Contents

Objectives

Show a list of users in the room
Find a user to start a private conversation
- Try to be clever about the sorting so you mostly don't have to search
Mark people as favorites to get notifications and so forth about their presence.

See who have recently joined the channel
- You may be waiting for someone to join the channel..
  - It is hard to track who joined a channel when there is an ongoing conversation, even people we would emit status messages for.

- Maybe that is already covering all the status emmission we need?

Differentiates between online and offline users and joining and leaving a room. Emits join and leave messages in chatview, albeit not very often because its less common.
In contrast, there is no differentiation in IRC so you get lots of join/leave messages.

Implies that there is some usefulness in sorting by name, which in this case there isn't..it is always faster to just search.

Design is only applicable if there indeed is a use case for sorting after activity. -bastianilso
Otherwise, sorting can be dropped and then only the favorite view becomes relevant. -bastianilso
