In order to increase Rocket.chat adoption, its really important that users are able to easily send an invite to rocket.chat to their friends. The standard way to do this on mobile phones is for the Invite button to list the users contacts from their address book and then for the user to choose that…

Actually this is exactly what Kik does. It uses the “share” functionality and then allows the user to send the following via whatever app they want: Hey! I’m on Kik - my username is “bizzbyster” kik.me/bizzbyster . I’d like to see this same feature in Rocket chat but can do it in my fork and then t…

I think the biggest pain point for explaining RocketChat to newbies is that it isn’t just one centralized server, so joining open.rocket.chat after looking up RocketChat doesn’t mean they’re going to be able to speak with the community of our server.

What about adopting Discords invite feature where it creates a time sensitive (that is adjustable) link to the server. However in RocketChats case, the link would need to link to a sign-up page for the server. Another thing to consider is to how to manage this feature with private communities that …

In my opinion the Rocket.chat client should skip the part about prompting the user for a server URL and just login to open.rocket.chat. See All users connect to open.rocket.chat by default and Combining multi-server view in Rocket.chat client .

All, I think firebase dynamic links are a really cool way to send users an invite that then prompts them to install the app and then takes them to a DM with the inviting user. Or to a group or to a DM with a bot. But I know that others are working on some of this deep linking ( https://rocket.chat/d…

I think we have something kind of similiar in progress. Not as short. But basically extending deeplink. Being able to have a link like: go.rocket.chat/room?host=foo.bar.com&rid=1234&path=group/important

Thanks @aaron.ogle . That’s good to know. That appears to be a different mechanism from what is documented here: https://rocket.chat/docs/developer-guides/deeplink/ . I’m going to start another thread specific to deep linking.

@aaron.ogle Agree with you. Defining standard host url for Rocket.Chat is required for Android implementation. Because app provides multi server functionality. In android to implement deep linking we need to provide intent-filters for the host in advance, which in multi server app is not possible(be…
