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…17 votes -
CTRL+F on Windows Desktop app puts cursor in Mattermost search box filtered to channel
In the browser CTRL+F brings up text search for the page, so propose in the Windows Desktop app CTRL+F brings up Mattermost search pre-filtered to the channel to have a similar effect.
Other than the ability to search a page, the browser and desktop app have almost the same functionality.
Adding this would make the experiences more equivalent, rather than having desktop just slightly degraded.

Add Ability to allow webhooks in private channels
Add a control to allow webhooks to work in private channels. A per webhook control would be best, but an all or nothing would be a good start.

Try to use less CPU / energy in native Mac App
Right now the Mattermost native Mac app is using a lot of CPU, pretty consistently over 10%, which seems really high for an app of this type. What could it possibly be doing to use that much CPU? The energy impact is almost up there with known battery drainers like Chrome and Firefox. I know it's a beta, so please consider this some beta-user feedback. Thanks!

iOS and Android apps should allow users to bypass certificate warning
iOS and Android apps should allow users to bypass certificate warning. Some of us don't have proper certs and use the application for small teams, and don't have the resources to get proper web certificates.

Integration with matrix.org
Matrix.org is an open standard for decentralised communication, providing simple HTTP APIs for text chat and VoIP calling and conferencing. It would be great to be able to talk Mattermost <-> Matrix!

Automatically expand permalinked messages
When you paste a permalink in the channel, it displays as any other
link. It would be great if these were automatically recognized, and
expanded with a preview of the message (similar to when you reply to a message), together with the Jump button so you can easily jump to that point in history without reloading the entire tab (or opening a new
tab).18 votes -
Noification through Taskbar blink for new messages
There are instances when I am away from my PC and when I come back, I want my attention to be pulled to mattermost if I have new messages. A taskbar blink on new messages will do that.
Now I have to remember to open mattermost every once in a while, which you tend to forget when you are busy with other work.17 votes -

Mattermost Federation
Let all the Mattermost instances connect to each other, like the way Jabber/XMPP does it. So if I want to chat with someone on another instance, I just open my own instance and add a contact like "nameofuser@mattermost.otherdomain.tld" and the two Mattermost instances will connect to each other.
80 votesAs a starting point, anyone from community interested in helping add this through an integration?
If so, we can open an APR to discuss (http://docs.mattermost.com/process/accepting-pull-request.html)
API documentation here: http://docs.mattermost.com/developer/api.html
You might start with open source Mattermost apps like Matterircd (IRC server) which might have a lot of the parts you’d need: https://github.com/42wim/matterircd

iOS horizontal support on iPhones
I would like to add horizontal support to the iOS iPhone application in order to make viewing code snippets a bit more user friendly.
I have implemented the change already, but need a ticket to create a pull request.

Add ephemeral chats
Implement ephemeral chats. Useful for one-off topic discussions that may intersect users who do not all participate in a common room and for topics that don't fit existing rooms. There would be a simplified creation process (no topic, no purpose, invite users as the first action), generally more like Direct Messaging. It should also be possible to add/remove people from the conversation and promote it to a real room at some point. Maybe I just want to talk with a group of colleagues about dinner tonight...
Benefits:
- Quick
- No competition for room names
- Possibly allow them to…9 votes -
Tasks Management
I would really like to have a task management feature or app integration.
As I'm using Glip for some projects (as guest, not for my company, to avoid the Data trap you know very well from Slack :-), the best way is to see how it works here:

Privacy option to disable disclosure of online presence
I would like options to control all the possible ways that my online presence can be disclosed by Mattermost, including:
1) any kind of online status indication
2) any kind of idle/away status indication (not sure if this exists today)
3) the indication to others that I am typing
Sometimes, users prefer to lurk... that means not revealing any kind of online presence.

Expand syntax highlighting in code blocks to more languages
Mattermost uses highlight.js (I think) - but bundles support for just a subset of languages. This reduces client side load times by limiting the amount of Javascript loaded.
This could be made configurable at run-time, so for those using for example scala or Powershell can get highlighting for their languages without impacting performance.

Calendar App
To complement and extend the task management, a calendar app will really be a nice feature!
Please see the Glip implementation of it
https://glip.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202321744-Calendar-AppAnd so MatterMost will also become a Glip alternative 8-)

Allow interactive markdown components
Allow clickable markdown links to interact with the channel/app. Ideally bots or services posting markdown components could embed clickable links which could populate the users text input and/or automatically post an outgoing webhook message for the user.

Advanced message/rich text editor
Currently, it's not easy to write long and complex messages (source code for example). It would be nice to have the option to open a rich editing window.
For example, another icon could be added at the left of the input box that opens a rich editing window with something like tinymce features. Slack has something like that . A plus icon is at the left and you can choose various ways to enter text according your needs. Even code snippets.
