  1. Add inline preview for attached images

    Pasting or attaching an image shows it as a thumbnail rather than inline with the message as it is for image urls

  3. Implement Automatic Right-To-Left (RTL)

    Most popular text editors change the text direction automatically to RTL (Rgiht to Left) when you enter a text in RTL languages such as Persian, Arabic or Hebrew. If that was the case in the Mattermost, we (the RTL language speaking people!) could use Mattermost much more productively, and localization to Farsi, Arabic, etc was possible.

  4. Allow us to make the window smaller on desktop without collapsing the sidebar.

    Sidebar needs to be able to be resizable and we should be able to make the window smaller with the sidebar still showing. There is a lot of empty space.

  7. Allow message attachments to generate mentions

    SUMMARY

    Notifications are not being generated for user names in message attachments (in my case specifically in fields) that are generated via a webhook.

    STEPS TO REPRODUCE

    Create a new message containing attachments/fields via a web hook. Include the name of the user in the attachment field. The name will not be recognized and tagged.

    EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

    Mattermost would recognize a user's name, as defined in their notification preferences, when mentioned in a message that has an attachment/fields. Notifications would be generated for the user the same as if they are mentioned in a regular message.

  8. Make emoji reactions visible in pinned post panel(right-hand side)

    We'd like to pin a 'poll' post to see the results and make memebers easy to find to post it.

    However we have no access to the reactions in the 'pinned post' pane in the right-hand side.

  9. Polls (like doodle or for decision making)

    Creating and participating in Polls would be great,
    to be embedded within a message.
    Like in Doodle, Facebook or Threema:

    Option | User1 | User2 | ...

    Coke | x | |
    Sprite | x | x |
    ...

    OR

    Option | Votes

    Coke | 3/15 Users
    Sprite | 2/15 Users
    ...

  10. Copy/Paste Individual Messages

    As it stands now, if I hold down on a message it selects one word, per Android's UI. Fine. However, when I click select all, it selects the entire chatroom, rather than that one message. It would be nice to (similar to Facebook Messenger) simply hold down on the message and have a menu pop up asking if you'd like to copy text. Similarly to another post I've made, perhaps in this pop up message, if there is a phone number or email listed in said message, you could select copy text (whole message), copy phone number, or copy email…

  11. Use a different color thread bar for different threads

    When there are multiple threads going on in the same channel, all lines are prefixed by a grey vertical bar. The only way to separate the threads is to read the reference message. If the vertical bars had different colors (randomly selected), it would be easy to at a glance see which messages belongs to which threads.

  13. Offer an onboarding bot

    An on-boarding bot helps new users to on-board into a work environment. In every channel a new team member enters the On-boarding Bot will send a message explaining the channel, what is done there, how the team member can get involved, whom to contact etc. This would help organizations and teams to work more efficiently.

  14. Show all threads in one place

    Option to show all threads in which a user participates in one place. Ask from Startup School.

    Note: By default mention notifications for threads aren't turned on, maybe we should default them to on to see to what extent this helps.

  15. calculator

    In google search, when you prefix a search with "=", it automatically runs the search as a maths calculation. It would be great to have this in mattermost as well.
    So if a message starts with a "=" and does not contain other text, it should be postfixed with the result of the calculation.

  16. Team initials

    Ability to change team initials / short name.

    For example if your teams start with the same prefix, the initials are going to be the same for all of them.

    Furthermore you may want to set it manually, or if the name is made of multiple words, use the first letter of each word as initials.

    This is also related to https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/15465123-team-icon

    Idea is to be able to differentiate teams easier :)

    I also don't know about mobile apps, but in the web version on desktop the initials could potentially include up to 4 characters.

  18. Add a Windows universal app so that Windows 10 Mobile rollouts can use Mattermost

    Let's go Windows Universal with this, and bring Mattermost to a whole new market of Windows 10 Mobile users who're waiting for first party apps for apps just like this. Then Mattermost truly becomes a Slack competitor.

  19. Move a message to another channel

    Sometimes a user posts his message in the wrong channel. Deleting the message and repost is a simple solution. However, sometimes the message already contains replies. Is it possible (to make) to move a message including its replies to another channel?

    planned  ·  Katie Wiersgalla responded

    We are currently looking at bringing the features of the Wrangler plugin into the core product to solve the use cases of:

    1. Moving a message or thread to another channel
    2. Attaching a message to an existing thread

    You can follow progress here as we start design soon: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-35848

  20. Switch channels between different teams

    It is not possible to use ctrl+k to switch to a channel or private group in another team.
    Why is this restricted? I don't think it is a good idea to force the user to use their mouse. This is not very productive.
