  • Original ref: #3954
  • Frontend follow-up to #16509

API:

  • Dashboard widget as an option to see messages scheduled for the next X days?
  • File shares and other rich objects?
  • Reply to original thread message doesn't have a parent
  • #16777
  • If there is an upcoming scheduled message less than 24 hours from now the buttons turns into a secondary button
  • actorDisplayName is missing (although the question is if we really need it, as we only schedule messages for ourselves?)

Frontend:

  • Client should periodically check for timed out messages (to not render them in client)?
  • 3 messages scheduled to be sent in aria-label for the toggle or more visible hint?
  • mentions migh be rendered (from available data)?
  • mentions hint should not be shown when editing scheduled message
  • If there is an upcoming scheduled message less than 24 hours from now the buttons turns into a secondary button?
  • Scheduled thread replies should indicate they are aiming at some thread
  • Visibility of 'Show scheduled messages' toggle (disappears when the input field is focused / filled / in call / in sidebar)?
  • Visibility of Input field when showing scheduled messages (should be hidden / disabled)?
  • When error, appearance of toggle button should be changed (error variant)
  • When error, failed messages should be shown differently (currently as temp messages)
  • In the list of scheduled messages show "Send at" in the date separators, so Send at December 18th
  • the appearance of toggle button is animated (input field shrinks and button appears)
  • already visible toggle button should have a little animation to confirm that the message was scheduled
  • Scheduled message view should block regular send and only allow scheduled message creation
  • Retain schedule timestamps between conversation switch, like mesage drafts
