In the course of Whatsup like message delivered/seen information @imadam had the idea of developing a feature that indicates the priority of a message.
I think before we open an issue about that, we should work out the details of how this should work. Here’s my first take on it:
-
on editing a message, one would need a kind of possibility to select the priority of a message, for the sake of simplicity, we should define 1 to (ideally) 3 to max 5 priorities - making this configurable is not worth the effort, I think
-
the selected priority would need to represented by some kind of color coding or labelling (I prefer the labelling)
-
I think to make this feature REALLY powerfull, one should be able to select notification preferences based on message priority. otherwise there I see no real use for the whole thing
This means being able to select something like
- do not notify me
- except for messages of priority X and above
- set reasonable defaults for normal users
Cheers
