Share your messaging feedback
blocked user still able to message
blocked users are still able to message people they are blocked by. I had two sessions open, one browser and one desktop. i’m thinking that because they weren’t blocked on the browser, and only on the desktop, they were still able to message.
message with unloaded video issue
videos that aren’t completely loaded don’t send with the message, but the message still sends.
deleted dm's issue
dm’s that are deleted are still shown in the message bar (under the persons username.)
Basics
Add customs emojis, be able to forward messages, add custom themes, make it so when you double click a message it auto replies to it, add custom settings like vc timer, platform indicators, a notifier when a friend or gc removes you, silent typing, in built translation (right click —> translate), voice messages, in built (youtube) ad block if possible. Also make it that these 3 symbols don’t always show up, it kind of irritates me, takes to much vision out of my screen. Also, with all due respect, please remove this tool bar above my typing column. This isn’t google docs or microsoft word, it’s flackle. Add an option to hide this or make it better. With profiles, it looks blunt / dry, add an option to change the color please. For now, that’s it, I’ll give more feedback when time is due. Keep it up. - D
Delete Button Granularity Feedback
you guys should change the delete button so instead of holding to delete you just click but add a rate limit to it so it cancels out people using purge tools Suggested by: die (366564589912985600)
Option to View All Reactors + Clear All Reactions Option
The ability to view a list of all who reacted from the “and more” - opens up a modal with a full list of who reacted Also a clear all reactions option like Discord (would be nice if it was not every reaction but granular, individual ones too)
Add the option to right click message other users in calls
we’d like it to be possible to write a message to that person and open their profile while in a call by pressing RMB. Suggested by: WhiteGod

To-do
Scheduled Messages
Allowing users to draft and schedule send messages Useful for scheduled announcements etc.
Save personal media favorites and sync them across clients
Let users bookmark their own GIFs, images, and videos in a personal collection for quick reuse in chat, and sync that collection across clients. Suggested by: clezred Staff Note: We’ve also previously discussed gif folders etc.
Add Gifs / Klipy
Add GIF support with a searchable picker so GIFs can be found and sent directly in chat. Suggested by: clezred
Custom typing-indicator emojis sometimes remain at the default
After enabling a custom typing indicator and changing its emojis, Nourdine still sees the default indicator. Other users report that custom indicators work, so the failure may depend on the account, client, or update state. Reported by: Nourdine. Additional input: cat and sudo (reported the feature working for them).
Increase or customize the glow on DM profiles
Make the glow on someone's DM profile more noticeable, or offer a setting to adjust it. Suggested by: seal
Retry link previews when a message is edited
Editing a message does not retry or refresh its link embed. Re-evaluate the link preview when the message is edited so a changed or previously failed embed can load. Reported by: seal
To-do
Custom emoji packs across servers and DMs
Add custom emoji packs that people can use throughout Flackle, including in servers and direct messages. This would let people reuse their favorite custom emojis across conversations without being limited to a single server. Suggested by: sudo. Lucas confirmed plans for emoji packs usable across servers and DMs.
