Description

There are at least a dozen issues relating to the design of Riot being too user unfriendly, and that people are suggesting designs similar to established apps like Discord and Slack.
(Please post related issues in this page for further discussion)

Issue Types:

  • Better Communities (AKA Discord "servers")
  • Seamless E2E with better UX
  • Better "unread messages" with ping as primary type
  • Tag-based user and mod/admins types (similar to Discord)
  • Mumble as a default widget (instead of Jitsi as it is bad on mobile)
  • (others not included in the list above)

I have been a Riot user for about one and a half years, and I would hope for these features to give people a better user experience (features recommended from friends in Discord)

  • Room feature support
    • Custom server-based and room-based emojis
      • Have custom server emojis downloaded and be usable as a basic feature
    • Emoji collection sharing
      • Similar to Telegram, Messenger, LINE and Whatsapp, but shareable and if possible, self-hosted or user-hosted
    • Emoji reaction for texts and files (useful for voting)
    • Automated (non-manual) key sharing
      • Some people are sick of needing to sharing key every time someone gets in the room, they would like to have auto key sharing once in an E2E room
    • Multi-room search
  • Community support
    • Community id generation
    • Community room mass generation
    • Community room searching
    • Community multi-admin multi-mod support
    • Community and sub-community sort
  • Role and access support
    • Mass room invitation by role or community
      • invitation to a server once application is approved
    • Mass room banning/kicking by role or community
      • for when "unfavorable" behavior by certain users happen
    • Community room sub-categorization and access
      • for visitor vs club member vs club staff separation
    • Role application and removal
      • for upgrading users to automatically bring them to certain rooms
    • Announcement rooms by role
      • rooms that allows viewing but not posting unless it is staff
    • Reaction allowance by role
      • for voting by certain role but not others
  • audio chat support
    • self-host SIP room support (tying SIP with server)
    • self-host Mumble room support (tying Mumble with server)
    • Radio/Playlist bot support
  • collaborative support
    • self-host Etherpad/Firepad support (tying *pad with server)
    • self-host Hackmd support (tying Hackmd with server)

@ptman I would say emoji collections are like stickerpack but hosted differently. It should be more fluid, room or server-specific and easy to trade (as a standard file), and also add (if you are a mod/admin)

Still, basic community management is not in Riot Android

@ptman that is good progress... but for the other suggestions those features are equally important. Is it possible to get this on spec?

Community support

Unsure what you mean here but communities need an overhaul. But here's an interesting issue:
matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#1215

audio chat support

Jitsi is supported in client right now. Could look a bit better but it works.

self-host Mumble room support (tying Mumble with server)

Nothing stops you from hosting a mumble server and using the mumble web UI as a widget.

Radio/Playlist bot support

You could again just make a radio website and have it as a widget.. Or write a jitsi bot, or a mumble bot or what you want to do.

self-host Etherpad/Firepad support (tying *pad with server)
self-host Hackmd support (tying Hackmd with server)

Both of these are also widgettable. And you can just add them to the integration manager. Just like you can self host jitsi through dimension.

Please make Mumble and/or SIP as a default widget as their apps works in mobile better.

Both of these are also widgettable. And you can just add them to the integration manager. Just like you can self host jitsi through dimension.

If you don't verify each other keys there is no way to know who wrote the key, or to who you are encryting the message to. A web of trust thing might be neat, but it still requires some amount of verification.

A lot of these features are already listed, and its important to realize that matrix isn't discord

No? You can make mumble or whatever you mean by "SIP" default in your client when people hit the call button. Other people can use what

Google docs is just a default widget in Vector-im's hosted proprietary integration manager which they use on riot.im. When you self-host riot, you will use your own integration manager like for example your self hosted dimension to customize what your default widgets will be. That is the matrix standard way to do this.

Using riot.im you can also just use the custom widget button to add your stuff. Don't confuse riot.im with matrix 😃

If you don't verify each other keys there is no way to know who wrote the key, or to who you are encrypting the message to. A web of trust thing might be neat, but it still requires some amount of verification.

In private Discord servers, people are generally invited by the mod/admin to guarantee trust, and if that gets compromised, they move. In Matrix/Riot constant key-signing becomes annoying, so people would rather prefer Discord.

Most people will only download apps from an "official site" so you really shouldn't expect people to make alternatives, rather make widgets be more available than ever.

You obviously don't understand how cryptography works, what you are describing is NOT e2e, so just don't use e2e if you don't want to use e2e. A web of trust system again could be neat. but SOME verification must be done.

@dali99 I would say it is a different kind of E2E with a "web of trust" based key distribution.

@Half-Shot put the search button outside of the room view, basically next to settings or user/room/community selection.

@DonaldTsang I've been using Jitsi for voice calling my wife and it works like a charm on mobile. They will be adding push-to-talk to riot soon as well ( element-hq/element-web#5993 ). So I think it's fine.

Tag-based user and mod/admins types (similar to Discord)

...

Role and access support

...

Community room sub-categorization and access

for visitor vs club member vs club staff separation

I was looking for an issue for this; not because I want Matrix to be more like Discord, but because I think it makes sense especially given how often Matrix rooms are bridged right now, and separating "virtual" bot users from other services and actual Matrix users would go a long way to preventing clutter and confusion.

@DonaldTsang

@trosel agreed.

