Option to reverse messages order

Open azrel6 opened this issue 4 months ago • 4 comments

It feels very natural to have latest messages at bottom, like all other popular apps like telegram, viber, whatsapp, rocketchat, nextcloud talk... I think one option in settings could do this

Hi, thanks for the feedback. It seems like a UI preference issue, I will open an rfc on this first to gauge interest .

I personally feel top down list is more normal for notifications, all major operating systems I know of list notifications where the most recent and highest priority comes on the top.

I currently use telegram for notifications, but I want to transfer to self hosted solution. I think that I tried all possibile solutions, and see gotify as most suitable. I really like the img integration, and reverse proxy is working flawlessly in comparation to ntfy. With only a few gui polishing it could be a perfect replacement for telegram, in my personal opinion of course.

I am glad you are liking it so far, I am not a frontend expert so I can't fix this right now, this (and a couple other UI preference related issues) seems to point to a meta issue that we need a "setting" page.

I am totally open to someone in the community or Jannis opening a PR though.

Likely related: https://github.com/gotify/server/issues/552, though not exactly, as this ticket probably want's to start the message view scrolled to the bottom.
