Filter Search/channel by tag.
It would be nice to have a bar along the top or side of the ui that could be populated with tag so that the user could filter their search results, or channel contents by filters.
Currently search is inclusive, which makes it hard to reduce the number of search results. Tag filtering would be one method to improve this.10 votes -
Support connecting with IRC clients
Mattermost should support regular IRC clients. A bridge require you to host an entire separate IRC server just for a couple of IRC clients, unless you want to give control to an IRC network. In addition, a bridge per definition is hackish. People speaking are not in the userlist, private messages are impossible etc.

iOS keyboard improvements
Currently both the iOS app and the Mobile view of mattermost (my local install is the last travis-ci build from a week or so ago) when you bring up the input box you are presented with a Send icon, on top of a Done button along with a Return on the actual keyboard. This from a user perspective is super confusing and unintuitive. I would suggest either completely removing the Send icon, or removing the Done text and that whole extra bar that ends up being drawn just to have it there. Also if at all possible changing return to…

Expand syntax highlighting in code blocks to more languages
Mattermost uses highlight.js (I think) - but bundles support for just a subset of languages. This reduces client side load times by limiting the amount of Javascript loaded.
This could be made configurable at run-time, so for those using for example scala or Powershell can get highlighting for their languages without impacting performance.

Add per-channel email notification controls
Similar to per-channel desktop notification controls, I'd like the option to disable email notifications on a per channel basis. A good use case for this is our Git repo web hook: I don't need an email telling me I pushed commits to the repository (currently the author name generates a mention notification).
My original forum post might provide additional context.

Display option to add a click count next to embedded links
Similar to how discourse (https://forum.mattermost.org/) tracks the number of clicks on a link.
Proposed spec:
1) Add Team Setting > Display > Advanced Message Display Options
Title: Advanced Message Display Options
Help text: "Advanced options for message display."
[ ] Show count of clicks next to hyperlinks in messages.
2) If zero clicks have been made on a link, show no indicator.

Add line numbers to code blocks
We would like code posted in messages to have a syntax highlighter for different programming languages (we would be interested in bash, php, css, html etc. Having line numbers would also be nice so when discussing code you can easily know what line you are talking about.

Advanced message/rich text editor
Currently, it's not easy to write long and complex messages (source code for example). It would be nice to have the option to open a rich editing window.
For example, another icon could be added at the left of the input box that opens a rich editing window with something like tinymce features. Slack has something like that . A plus icon is at the left and you can choose various ways to enter text according your needs. Even code snippets.

Search text of attached files
When attached files have text in them, the text of the files should be indexed so that it is available for search.

Expose message edit histories
If users are given the ability to edit their messages, it is useful, at least for moderators and admins, to be able to see what their previous messages were. This is so that disputes between users can be resolved, where a user responds to a message that is subsequently edited to change the context and meaning of the response.

Add autocomplete for webhooks
Sorry, I posted my idea here : https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1256
Descirption :
Let me explain this through an example
I've set a outgoing webhooks triggered by "$", then sended text is parsed by my bot, and runs according command.
ie: "$start 1234" runs "start" command with "1234" args.Autocomplete hook could work like this:
I enter "$st" and press tab, the hook is triggered, sends current text to the bot and the response populates the autocomplete list with something like [{command: […], description: […]}, […]] and whatever needed by the list.29 votes -
Copying and pasting is not great
A copied mattermost conversation has three lines per message, and the first line is like "ryantm1 minute ago" and the last line is blank. It would be nice if there were cleaner ways to copy the conversations.

Mattermost Federation
Let all the Mattermost instances connect to each other, like the way Jabber/XMPP does it. So if I want to chat with someone on another instance, I just open my own instance and add a contact like "nameofuser@mattermost.otherdomain.tld" and the two Mattermost instances will connect to each other.
80 votesAs a starting point, anyone from community interested in helping add this through an integration?
If so, we can open an APR to discuss (http://docs.mattermost.com/process/accepting-pull-request.html)
API documentation here: http://docs.mattermost.com/developer/api.html
You might start with open source Mattermost apps like Matterircd (IRC server) which might have a lot of the parts you’d need: https://github.com/42wim/matterircd

Support websockets on separate sub-domain
Cloudflare does not include support for websockets on its free accounts so they advise you to create a subdomain to be used exclusively for websockets and configure the DNS so that the websocket communication is not routed through their service. I'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but I am hoping not very ;-)

Search should include filenames of attached files/images

Timer for channels
Add a timer - like an egg clock.
"I set the timer on this channel to 15minutes, and when its over, @channel gets a notification to stop their tasks and message the results here"
"Ok, everybody brainstorm this idea until the channel timer bleeps"
"Scrum meeting is delayed 30 minutes, I set up a timer so you dont miss the start of it"

Integration with matrix.org
Matrix.org is an open standard for decentralised communication, providing simple HTTP APIs for text chat and VoIP calling and conferencing. It would be great to be able to talk Mattermost <-> Matrix!

Calendar App
To complement and extend the task management, a calendar app will really be a nice feature!
Please see the Glip implementation of it
https://glip.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202321744-Calendar-AppAnd so MatterMost will also become a Glip alternative 8-)
