  1. 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…

  3. Please use a different emoji/emoticon set, the ones you have make me use them less.

    I'd put a sad face on the end there, but i'm not sure it will convey what i want..

  4. 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…

  5. include a Trace option in the logging modes.

    We were having an issue that was causing Mattermost to continually crash for no apparently reason. Nothing was consistent in the log files, debug didn't give enough information, heck I even did an strace on the PID and wasn't able to get anything useful. A Trace option should include DB calls, perhaps a transaction ID to link the API call to the DB call...

  6. Easily change default channel town-square

    Across Go and React code, town-square channel is hardcoded. Maybe we can make it configuration-based so teams can easily change it and the platform can redirect correctly to /channel/<new name>.

    However doing this, we also have to change the mobile app code e.g. https://github.com/mattermost/android/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/mattermost/mattermost/MainActivity.java#L137 code.

  7. Add a way to spoiler some messages or part of messages

    I think it would be a great idea to add spoiler tags like message or message but for spoilers (i.e ^This is a spoil^)

    There are several ways to implement this:

    -By having an expand/close button for showing/hiding the message
    -By having to select the text to see it
    -By having to hover on the text with the cursor to see it (might be problematic for touch-based devices)

    I suggest discussing on what is the best for mattermost.

  11. Sending emails to Mattermost

    Like this in Slack
    https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/206819278-Sending-emails-to-Slack

    There is a workaround with Mattermail, but it means for each channel I need to create an email (alias) which is cumbersome.

  12. Implement changing channel ownership

    There is currently no method for changing the owner of a channel.

    • A channel owner should be able to assign ownership of their channel to another user
    • Team admins and System Admins should be able to assign ownership of any channel to another user

  14. Microsoft Active Directory SSO with reverse proxy REMOTE_USER

    For advanced enterprises with sophisticated authentication requirements, this feature would allow authentication through REMOTE_USER information passed in via HTTP headers

    This feature requires a fundamental change to the Mattermost user model so that users can exist outside of teams.

    Several threads have discussed this feature:
    - https://forum.mattermost.org/t/active-directory-sso-through-a-reverse-proxys-remote-user/295
    - https://forum.mattermost.org/t/client-side-certificate-authentication/1174

  15. iOS and Android apps should allow users to bypass certificate warning

    iOS and Android apps should allow users to bypass certificate warning. Some of us don't have proper certs and use the application for small teams, and don't have the resources to get proper web certificates.

  16. Extend customization options to include message bg for current user

    NOTES:
    - I'm posting this as per the request made here: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/2549
    - I am not capable of implementing this myself

    Mattermost highlights user's own messages with a gray background (color depends on fg text color). It is entirely up to user's personal taste and preference whether these highlights add anything to the experience: I personally find them distracting and feel they disrupt the flow of the conversation. Also, visually, they're unappealing.

    So, however you feel about these highlights personally, you should at least agree that they're a prominent visual feature. As such, users should be able to turn them…

  19. Improve web accessibility

    It would be great if the WCAG 2.0 guidelines could be implemented to help people with disabilities to use Mattermost.

    This is an area that is often overlook, specially by the recent wave of chat platforms, so it's an opportunity for Mattermost to differentiate itself from the crowd.

    This is planned. Would anyone be interested helping with this effort as we create tickets for them?

    It would be great to hear people’s feedback on what are the biggest gaps with accessibility currently.

  20. Disable direct messages

    Our company would find it useful if there was an admin option to disable direct messages all-together.
    We think this may help the work of teams where there is no need to discucc anything outside of team channels.
