Currently working on implementing user status messages. This is a feature request I have had for a while. Decided over the weekend to start working on it myself.

Here’s a pull request for it:

> <https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/12710>

If it gets merged into develop, or if the community likes the idea, I’ll help solidify it more into the UI and other places inside Rocket (like hovering over a person’s name).

Here are some previews of what it looks like right now.

(edit: new users can only post one image per post. You can see more preview images on the pull request linked above)

This is pretty sweet! I can see this being useful to help convey info like. “At TDC conference”. Or something of nature so people would realize you are likely not going to answer in a timely manner 🙂
