  3. Map Lync/Skype for Business user presence to Mattermost

    Hi,

    We use Lync/Skype for Business as the primary communications tool at my company, but for small project/team communications we use a self-hosted Mattermost server, because it's obviously 9000 times better than SFB.

    However, Mattermost (especially the desktop client) does not integrate very well with Windows regarding the user's presence.

    Short Scenario:
    If I lock my computer, SFB immediately sets my presence to Away, meanwhile Mattermost doesn't.

    On the other way around, if I minimize the Mattermost Desktop client to the tray, and I have an other application running on full-screen, after a short period, Mattermost goes to mark…

  4. Unsubscribe from email notifications directly from the email

    Currently when you receive an email notification, you cannot unsubscribe from the notifications directly from the email. Instead, you must log in, then go to Account Settings > Notifications to turn them off.

    Propose providing a link in the email which allows you to unsubscribe from the notifications without logging in, similar to Discourse.

  5. Status over name (Working locations)

    something which i liked about Slack was you could put a 'status' which would appear by hovering over someone's name. I and a lot of others used to put their locations for the week which was quite useful.

  7. add support for custom server storage via SSH.

    Currently the pull down menu for "File Storage System:" on /admin_console/files/storage only offers Local Storage and Amazon. I want to use my file server. So SSH access. (I guess WebDav for some people?)

    That means that you would have a third option in the pull-down that says "Custom Server (SSH)" and the fields below it would be:

    1. Username

    2a. Password OR

    2b. Paste your public RSA key here

    1. Server URL (ex - 'myfileserver.mycompany.com')

    2. SSH port (default: 22)

    3. root directory (default: ~)

  8. Login with QR code

    I have a very long password and I would like to keep it. To make it easier to login on the phone it would be great if a QR is code shown on the computer which I can scan. (Where I am already logged into Mattermost.) Similar to Whatsapp where you login like this on the computer.

  10. Add support for Adaptive Icons on Android 8

    Android 8 introduced a featured called Adaptive Icons; it lets users pick the shape of icons on their home screen. Supporting this is extremely easy, and only requires 4 lines of XML code. Please add support for this feature in a future release.

    Documentation is available here: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive.html

  12. Better AWS S3 Integration

    AWS S3 is a great option and I've gotten it working using an IAM role w policies to access that specific S3 bucket. What I'm suggesting is that instead of S3 being used as just a file "dump", there could be an optional setting for "Serve content directly from S3" (as well as perhaps another option available for "serve directly using cloudfront" - which would have a notice on the extra cost).
    The idea is that instead of serving assets from the Mattermost instance itself, the objects in S3 could have presigned URL's set on them (with another setting for…

  13. Ability to Reply to Message with Webhook

    It would be awesome for us, when something like this could be achieved:

    I use a slash command in a thread (right side), the triggered post will include the parent message id.

    Add the parent message id to incoming webhooks. So I can reply to a thread with webhooks.

  14. Make Mattermost recognize jira links to show issue information

    One thing you need the whole time when really working with Mattermost is pasting links from other applications like Jira. Because there is no tight integration, either the other person has to open the link all the time or I have to copy the issue title besides the link.
    The only way I could solve this party was with a slash command (because it works for every channel) (https://github.com/mattermost-jira-info/mattermost-jira-info)
    But it would be nice to extend the link parser (link preview) to be able to connect it to other applications....

  15. add the ability to preview messages, or a larger editor in the RHB

    It would be really great to be able to have a preview of a message before it's sent. Putting a full-size, WYSIWYG-able editor available in the right-hand bar would make it easier to compose longer messages, especially if you need to reference other posts inside of Mattermost.

  16. Have favourite channels visible from other teams

    Private messages and their favourites are visible regardless of team. It would be nice if favourite channels are also available from any team, regardless of the team they belong to. This would make communication across teams faster and easier.

  17. Allow consecutive emoji's in the Emoji Picker

    When typing a message, sometimes I want to insert consecutive emoji's. Instead of typing them manually, I would rather use the Emoji Picker. However, as soon as I click on an emoji to insert it, the Emoji Picker closes. I think it would be really nice if there was a way, like holding the Shift key, to keep it open so that I can insert other emoji's in a row.

  18. 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…

  19. Method to get/export channel member list

    Sometimes it would be handy to export a list of channel members for example to form an emailing list or something. Can't find a way to do this either on UI or with commandline tools. Ideally it would be configurable to get Name or Email or both.

  20. Build a thread system similar to Twist

    As plenty of companies around there we find Slack/Mattermost a bit too chatty at times. More importantly, it sometimes makes it really hard to follow discussion around a specific topic. For now we have two choices :

    1. Create a specific channel around a topic. But you can start to have a lot of channels really fast
    2. Use "threads". But to be frank threads implementation is really lacking and not practical for complex discussions

    A new player,https://twistapp.com/, has an interesting take on this problem. Real time channels still exists, but there is another category of channels, entirely based on…
