Feature: Pick up Starred Groups|Users|Chats #7

Closed wwb closed 7 years ago

wwb commented 7 years ago

I'm in a ton of slack groups within our org and such and I use the starring feature heavily. It would be cool if #clicky pulled those groups in and put them in the top of the list like the typical slack client does, making it easy to share things to the people I share things with most.

Thanks for making a handy plugin!

Interesting idea, thanks for the feedback. Definitely something I'll consider adding in a future release :smile:.

Closing this for now as it doesn't appear that you're able to star channels/groups/anything in Slack currently.

First no issue with the close -- if I cared that much I should probably submit a PR :)

That said I'm a bit shocked by the assertion you can't star things in slack. Your comment might be in reference to the API which I can't claim to have reviewed, but at least in the thick and web clients you can star just about any entity -- be it a channel, a user, a chat or even an individual post.

Ok great, upon further inspection it looks like the is_starred property isn't returned by Slack's API unless it's set to true (annoyingly inconsistent with everything else in their API, but there you go), which explains why I'd not seen it before.

Shouldn't be a problem then, I'll implement a Starred section which can be enabled from the Settings page. :+1:
