members of the currently viewed team
The DM user list can be very crowded. My suggestion is to restrict this user list to the members of the team that is currently selected in the Teams Sidebar, just like the way public channel list is implemented.
So the user list in the "Direct Messages" section will change when the user switches to a different team.

Modify a user via CLI
Would be nice to have the ability to update/modify a user via the CLI. Similarly to create user, you are able to set their name, email, etc. It would be nice to be able modify those details of an existing user via the CLI or even UI. I've found some user's end up entering their names all lower case or some don't even enter their details.

Delete an user's private conversations
In some cases we need to delete all private conversations from an old user but without deleting the user (so it doesn't break continuity in public conversations).
We use an SQL query:
SELECT DISTINCT Name FROM Channels INNER JOIN
(SELECT Id FROMUsersWHEREUsernameLIKE 'Foo')
sub ON Name LIKE concat('%', sub.Id, '%');
Then "platform channel delete" to delete the channels.But it would be much easier to have a CLI command that does this.

Android: fetch text in background for faster opening from notifications
We use Mattermost (self hosted) in a team of 30 people with about 20 channels.
On my medium performance phone (Xperia Z3) it can take quite a while (~20 seconds) from tapping a notification to showing the actual message, even in ok network conditions (WiFi or 3G+).
In the Desktop App, there's no such lags.I'd guess that by having the App run a background service which already fetches the text data for the channel triggering the notification could considerably speed up this use case.

Allow custom emojis to appear in default dimensions
Hey guys,
I really like the product, would be possible to display the custom emojis in their default size? Similar the way we post a picture with a direct link in a conversation. Would be nice to have not only the default emoji sizes (I'm aware of the possibility to use # to make the gifs and pictures smaller/bigger), but if we could add and save them in a larger state. Currently any meme which has writings on it can not be seen well, and we know that memes=life. Thank sin advance!

Simplify chatbot integration by enabling bots to run sandboxed, in-process on the server
Currently if I want any sort of 'bot' behavior, I need to:
- Get an API token (ask an admin for permission)
- Stand up a server or learn serverless
- Figure out deployments/monitoring/logging
To test my code, I need to expose my in-progress work to the internet so it can receive webhooks.
This is a substantial bar to clear, resulting in monolithic projects like Hubot with many plugins.
Organizations implementing this style of bot frequently have only a handful of people who know how to contribute to it.
An alternative would be to support 'Managed bots': custom code (language TBD; javascript (via…

Share pictures from the app
It would be nice if pressing and holding a picture for a few seconds in the chat window would let you share it to other apps. Right now in the React app pressing on a picture in a chat will make it light up a bit, but there's no prompt to do anything with the picture. Also it seems that there's no way to share pictures from within the app in general.
The only other OSS chat app I've found that allows this so far is rocket.chat (but only on their old Cordova app).

Make Mattermost recognize jira links to show issue information
One thing you need the whole time when really working with Mattermost is pasting links from other applications like Jira. Because there is no tight integration, either the other person has to open the link all the time or I have to copy the issue title besides the link.
The only way I could solve this party was with a slash command (because it works for every channel) (https://github.com/mattermost-jira-info/mattermost-jira-info)
But it would be nice to extend the link parser (link preview) to be able to connect it to other applications....51 votes
