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).

Is there anyway to get rid the menu? It damages the UI pretty hard.

@viktomas
@starlight-tu_gitlab Is that the windows desktop client?
gitter desktop does not show, the icon is on the tray and taskbar but the app does not show, i tried reinstall

@starlight-tu_gitlab apologies it looked some kind of missbehaviour either from windows or the app, meaning that I could finally restore the app by maximizing it, let drop this thanks

@starlight-tu_gitlab

Android version seems a bit inconvenience. There is a bug in GUI which I want to share a screenshot but I couldn't because the Gitter lack of btn to do so.
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.
Thanks @pdurbin. Recently there has been a handful of projects considering moving away from Gitter. The Gitter team can only hope that the new features we are working on are going to land in time to tip the scales back to Gitter.

Sure. For what it's worth, I'm still considering switching to Gitter (from IRC). Are there any search features coming? A poor search experience seems to come up a lot.
Tomas
@viktomas
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)
Philip Durbin
@pdurbin
Thanks, I'm surprised search improvements don't get more thumbs up.
Do users know how important it is to upvote issues?
Tomas
@viktomas
Maybe we could implement some kind of welcome message (or context menu item) to nudge people to give the Gitter team feedback by thumbing up issues that bother them.
Philip Durbin
@pdurbin
Do you treat all thumbs up equally? Whether from a key decision maker from the Jupyter project or some rando like me?
Tomas
@viktomas
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.
Philip Durbin
@pdurbin
Is this explained somewhere? How important voting is?
Similarly to you, we don't have a formalized process about how exactly/how much the votes contribute to our planning process. The votes are something I'm looking at and since they're roughly in sync with our roadmap I haven't given it much thought.
