  1. have system tray icon indicate when not logged in

    The system tray icon is white when I am caught up on reading. It turns amber or red when I have messages to read or direct messages. But it was white all morning. I was curious why everyone was so quiet, but didn't look. Then I went to direct message someone and saw I wasn't even logged in.

    Feature suggestion: system tray icon indicate when not logged in.

  2. Add 'Mark Read' option in right click of Channel(or Group) to clear notification icon

    I suggest to have 'Mark read' option for any Channel in Mattermost.

    There may have few groups which are integrated to get notification of JIRA updates or Jenkins to build status. Loads of messages are received there and one will see notification icon until one open that channel.

    It will be great if Mattermost provides 'Mark Read' kind of function to clear particular channel notifications without opening channel chat.

    I would recommend having this as a right-click option of a channel.

  3. Caching old messages in mobile App? (like slack, whatsapp etc...)

    When starting the iOS App 2.0, the app is syncing its data. This usually takes quite a while. Another thing is, that when the device is "offline" (e.g. flightmode), I'm not able to read my already received messages on my mobile app. When Offline and the app gets started, It looks like there is no time out set, when no internet connection (circle keeps spinning since minutes). Could you cache the the data and just sync "new" messages? I just checked slack app and they offer this, which is quite helpful.

  4. Sub-comment

    Hi,

    please implement this code to all CSS templates:

    .post.same--root.post--comment, .post.same--root.same--user.post--comment {
    padding-left: 4em;
    }

    so chat look like this:

    http://www.image-share.com/ipng-3649-129.html

    We are using it some time, and chat is more clear to read.

    Many thanks.

    Miroslav

  5. API specification

    Cross posted from GitHub issues: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/69

    I see that the code appears to be logically organised around a clean-looking API; I can go and read through the Go source and get to understand it, but it'd be better if there were a specification of that API clearly written somewhere for reference. As this is a developing project, it'd especially be useful to know what parts of the API are considered "stable".

    Lets-Chat have an API spec which was invaluable to me in writing a Python API wrapper and I'd love to do the same for Mattermost. :)

  6. "Mark channel unread" option to support account notification settings "words that trigger mentions" feature

    At the moment its possible to mark channels unread if you are mentioned (The channel name is bolded in the sidebar when there are unread messages. Selecting "Only for mentions" will bold the channel only when you are mentioned), but it would be awesome if we could have the function to choose the settings that are already adjusted in "Account settings" --> Notifications --> Words that triggers mentions

    Would save lot of time to read only channels that has something related to your keywords, not only if you are mentioned

    Related issue, but requires more like only "channel wide notifications": …

  7. 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…

  9. Keep "recently read" channels on top, like unread

    I find the feature where channels with unread messages are in an UNREAD category that's above my FAVORITES to be very helpful and useful. I often have a few such channels at any one time, and I often read and answer them all at about the same time, switching between them.
    The problem is that, as soon as I read through or respond to one channel, it is no longer UNREAD, and so leaves that topmost category. Often I want to respond with an additional line of text, or make an edit -- but now it's difficult to find that…

  10. "Voiced" channel mode like IRC

    Sometimes (especially in open source development) public and private are not granular enough distinctions. I'd like to be able to set a public channel as "voiced" where only certain users can post messages, but everyone can read them.

    This is similar to IRC, and is extremely useful for meetings held publicly, but where the only voiced participants are members of the project leadership.

  11. Mark post as read via api

    Need a way to mark posts or channels as read. So when bots call the api to get unread messages they can mark as read without a reply.

  12. load to my last message

    The idea is to have a link, "load to my last message", right beside "Load more messages", the goal of it is to "load all chat messages up to the last time I talked in that channel", this way rather than seeing messages backwards, I can just click it and read the channel in order from the time I left it. Seems like a rather simple addition.

  14. 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.

  15. Option in a channel: force view pinned posts

    In some channels some messages are ‘must read’...
    An option ‘I have read this one’ would be great then.
    It would also be nice to be able to reorder the pinned posts.

  16. Create the possibility to make unread answers more prominent

    I suggest a way to make the newly received messages more prominent and pronounced.

    The reason here is that my father has some issues in reading and quickly overreads new messages except for the very last one. I thought if it was ideally possible to put a e.g. reddish background to all new messages the same way as there is a tiny line with the text new message. For an image see https://forum.mattermost.org/t/how-to-make-unread-answers-more-prominent/7627.

    I am thinking if such a background similar to the light gray one behind a self written message. Maybe a bit more prominent.

    Also as a…

  17. Add GPG signed and encrypted notifications (end to end)

    As administrator I want to restrict notification messages sent from my self-hosted mattermost server to be GPG signed and encrypted.

    That means, if a user hasn't uploaded a GPG public key to his account, notifications sent to him only contain some metadata or nothing at all.
    If a user has uploaded a GPG public key, then the notification message is encrypted for him as receiver, so only he can read it.
    The notification message shall be signed in any case with the private key that I configured in my mattermost server.

    Motivation: transport layer security between the mattermost server and…

  18. Change max length of username so that full names can be used, Add Capital letters

    Change max length of username so that full names can be used. As described in https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1380 . usernames should be able follow enterprise rules. Ours is, e.g. name.lastname, or easier to read as Name.Lastname . Nicknames are not as good as well.

  19. display pinned messages on top

    Unless you happen to be Chinese the pinned messages on the right are likely the last thing you will read.

    The effective way to pin messages is to stack pinned messages on top.

    The metaphor is that the message is pinned to the top of viewport and does not scroll away as other messages do.

  20. seen messages in direct message or channel

    In Telegram you can see who read the message in channel.
    I think it's good feature, because right now I gotta set reaction on message to let know user who mentioned me that I read it and he doesn't need to repeat it me in DM. also we want this on direct message
