User mentions

Open tedstein opened this issue 12 years ago • 3 comments

Typing @username should pull up a list of matching user names, from which a user can select from their friends. Facebook/twitter/etc. like.

When the tagged user is looking at their stream, messages where they are tagged should be highlighted in some way.

If someone has 2 or more friends with the same user name (reminder: possible) then they should get a dialog to choose between the users.

Usability is uber-important here.

The message alerts could change their background color to a different one, and the user should get some sort of inbox notification.

InvertedVantage: I agree on both counts. We need an inbox concept. New ticket!
