XEP-0444: Message Reactions #554

Open foss- opened 3 years ago

foss- commented 3 years ago

Description of my issue or feature request:

Unsure if this is even a XEP, but would be awesome to allow emoji reactions to messages.

It is a feature users have come to love on Signal, iMessage and Matrix. XMPP should not be lacking in this regard.

Clicking face icon in signal opens 6 most used emojis followed by ellipses to open full emoji picker.

In this example I would react to my own message and conversation partner has already reacted with heart emoji.

One thing to consider: allow to see which user reacted with which emoji. And keep in mind this would also have to work for group chats.

signal implementation

We'll only be able to implement this once the chat ui has been rewritten using the SwiftUI framework.

Sorry for asking but whats wrong with Objective-C ?

tmolitor-stud-tu commented 9 months ago

Nothing. I was talking about the UI: that is currently using the UIKit framework + storyboards which are nearly unmaintainable. SwiftUI is much more maintainable.

unfortunately I can't find a milestone for that goal

tmolitor-stud-tu commented 9 months ago

@DanScharon We don't have future milestones documented at all and I don't think we should (given that plans change constantly and maintaining these milestones costs time not available for actual programming work etc.)
