1. Use correct typographical symbols for all user-facing strings such as curly quotes for apostrophes (‘’) and quotes (“”)

   Use correct typographical symbols for all user-facing strings such as curly quotes for apostrophes (‘’) and quotes (“”).

   You should also avoid other typographical mistakes like n-dashes (–) and ellipsis (…) characters.

2. Slash commands progress indicator

   Mattermost should have a way of showing that a slash command was executed, and awaiting response. At the moment you have no way of knowing if your command was sent out or not until a potential response arrives. For slow services this is raither tedious as you begin doubting if the message was sent or not, and might end up sending it multiple times.

3. Prevent non-admin users to rename channels

   I'm aware of your business model and I'm fine with an advanced permissions system in the paid edition. I'm also aware that you carefully thought through the channel management for basic users (see https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1764) and think it's a good way of approaching things.

   But please, consider removing the ability for every one to rename channels. This is not useful, doesn't really make sense and more importantly leaves the ability for anyone to ruin a setup (prank or sabotage). It also gives a feeling of totally uncontrolled environment for these users.

   This small feature makes me question the entire usage of this awesome chat, which makes me really sad.

   Thank you.

4. Add ability to send permalinks via email/sms

   The ability to generate and copy permalinks is great, but it would be awesome if there was an ability to share that URL, so that standard iOS share sheets, or Android intents, could be used to send urls via Gmail, iMessage, etc. Would make it much easier to integrate into our workflow.

6. Android App: Support Gitlab double auth

   Actually having a mattermost instance connected to gitlab that use omniauth providers (in my case saml, github and google) is not compatible with the android client.

   As it's working on IOS, I suggest that you evolve the android client to make it compatible.

   From what I observe, the saml token is being truncated

7. send message later

   I'd find it realy useful to be able to send a message later at a given date and time (e.g. like Buffer).
   Often, I'd find some useful or interesting info I want to post to the team chat at off-hours, and the message could either be overlooked because the timestamp will be quite old during work hours, or I'd disturb team members who have hot keywords defined and get notified automatically.

8. Order DM and Members list by online indicator

   1. Member list (popup box) in the header
   2. Direct Messages list

   • If you can change order by in this lists to order first by online status, then second by name, then it could be more useful.

   The member list in the channel header now orders members by their online status and then by their name.

9. Autocomplete nickname with initial + Tab, and not only @initial + tab

   Autocompleting usernames on initial followed by <Tab> has become a widespread standard since IRC, and is available in all Mattermost alternatives (Slack, HipChat, etc.).

   Mattermost allows autocompleting usernames only when @ is used, but this serves a different purpose: linking usernames. Simple and straightforward autocompletion is still usefull in live conversations and the use of @ can be akward, or even difficult on some keyboard layouts. Simple autocompletion is actually missed by some users, and for instance I have a potential team member that refuses to join if he cannot use this basic feature he has been using for years. I miss it too, although not this extreme since I like Mattermost anyway.

   There is already a suggestion on this topic, but it was flagged as Completed one year and a half ago despite a comment from a moderator stating that the lack of autocompletion on simple usernames is a bug and should be fixed.

   Is there a temporary workaround I can use tu customize Mattermost's behaviour until this feature is added in a future version of Mattermost?

   Thanks.

10. Open channels and direct messages in different windows (Desktop apps)

    Right now we use Mattemost for communication about projects and Spark/Jabber/XMPP for direct messages. The reason we prefer Spark over Mattermost is that we can have each communication in a different app window and that makes it easier if you communicate with more people at once. Typical use case is that you send a question to your colleague and keep the window open until you get the answer.

11. Allow Mattermost Zapier app posts to contain PDF attachments

    Currently Mattermost doesn't support file attachments in Zapier posts, This can be useful when using the Zapier app to generate automated posts containing PDF files.

    This feature is also supported by HipChat and Slack, so it would be nice to see Mattermost support it as well.

12. Access Control List for Web Interface & Mobile App

    We are a .org wishing to implement Mattermost.

    We would like only a specific group of "internal" users to be allowed to access the server from outside the firewall. In addition, we would also like a specific group of external clients to be able to access the server through the mobile app.

    I understand one method is to use a VPN. However, an additional app to put on someone's device may be a burden.

    The Novell/Micro Focus Product Webaccess has a feature that allows the admin to specify users via an .xml file.

    A snippet:

    "Controlling WebAccess Usage:

    You can control which users can use WebAccess to access their GroupWise mailboxes. By default, all GroupWise users can use WebAccess.

    You can control access based on the domain or post office where the user’s mailbox is located. You can control access for related users based on groups, and you can control access for individual users.

    Access control is established through the gwac.xml file, located in the same folder with the webacc.cfg file.

