User Feedback & Suggestion Thread

[loch-nays]

Hello!

Since Discord is being compromised by paywalls and privacy issues, I want to encourage as many people as possible to switch to Nerimity. Its features are adjacent to Discord, it's more comfortable to use than other Discord clones, and it's easier to move people to than an IRC.

I want to share and discuss pros, cons, and suggestions as users so that we can popularize open-source projects like Nerimity instead of platforms like Discord. We shouldn't have to worry about having to subscribe to monthly plans for things as simple as color gradients or banners on our profiles, nor about having to upload our IDs and personal information just to have them leaked. By helping improve Nerimity and supporting Supertiger as an independent developer, we can easily leave Discord behind. With that being said, here are some likes, complaints, and suggestions from my friends and I. Please share your own as well!

Likes

• Open source, private, and independent
• Free banners and free profile gradients (paid pfp borders is sensible)
• HTML text option
• CSS for customized UI
• Posts
• Custom tags
• Markdown and links in statuses

Complaints

• Settings do not transfer across devices
• Receiving notifications on two devices even when one device has read them (EX: apk still notifies phone as you actively watch your friend reply to you on your laptop)
• Mobile UI does not rotate stream video to be landscape/horizontal even if phone rotates
• Call ends if you leave the mobile app, even if you don't actually close the app and are just visiting another
• Screen-streaming was buggy for a friend on mobile apk

Suggestions (Checked features have now been added. We love you, Supertiger!)

• Groupchat feature
• Add a noise suppression option to voice calls
• Hiding people that aren't friended from your feed
• Pinning messages
• Warning prompt before unadding a friend, easy misclick because it's next to the message button
• Option to start a call muted or unmuted in settings
• Ringtones for incoming calls
• Add a custom notification noise (uploading one's own audio)
• Custom text box color (The whole interface is actually customizable down to the typing indicator color, or you can just upload CSS)

Not added, but addressed

• iOS app (Apple charges $99/year and we will not harass dev about paying that lol)

Hiding people that aren't friended from your feed

You only see people you follow on your feed

I agree with all of this and am aware this post is old but again support this. :)

Adding a self view option so when in a video call you can see yourself while also seeing the other callers' cameras.
