  1. Send 4k video

    I would like to submit a request to implement support for sending video files in 4K resolution. I’m sharing a GitLab link where the issue is described.

    https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/31011

    Best regards.

  2. Check / uncheck checklist items from message

    It would be nice if messages that comprise checklist items could be clicked to check / uncheck items. For now, the author can edit their message to change - [ ] item into - [x] item for instance, but that's cumbersome. Moreover, it would be nice if other members could be given permission to tick / untick items of a message sent by someone else.

  3. Option to disable threads

    I am new to mattermost but this thread thing sucks.

    I want to reply to a message in the same chat. 99.99999% of the time the response thread only contains a single reply and its not worth the hassle.

    So please add an option to disable threads, or at least an easy way to reply in same chat that does not include manually copying the text and adding >

  4. AVIF image format support

    AVIF (which is also a still image of av1 video compressor) is one of the most modern image formats (in addition to JPEG XL).

    Majority of web browsers already support it and modern news websites are using it on regular basis. Sites such as Facebook / Instagram support it (and btw.. render avif uploads much faster than jpg)

    If you want to compress / archive your image collection AVIF and JPEG XL are best formats to do that as they are open source. Problems start when you want to share an image from your collection to a Mattermost site.

  5. Custom Tag or Option that shows 1st line (title) but collapses the rest of long post under "Show More"

    Currently Mattermost limits the length of posts to 16383 characters (https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/17368972-eliminate-4000-character-per-message-message-leng).

    Most likely the limit is caused by the length of the TEXT field in supported MySQL, which is 65536 bytes. A UNICODE character can take up to 4 bytes, hence the safe limit:
    65536 bytes / 4 = 16383,75 characters.

    Using rich Markdown formatting, abundance of hyperlinks, one can reach the limit of 16383 characters in a research post.

    To make it easier to scroll through the list, Mattermost collapses (hides) parts of long posts under "Show more" button/link, after showing first few lines.

    Too make it…

  7. The ability to favorite emoji and access them quickly.

    The recently used emoji section is nice, but it's very frustrating when they disappear or reset every few months for whatever reason. Can we add a section for favorite emoji? It would even be more beneficial where the "recent emoji" section is. Maybe there's a way to integrate both in a way that are easily accessible?

    In my position we work very fast, so it's integral to be able to react to certain posts in an efficient matter when you need to. This feature would be an amazing addition.

  8. Dialogue sees input in real time

    Live Input Visibility During Conversation
    I want to develop an AI bot that can converse with users and help them complete tasks. During the conversation, I want to see the bot's real-time output, corresponding to the streaming output of the LLM. Currently, I have to wait for the LLM output to completely finish before sending a message to the user. This requires waiting.

  9. Add the ability to create subchannels within existing channels

    Feature Request:
    Add the ability to create subchannels within existing channels to better organize conversations and topics within a team and break large channels into focused topics.

    Proposed Implementation: Follow the same pattern used by Posts with RootId. Add a ParentChannelId field to the Channel model that references the parent channel, enabling a single-level parent-child hierarchy. This mirrors how thread replies work - posts use RootId to reference their parent post, and we can apply the same approach to channels.

  11. 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 ;-)

  12. 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…

  13. make an admin be able to differ between inactive and disabled users

    The problem of the current situation is, that an administrator yet is only able to set an user account status to "inactive". This means more a disabling of the user, because the user is in no longer able to log in. In fact, he is locked out.
    It would be more appropriate to rename the status "inactive" to "disabled".

    A new status "inactive" should be introduced where a user is in fact using the featureset of a "team edition". No license is acuired for this user and he doesn't get any push notifications anymore until he logs in again. By…

  14. make private chats able to authorize users based on ldap groups

    In corporate Environments often closed discussions take place between persons whose users already exist within predefined ldap groups. For Mattermost it would make sense to authorize users for private channels using such existing ldap groups.

  15. Make Up Arrow behavior configurable

    When you press Up Arrow, your expectations of what will happen may differ. A user coming from Slack might expect the current behavior, where you are allowed to edit your last message. A user coming from IRC, however, would like expect to cycle through his last typed messages by pressing Up Arrow one or several times. And there's an existing suggestion that it cycles through slash commands.

    There is only one Up Arrow button, so the best compromise will likely be to make it user configurable. This would of course also depend on the two latter options being implemented.

  16. Filtering webhooks to process every post

    I'd like to code up support for specifying remote filters that would get to process every post. When a post is sent to the server, it would get passed to the processing service(s), which would return a potentially modified message to get saved/displayed. It would also potentially trigger an incoming webhook that might add follow-on information. The specification of the "filtering webhooks" would be similar to that of outgoing webhooks. Would anyone else be interested in this?

  17. Add show and set focus to the window option on new message

    Add an option to show and set focus to the window whether there are new messages or mention. To make it possible for a user to surely notice and to react the message.

  18. Use clocks to easily create and view threads

    This feature is really usefull to identify and follow different conversations in a channel.
    When you click on a clock, it adds the clock in the beginning of the post (or at the position of the cursor).
    When you hover on a clock in a post, it highlights the referring post and the answers to this post.

    You can see a demo there : http://sveetch.net/tribune/
