Task #7876
Updated by Nico Schottelius over 4 years ago
h2. Riot web / general * remove the separation tab of Direct Messages and Rooms -> this damages readability ** An option to disable all categories might do this ** Adding to this: scrolling inside the groups can be very painful and fields are often too small * disable color differentiation for each user name: make them all same, muted color. ** Afaics this refers to the avatar - maybe an option to disable avatars all together * Numbers of unread messages on channels are not helpful ** Proposed solution: Indicate unread by bold only, remove the number count * When creating a new public room the "room alias" field is empty and needs to be filled in manually ** This should be automatically derived from the name as a suggestion * When inviting people to a room, local people (@xx:ungleich.ch) show up for a second and then vanish until I type the full name ** i.e. typing @xx - shows the name, I want to select it, it vanishes ** other people from other matrix servers are shown as suggested ** then finishing @xx:ungleich.ch shows it again ** Solution: don't make it show and vanish, but keep it * Too much margin between text groups damage readability ** While chatting, the vertical spaces between texts are too high and waste space. ** The horizonal space between profile picture and the name is too wide, makes it harder for eyes to coherently follow who wrote what. ** Time of writing is not shown by default and only reveals on mouseover, requires extra movement for catching information. ** Having to jump big spaces between different information (who wrote it what, when) makes it hard for the eyes to focus. * It is "impossible" to delete a room ** There is no delete button ** There seems to be a workaround to kick all users, make it non joinable (how?) and leave it *** untested ** Very basic functionality seems to be missing * When creating a new room and inviting users, nick autocompletion when writing a message does not work ** This only works when invited users joined ** This is very limiting/confusing, as one might want to write already messages for the people who join eventually ** Even if they don't join, the autocomplete should be able to reference people who are invited * When writing in "direct chat", nick auto completion of OTHER users I write to does not work ** Use case: "Did you talk to @s..." -- does not autocomplete ** Suggestion: have a general auto completion, independent of the room I am writing in * Selecting auto completion of users is easier in mattermost: ** mattermost shows a list and allows to finish by <tab> or <enter> ** matrix requires arrow up or clicking * There is not emoticon selection list for regular messages ** However there is one for reactions ** This is a bit inconsistent and confuses -> should be consistently available * Room classifications (low, favorite, etc.) seem to be CLIENT specific ** Opening the browser on a different computer gives an old/different room view ** Causes a lot of extra work for organising, i.e. x times for x devices * Sometimes the members are shown instead of the room title in the room list (???) ** See attachment to this ticket * Mattermost has a "thread view" where one can show all messages in a thread ** it only appears if you click on the reply button next to one of the messages in the thread ** it is quite convenient to show old threads * Inconsistent scroll bar behaviour ** left/right are different ** https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/12328 *** https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/983 * When being in an empty room (i.e. for sharing messages with yourself) a warning repeats ** "There's no one else here! Would you like to invite others or stop warning about the empty room?" ** Even clicking "stop warning" the messages comes back (different device, different browser) *** Where are those settings saved? * Cannot search for parts of an URL ** Specifically "https://support.ungleich.ch/Ticket/Display.html?id=X", searching for X returns results in mattermost, but not matrix ** Where is search located at in matrix? Server? Client? * When editing a multi line message, cursor up at some point goes into editing the PREVIOUS message ** When not having text to be sent inside the text field for sending messages, this behaviour makes sense ** However as soon as there is text in the text bar, it should not move up to previous messages anymore h2. RiotX * Notifications are by default for EVERY message ** https://github.com/vector-im/riotX-android/issues/1105
