  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. 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…

  6. Render uploaded .md markdown files in preview window

    I would like Mattermost to render uploaded .md files as html rendered rather than as a plain text file.

    Currently they display as a text file and if its a long line of text you have to scroll to read it all.

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  12. Show filenames after dragging a file into a message

    Currently when you drag a file into a message the name of the file isn't shown until you send a message. It would be nice if the filename could be displayed before sending so that you can confirm the right file was dragged in.

  15. Have "Unread" option showing all unread messages and notifications across all channels

    Slack has something similar that shows above all channels. It makes it easy to browse through your unread messages without having to click each channel separately.

  16. view or copy source of a message

    It would be really useful to reuse markdown messages.

    Currently, Users can see raw message only when markdown is disabled.
    And they can only copy their own messages.

  17. Add a repository for the contents of your website.

    I noticed some errors on your website, mostly typos and small improvements that could be made. It would be cool if I could just send a pull request on GitHub/Gitlab.

  19. Allow Team Admins to see statistics for their Team

    It would be useful to indent own messages posted to channels, in addition to current shading with gray. Like in several other chat platforms do.
