Support for spaces

[ptman]

At least read-only would be useful.

I was thinking one simple way of doing this could be via the existing tagging feature? Possibly just automatically putting all channels in a space under a tag. Since channels can be under multiple tags this might be enough? However, displaying the space channel in a different way might be a nice addition, or even just having a /toggle to hide them from the channel-list

What I'd like to see is for spaces to appear alongside rooms, but they would have some kind of icon to differentiate them. When navigated to, a list of rooms in the space would appear where the chat would otherwise be, and you can click on the room names to navigate to them. The pros of this approach are that the member list and topic are visible, but the con is that not all rooms would appear in the room list.

The other way I thought about was having spaces be drop-down menus in the room list. They would be collapsible, and subspaces can appear nested in their parent space. The pro of this approach is that all the rooms are in the room list, but the cons are that the member list and topic are inaccessible.

wonder if the ui could be designed similar to folders and how ranger handles it ?

I was also thinking about adding another column on the left that allows toggling through spaces. The ranger idea is not bad. I would prefer that more than tags, however, this will eat even more of the screen space.
