Plugin Request - Sorting Channels like Discord Servers into Folders #860

Open xgpt opened 1 year ago

xgpt commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm often overwhelmed by the chatter of many IRC channels. It would be nice if I could chuck a bunch of high-volume channels into a folder (like ##ubuntu/##Linux/etc) into a single folder and make rules for notifications (name ping only).

On the flip side, there are teensy tiny channels with a handful of users, and I'd like to never miss any messages there, I'd like to keep those separate from folders or perhaps lump them into a "super notification" folder.

Describe the solution you'd like

Folders/Tags for channels that allow for increased configurability of notifications and additionally to visually declutter a busy channel list.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've seen this with some GUI clients, but I can't recall which. Additionally, I'm not sure if I've seen such a function in a web client before.

Additional context

n/a

Sounds like a good idea! PR is welcome, but you might want to draft some ideas first and discuss them in the official #convos channel.
