Member search sorting
Hi Team,
When sending a direct message, we can see a 'member search' selection, which currently seems like sorting in alphabetical order by username.
Could you provide an option to change the sorting criteria.
Thanks.

Option to allow hiding the server tabs bar
I would love to be able to hide the top server tabs bar on my single-server setup. Lots of wasted space when I don't have any other servers. I like to have the window fairly small, sort of old-school instant-messaging style, and when I do, 5% of the height of the window is taken up by the tabs bar (yes, I'm that kind of person where I measured the height of my window in pixels and the height of the tabs bar using GIMP).
Even if I were connected to other servers, I could switch servers using a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Number, I believe) and wouldn't need that huge bar on the top to see the servers I'm connected to. I guess the only benefit to having the bar there with multiple servers is the notifications indicator and the 3-dot menu for the Menu bar. Still, these could be moved elsewhere that doesn't take up vertical space.
Running on Arch Linux with Gnome.

make /commands referencable in post-text.
There are interactive message buttons, but they dont flow neatly in the text. It should be possible to write a longer post, and reference commands and parameters in the text.
Once the post is posted, they become clickable by everyone which would in some way ask for confirmation or just pre-fill the text-input-area and allow the users to execute said command.That way one could not even better educate users of (custom) commands, but could also help them prefill the arguments of commands.
Example: I could write:
hello there, it seems, like you want to use
/command asdffor asdf and/command asdf qwerfor something else, we also offer/another-command --allto do all other cool things.If the users click on
/command asdfit will ask them, if they want to execute said command with the given parameter. Or it would just pre-fill the text-input area so users can customise the command and arguments, before executing.There are interactive message buttons, but they dont flow neatly in the text.

Admins should be able to see statistics of different channels too.
Right now mattermost provides statistics at App level and at Team level. It would be really helpful if admins can see stats of different public/private channels too.
That means if I have 15 different channels, I can stats of all of them and pick which one is being used the most and which is least.
What do you think guys?

JIRA Integration Channel Notification/Subscribe
Support all issue status update event transitions, not just only status changes when the ticket is reopened, or when resolved/closed, and assignee changes.
We use the issue status transition to trigger the QA Team to start work. Would be nice to have these notifications via the Mattermost Integration

Allow a user list in the right-hand side bar
The right hand sidebar for the Mattermost client seems to only support searching. Many chat-apps like Slack, Discord, and others include a list of users in the current channel in a sidebar that can be displayed at all times. I think this would be a great feature!

Add posibility to share a file to many users or groups
In this moment, if I want to share the same file to many users or groups, I need to repeat share operation for every user or group. It would be great if you can add a intermediary screen for destination selection (like whatsapp), with multiple option for selection

Enable to detect since when a user is offline (manual & disconected)
Currently, using the UX, we cannot determine the last time a user when offline. this feature is useful and could be compared with flowdock.com, as you can see in the image https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/907914/71488129-12347800-2873-11ea-8b03-867c8fc2b357.png
Steps to reproduce:
mattermost Server 5.16+
Open a conversation 1-1 with any user, and if it is offline, we cannot determine since when that user is offlineExpected behaviour:
Open a conversation 1-1 with any user and if is offline. Display as part of user status since when the user is offline.

Enable Notifications when Mattermost is not Visible to the User
If a chat is selected when the desktop app is not visible or minimized, the user will not receive notifications for any new messages sent within the chat.
For example, If I am talking to Bob, then I shrink the desktop app with his name still selected in the left hand pane, or I open a new window and cannot see the Mattermost app, it wont notify me of a new message from Bob unless I make sure to click on a different chat window with someone else prior to moving my attention away from Mattermost.
I understand we wouldnt want notifications while we are in an active conversation, so I was thinking adding functionality of knowing when the Mattermost is visible or not to the user for sending notifications on chats that are open.
The idea would be similar to this page visibility api: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API

Make 'reply to last message in a channel' a default option
Enable the ability for a user org/admin to make 'reply to the last message in a channel' the default option when starting a new message, so threads are the default for a conversation. This could perhaps also be optionally limited to replies that explicitly start with or contain an 'at-mention' of the handle of the creator of the original post.

Support preview of HEIF / HEIC images
Modern smartphones, iOS and Android based, save photos in HEIC instead of JPEG.
As of now, there's no preview support for HEIC encoded images. When people post photos taken on their smartphones, users currently have to download the photo to see it.
Therefore I suggest adding support of HEIC to the image previews feature.

Add option to turn off default custom emojis
The title says it all: i.e. get rid of "the Doom guy" and other icons there. This option can go on the Emojis page in the System Console. An alternative implementation would be to list them in the custom emoji list and allow them to be individually deleted there.

Newcommers to private channels should not have access to the past logs
When a new user is invited to a private channel, s.he can access all the past logs as if s.he was a member of the channel from Day 1. I see this as a sort of privacy pitfall, as you have to control your language thinking of who may be invited in the future. That's not exactly what I'd call a private discussion channel.
My use case is that we are using mattermost to discuss our research project. I can perfectly imagine how we discuss together about a concurring project and then later introduce a postdoc coming from that group. That may have really ... unfortunate outcomes.
It would be much more natural and less error prone if users could only see the logs produced during the period where they were a member of the channel.
Of course, my proposal is not a secure protection because a channel member could always leak what is said in here. But that's already better than the current situation where everything is leaked by accident on a systematic manner.
Thanks for this great tool,

Integration with Miro collaborative whiteboarding
Miro (https://miro.com/) is a collaborative whiteboarding system popular with (interaction) designers but also used in research and strategy planning.
Microsoft Teams allows the following events from Miro to be shown:
- invitees sign up
- board is shared with you
- there's a new comment or a reply to your comment on a board
- someone @mentions you in a comment or reply.

It would be nice to have a similar integration in Mattermost.

Run mattermost-mobile in webapp contexts and therefore allow other platforms than ios and android
I recently started using a Volla Phone with the operation system Ubuntu Touch and would like to use mattermost-mobile. As the app has been developed using react-native, I think the easiest way to support more platforms would be to also support react-native-web. This would allow to start mattermost-mobile in a browser and/or in web app contexts of other platforms than ios and android.