@tmladek I would say that people have put a lot of work to make Discord usable compared to Matrix (since they have more funding)

@Kellegram
Copy link

Agreed. Copy what's good, improve on what's subpar. No need to reinvent the wheel, Discord does a lot of things good from UI standpoint, but also does many things poorly, which is unsolvable by it being closed-source, centralized and catering to the folk that are indifferent as long as it hand holds them enough.

As a meta-issue, maybe it'd make sense to update the issue description with related issues for all of the checkboxes? It'd probably lead to much more productive discussion, as there would be a summarized single-source-of-truth, and people wouldn't need to go hunting in the comments for the current state of these topics.

I've only done a bit of searching, but here are some of my findings for existing related proposals:

  • [MSC2545] proposes custom emojis (<img> tags that render as emoticons), and associated functionality (such as making them room-based or community-based)
  • Community support is weird, since communities in element are a bit jankey. What element calls "communities" is actually an undocumented matrix feature called "groups". The fact that they're undocumented isn't the only thing causing the jank either - the API itself has some issues. As such, the proposal I'd personally point to as the way forward is [MSC1772], which rebrands groups as "spaces", and proposes that we represent them as rooms with special properties, instead of representing them as their own custom object. This would make things easier to work with for developers. Related is the proposal here to support [MSC1772] in element.io, over the current groups API. Alongside this, IMO , [MSC2946] would also be important, as it would provide an API for gathering high level information about the organization of a space, which would be useful for performing actions on an entire space recursively, and not just on its immediate children rooms.
  • Audio Chat is mentioned in matrix-org/matrix-doc#2851, but it's mentioned as an in-house thing, rather than a fuller third-party integration thing (e.g. via mumble or jitsi). I think there was also experimentation done with WebRTC, so using WebRTC is certainly something that's possible. matrix-org/matrix-doc#2903 proposes a voice / voip room, which would function more similarly to what we'd think of as a 'voice channel' in discord. A completely unrelated implementation of Voice channels can be seen over in the matrix-react-sdk project. AFAIK this uses jitsi to implement voice channels. For sure show your support over there cause I think it's one of the only recent experiments with a voice channels, as opposed to just doing a call within a room. However, because the PR is part of the react sdk, it's really just UI, and not baked into the matrix server itself. It might be wise to think about submitting a supporting MSC so voice channels could have an official API, rather than be delegated to a UI element. It's important that the api can recognize a room as a "voice room" - maybe the api would support backends for the delivery of the voice, such as WebRTC, jitsi, mumble, etc? I couldn't find any existing proposals like that, though.
  • Wasn't mentioned in the issue desc but [MSC2199] proposes first-class DMs

In general, we also definitely shouldn't be relying on this issue for discussion. The way I see it, all of these topics should be given sub-issues of their own in the relevant channels so they can be implemented more quickly.

I'm super new to the matrix ecosystem, so I personally find it difficult to decide where to post proposals / issues often. For those of you who want to help write out proposals for these topics & link them back to here, here's what I've sussed out so far:

  • Detailed proposals for new features that tie into matrix's SDK should probably go in matrix-doc, as most of the features that are implemented in the matrix sdk's seem to come from these MSC's.
  • UI proposals that would probably need to be available to all matrix webclients should go in matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk
  • Recommendations for the element.io webapp or the element.io desktop app should go here, in element-web

Mumble

self-host Mumble room support (tying Mumble with server)

Nothing stops you from hosting a mumble server and using the mumble web UI as a widget.

I am interested in having a voice chat room on my matrix server. It sounds as though mumble can facilitate this?

If so would it show up as a room in element?

I am not afraid of trying something a little outside of the box if the end result is being able to jump into a voice room and immediately being able to voice listen or voice talk with others, without the need to be invited into a call, etc.

I would then be able to pull some friends from discord and onto my matrix server.

I have setup a mumble server before on my linux server, i have just never tried to integrate mumble with matrix.

@Xekon, that won't be that easy. You would need something like matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#4400 which is probably terribly outdated at the moment. You would essentially need to re-write that PR for Mumble and then probably maintain your fork of Element because I have my doubts about this getting merged upstream. Upstream plans Matrix-based voice/video rooms at some point, so this would be an effort that would lead to something that would get replaced eventually. Though now that I think of it, I've heard of an Element fork that already does this. I'd try asking in the Element Web/Desktop room maybe someone there can give you directions. In general this question probably should be there rather than here, since this is an issue tracker, not a support forum.

I think matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2545 is meant. On the other hand, mumble is currently rewriting its core (i think) and it should be easier to implement this afterwards. https://github.com/mumble-voip/
Voice-Channels would should have priority above sticker packs :)

Hey all, is it possible to also consider the deafen feature? Deafen mutes the user's audio output and mutes all incoming audio from group calls just for the deafened user, convenient feature that should be straightforward to add.

element-hq/element-call#223 and element-hq/element-call#174 would be nice extensions to the now-merged matrix-org/matrix-spec#730

Could "Increase vertical density of new room list element-hq/element-web#14099" be added to this meta-issue? I think this is one big drawback compared to Discord's UX right now.

Compare the visual density of Element:

vs. a similar Discord channel organization capabilities:

Well, Discord is also adding a few ideas from Element, for example, the ability to selectively hide guild channels.

Moving this issue to discussions in Element meta as we need to make a cross platform decision on how to proceed 👍

I personally prefer the way element is structured, but permissions that are for all the rooms in a space would be great.

Tag based pings would be wonderful to have. We have recently been flooded with scammers and tagging individual moderators has become a daunting task. Please re-consider adding this feature.
