Add ability to expand and interact with room topic in join room screen

Open marwing opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In the join room screen, the room topic is limited to 3 lines, without the ability to show the remaining content or open embedded links.

Describe the solution you'd like Provide a way to expand the topic, similar to the room details screen. The expansion should also make links clickable.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternative Problem
Joining the room first and checking the topic after I can't check the room info before joining
Use another client This is undesirable because this is a lot of overhead and I would need to somehow get the room alias/id into the other client
Just don't care about the topic Sometimes I do
Make a screenshot and let iOS extract links This works reasonably well for links that are fully visible, but is obviously not viable long-term and only addresses part of the problem

Additional context Example screen with cut of topic IMG_4132

This is more relevant than ever now that spaces are here and a supported way to explore new rooms.