    The default gwac.xml file illustrates the following options:

    <!-- To allow access to all EXCEPT a few, use this technique. -->
    <!--
    <gwac access="prevent">
    <domain name="domain1" />
    <postOffice name="po2.domain2" />
    <user name="jdoe.po3.domain3" />
    <distributionList name="helpdesk.po4.domain4" />
    <resource name="confroom.po4.domain4" />
    </gwac>
    -->

    <!-- To prevent access to all EXCEPT a few, use this technique -->
    <!--
    <gwac access="allow">
    <domain name="domain1" />
    <postOffice name="po2.domain2" />
    <user name="jdoe.po3.domain3" />
    <distributionList name="helpdesk.po4.domain4" />
    <resource name="confroom.po4.domain4" />
    </gwac>
    -->
    You can use any ASCII text editor that you prefer to edit the gwac.xml file.

    Open the gwac.xml file in a text editor.

    Typically, you use the gwac.xml file to override the default of allowing all users to use WebAccess.

    Remove the comment marker lines (<!-- and -->) around the section that you want to use.

    (Optional) Under the <gwac access="prevent"> line, create one or more lines to prevent users in one or more domains from using WebAccess, for example:

    <domain name="provo5"/>
    <domain name="provo6"/>
    (Optional) Create one or more lines to prevent users in one or more post offices from using WebAccess, for example:

    <postOffice name="interns.provo1"/>
    <postOffice name="temps.provo1"/>
    Specify the post office in post_office.domain format.

    (Optional) Create one or more lines to prevent users in one or more groups from using WebAccess, for example:

    <distributionList name="webaccessdenied.admin.provo1"/>
    Specify the group in group.post_office.domain format.

    Using one or more groups is the most flexible approach to access control for WebAccess. The group belongs to a specific post office (for example, the one you belong to), but it can include GroupWise users located anywhere in your GroupWise system. By using a group, you can easily modify access control for specific users by modifying the group in the GroupWise Admin console, rather than needed to modify the gwac.xml file whenever access control changes are needed. For more information about groups, see Section 56.0, Creating and Managing Groups.

    (Optional) Create one or more lines to prevent specific users from using WebAccess, for example:

    <user name="sjones.interns.provo1"/>
    <user name="gbock.interns.provo1"/>
    (Conditional) If you want to prevent most users and allow only specified users, use a <gwac access="allow"> line instead of a <gwac access="prevent"> line.

    Save the gwac.xml file."

    Please consider.

13. Unread posts in the API

    I want to use the API to check if I have unread posts, but it doesn't seem the API contains such a counter. It contains a msg_count and a mention_cout, but not the counter I want.
    There is still a possible hack:
    For each channel in a team:
    * Get the timestamp of the last visit
    * Get the posts created after that timestamp
    * Count them
    Besides the fact that it's insanely complex compared to a simple yet handy counter in the API, it involves that we have to fetch the content of all the unread posts, which is a great waste of net traffic, if you intend to check it frequently.

14. Daily / weekly email digests

    I know it sounds like the “email batching” feature added in Mattermost 3.4 https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/12903204-allow-email-batching-limiting

    … but for non-professionnal environnement, a daily, weekly, or even 15 days or monthly “digests” of notifications and/or channels activities would be very useful. Even with one hour batches, members deactivates their notifications when they can't work everyday for the team.

    “Slow projects” don't need immediate responses, and a moderate usage of notifications would be appreciated.

    In some circonstances, a good (slow) timing of reminder could even drive members' involvement (e.g. for those who takes a few hours per week for a project).

    This could be
    - a simple increase of durations for the susmentionned “email batching” feature.
    - a new feature for automatic digests or summaries of the team activities (not only to notify inactive members, but this could give everyone a simple overview for a longer period of time)

18. Support 3rd Party Push Notification Services such as Pushy

    Google Play Services and GCM is blocked in China. This means that users that are not on VPN cannot get push notifications. The only known workarounds that I know of are using a 3rd party Push Notification service such as Baidu (http://push.baidu.com/doc/android/api) or Pushy (https://pushy.me/) or to run your own push notification service. I wish I didn't have to make this suggestion, but MatterMost is severely crippled by this and I dont see the geopolitics changing anytime soon.

19. copy existing mattermost token to other teams

    Currently there are many integrations via webhook / slash commands that need a specific token to be set up in the configuration.

    if you want to use the same slash command for several teams its not possible without updating the database manually with the same token you used before in another team.

    the best option would be something like a seperate option to set the generated token id manually, so its possible to use 1 token for 1 integration for all teams that are created in mattermost.

    Did the same manually in the mattermost database, by selecting the commands table , creating the same command on 2 teams and updating the token of the 2nd team to the first one.

    now i just had to set it up with one token id and its working perfect.
