Your use case

What would you like to do?

When I browse a communication channel, I only see the time. I haven't figured out how to display the date. I'm often in doubt/frustrated as to whether it's a message from yesterday, today... ? image

On discord, for example, this is how it's displayed: image

Have you considered any alternatives?

Oh date

@t3chguy I've just seen an issue that looks pretty much the same on this repository where you've just transferred issue : https://github.com/element-hq/element-meta/issues/1230 ?

cayenne17 commented 5 months ago

after all, I prefer the way it's presented on Discord to telegram.

t3chguy commented 5 months ago

@cayenne17 yes that is similar but not quite the same, its up to the product team which owns this repo to say if they prefer one approach over the other, or offer both

As we now have #1230 and https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/issues/26925 and https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/2270 as application issues and the UI/UX might need a decision, I'll ping @vector-im/product to get some input. Possibly also some designers can decide on this to get a streamlined decision and path forward?
