  1. Display extended message preview on hover

    When you hover a reference to an existing message (such as where one has been quoted in a thread), it would be neat if, when you hover the pointer above the abridged message preview, you could see the full text. This would save a click or two.

  2. Automatically expand permalinked messages

    When you paste a permalink in the channel, it displays as any other
    link. It would be great if these were automatically recognized, and
    expanded with a preview of the message (similar to when you reply to a message), together with the Jump button so you can easily jump to that point in history without reloading the entire tab (or opening a new
    tab).

  3. Add badge for all unread non-mention messages

    Add badge for all unread non-mention messages to sidebar. Something like in skype. Actually it had already implimented, and would probably be merged into main release if a lot of people will be interest in this.

  4. Add user_real_name to outgoing slash commands or webhooks

    An outgoing /slash command from mattermost sends information including the token, userid and username in the POST.

    We would also like to see userrealname in the POST, without having to do another API call.

    For example:

    channelid=cniah6qa73bjjjan6mzn11f4ie&
    channel    name=town-square&
    command=/somecommand&
    responseurl=not+supported+yet&
    team    domain=someteam&
    teamid=rdc9bgriktyx9p4kowh3dmgqyc&
    text=hello+world&
    token=xr3j5x3p4pfk7kk6ck7b4e6ghh&
    user    id=c3a4cqe3dfy6dgopqt8ai3hydh&
    username=freddy
    user    real_name=Fred+Smith

  5. Preinstalled "matter-bot"

    I´m just stealing the idea from slack ;)

    I would like to see a simple bot that I can configure much like the "Slack Bot" (https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/202026038-Slackbot-your-assistant-notepad-programmable-bot)

    This is a great and simple way to get started with bots!

  6. Message automatic deletion a la snapchat

    I'm trying Mattermost on a large organization as a professional communication tool surrounding but not overlapping formal previous communication tools that will remain (email, business specific tools, etc). To achive that, Mattermost messages are meant to be sended/received, read, and then expire and dissapear. We don't need a new static, searchable communication tool (yet on steroids), but a volatile one in order to support teams internal dynamics, but not to remain logged.
    I've thougth of a sort of bot checking times been read or time from post on every message and deleting on checking pre-defined conditions, but this would be…

  7. Enable setup as a Tor hidden service (like XMPP servers)

    Many people use XMPP servers for instant messaging due to it's decentralisation. And many of these providers also have hidden service servers (.onion addresses)

    If Mattermost wants to be competitive with other popular instant messaging programs like XMPP (Jabber) then it needs to allow easy setup of hidden service servers, ideally with a wizard setup installer.

  8. Add option to restrict DMs to users who share at least 1 team

    Proposed text:

    System Console > Team Settings > Direct Message options

    Enable users to open Direct Message channels with:

    • Any user on the Mattermost server // default
    • Any member of a team on which a user is also a team member

    Help text: ”Any user on the Mattermost server” enables users to open a Direct Message channel with any user on the server, even if they are not on any teams together. "Any member of a team on which a user is also a team member" limits the ability to open Direct Message channels to only users who share at…

  11. Add better filters/search for messages and attachments

    1. Have a panel in the sidebar (similar to Slack) to view all available files/your files for the team/channel. Filters by file type and being able to search the filename would also be nice.

    2. Have additional search filters (again similar to Slack) such as the time/duration or the has: qualifier (e.g. has: link)

  12. Add Ability to allow webhooks in private channels

    Add a control to allow webhooks to work in private channels. A per webhook control would be best, but an all or nothing would be a good start.

  14. Provide an option to only show channels with unread messages

    We have a Mattermost installation where I'm subscribed to 24 channels, most of which are fairly quiet. Except for the channels that are at the top and bottom of the list (of course). I'm continually scrolling up and down.

    I'd like to have an option that hides channels that have no unread messages. Hiding all-read private groups and DMs would be a bonus.

    under review  ·  Adminmattermost.org (Moderator, Mattermost) responded

    Thanks Brian and others for suggesting this feature!

    We are considering to add a setting to hide all read channels in the sidebar: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-7502

    In the meantime, there are two features that can help your teams:
    1) Mattermost v4.7+ supports a setting to group all unread channels at the top. This makes it easier to find all your unreads. It must first be enabled by your System Admin: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#group-unread-channels-experimental
    2) Mattermost v4.9+ shows unread channels when using the channel switcher (CMD/CTRL+K)

  15. marking posts as read on viewing, not all in channel at once

    For example I have off-topic channel with 1000 unread messages. I want to read them all, but it takes 15 minutes or more. I start reading, read about 200 messages, but at that time I receive very important direct message, or mention in other channel. I switch to that channel, do what I need, but when I come back to off-topic channel, i have all messages marked as read. moreover - I instantly jump to the end of a channel, not to place where i stop reading.

    Also even if channel is opened, but i am reading something in past…

  17. Add ephemeral chats

    Implement ephemeral chats. Useful for one-off topic discussions that may intersect users who do not all participate in a common room and for topics that don't fit existing rooms. There would be a simplified creation process (no topic, no purpose, invite users as the first action), generally more like Direct Messaging. It should also be possible to add/remove people from the conversation and promote it to a real room at some point. Maybe I just want to talk with a group of colleagues about dinner tonight...

    Benefits:
    - Quick
    - No competition for room names
    - Possibly allow them to…

  20. Ability to customize the chat display/layout

    Add a way to customize the display of the chat in the web interface. Currently a single message takes up two lines of text. If each message could be formatted as desired, the layout could be tailored to each users preference.

    For example (with overly descriptive variable names):
    %SENTTIME%| %SENDER%> %MESSAGE%
    Would result in:
    15:56| Kristian> Hello world!

    To build the current view, you could do:
    %AVATAR% %SENDER% %SENTTIMEAGO%\n%MESSAGE%

    Or something like that.

    As a long time IRC user, I feel that the WebUI for mattermost uses way too much space for a simple chat messages. With customized layout, it…
