  • Thank you, Jason! Hey, looks like it's time for an even bigger bag of popcorn, huh!

    User-tags, or "mentions" that trigger notifications to the tagged members is now added to the GitHub repo - https://github.com/unaio/una/issues/670 . They're a little more tricky than, say, in-line hashtags, because they may be abused by spammers, and also require deeper integration with the text-editor. We are looking to change the text editor in the future to this - https://github.com/unaio/una/issues/479

     

    When clicking on the "New Message" for messenger, can you have it so that chat is selected with enabling the ability to reply instead of clicking on the chat than chatting?

    Sorry, I didn't quite get this one. :) Could you elaborate?

    • That's awesome and yeah, i can see the spammy issues taking place.
      Maybe there's a way of doing a check while a user is typing and if they mention a username that their friends with to go a head and apply the mention, otherwise display it as plain text.

      I know the Boonex team is busy, but It would be cool to see the team develop a WYSIWYG editor custom to the platform.

      As for the New Message thing.
      If you get a notification of a new message and you click on it from the menu, it takes you to the chat, but you need to click on the user who sent the message before you can reply.
      Whatever chat you end up on when you click the "New Message" notification, maybe have the text field display.

      I was going to do a short screen record of it, but can't upload videos on here lol.
