Add contact list and ability to create nicknames for said contacts client-side

[d8f6]

Your use case

Hello, I would like to have a contact list integrated into element so that I can use it like a normal im client and it is easy to use. I would also like to be able to create a user defined nickname clientside so I don't have to remember usernames. Okay, thanks.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Question is unclear. I don't understand what you mean. I have and do use other clients for instant messaging, but only because element lacks the features already mentioned above.

Additional context

I think this messenger has the potential to be the best on earth truly. Thanks for all the hard work devs.
