Gitter support – please visit https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/tree/develop/docs and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues before chatting
@eshnil :+1: This is the plan for the future, see gitlab-org/gitter/webapp#1992
Feel free to make a comment on the issue with your praise for TrustedWebActivity and experience :slight_smile:
@dmitriz You associate the room with a GitHub repo during the room creation https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/blob/develop/docs/rooms.md#room-creation . Please let us know if the docs helped
@tobbi_gitlab You can change it in GitLab settings https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/blob/develop/docs/accounts.md#can-i-change-my-username
It's a shame that the display name can't be different in gitter from the gitlab settings.
Just for a reference, you can track gitlab-org/gitter/webapp#1851. We are going to be focusing on better GitLab integration in the near future and this might be part of the epic (even though right now it's part of an epic for allowing users to have multiple identity providers).
@starlight-tu_gitlab currently there isn't a way to hide the menu, you can track gitlab-org/gitter/desktop#255
any help with HTML badges to Gitter rooms (instead of Markdown)?
@dmitriz you can convert the markdown to HTML for example here https://www.browserling.com/tools/markdown-to-html
Today in Linux Ubuntu
@starlight-tu_gitlab I can't reproduce the error. Can you please create an issue in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/desktop/issues with steps to reproduce?
I think I will submit this issue later. But you all agree with me that Gitter needs upload btn and share hook (which allow gitter accept files from other app) right 😁
@starlight-tu_gitlab There is an issue for that gitlab-org/gitter/gitter-android-app#102 but the Gitter team doesn't have the capacity to keep the apps up to date or add new features - gitlab-org/gitter/webapp#2281. The latest thinking is to ask in the community if there's anyone interested in forking the mobile apps and taking over.
Some feedback for the Gitter team as a project (Jupyter) considers reasons why they might switch to something else: https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/thoughts-about-using-discord-for-jupyter-chat/2372
Not in the immediate future. The next big thing after threaded conversations is integration with GitLab and supporting multiple OAuth providers for an account. Those seem to be the most popular issues (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues?sort=popularity). But I agree the search could use some love. Maybe updating the ElastSearch to begin with (running
v1.4)
Only one thumbs up for this issue I opened: gitlab-org/gitter/webapp#1510 :(
Do users know how important it is to upvote issues?
We've got our product direction represented in the Epics roadmap but me personally I'm looking at the thumbs up to see what features/issues are the users interested in.
I've been trying to explain to my open source community about the importance of a new voting mechanism I've set up that makes uses of boards on GitHub Projects (I'd like to support GitLab boards too, if that's possible): https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/z8ugn2KzNSc/zt7COeRYBQAJ
It's the whole "build the thing right" vs "build the right thing": http://www.barryovereem.com/wp-content/uploads/Agile-Product-Ownership-in-a-Nutshell-drawing-by-Henrik-Kniberg.png
Just for the record, I didn't mean to blame Gitter team or anyone for bugs. I just simply share my through of what I've experienced.
