  2. Make visual indications of new messages more pronounced

    The current indication for the Mac client is a hardly distinguishable blue dot for the team and a hardly distinguishable whiter color for the channel. It's nice and muted, but I had to really look hard before I found what to look for for unread messages. I suggest a slightly more pronounced way of indicating unread messages for teams and channels.

  3. Allow webhooks to trigger other webhooks posts

    From: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1901

    Outgoing webhooks are not triggered by other webhooks posts. For example if bota posts "hello" on Town Square and botb is typically triggered by "hello", it will not be triggered.

    If this was implemented, the danger is creating cycles unintentionally, so there should be a way to avoid that.

  6. Clickable Phone Number in phone app

    In other chat apps, if someone writes a phone number, it turns into a clickable link automatically, so you can easily call someone. In our field, we are constantly giving phone numbers in our chats for field staff who need a call from a supervisor, and this would speed up our processes immensely. Thank you.

  7. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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
    ...

  16. 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.

  17. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
