Spoiler feature proposal [click to reveal multimedia sent with content warning]

[JoeMcNuggets]

Hello!

It would be nice, if there was an option to hide picture or video with some sort of order. For example:

• sender check “hide with spoiler” option
• receiver sees attachment hidden with blur or placeholder and a button “press to show”
• receiver taps the button and attachment is shown

NSFW/Sensitive/spoiler/clickthrough flag attached image/video(s)

It would be useful to be able to mark images in a message “sensitive” so that they require clickthrough or some other mechanism to reveal the image. This is a UI feature not a security feature, it’s just so the uploader can indicate that the recipient might want to have the choice to see the image. additional components for consideration: a group can automatically sensitive-flag all image/video uploads. a user can mark another user to always sensitive-flag their uploads for just that user (en…

Basic Markdown support when writing messages [blockquote, bold, italics]

It would be great if “>” and paragraph that follows it is interpreted as quoted paragraph. Similar with “**” for bold text, “*” for italics.

Markdown support for DC-Android and DC-iOS

Expected behavior DC-Android and DC-iOS support markdown. Actual behavior DC-Android and DC-iOS do not support markdown. Explanation Text formatting, along with the use of emojis, is a great way to make parts of a message or the message itself stand out. Therefore, many messengers support it. For example WhatsApp, Telegram, Threema and Signal. Unfortunately, the situation in DC is inconsistent. DC-Desktop supports markdown, but unfortunately the other versions do not yet. I use markdown, amon…

"Markdown" support in chat

The basics like bold, italics, underlined and strikethrough should be enough.

The sender of the message decides whether the message should be rendered using Markdown

Currently, in the advanced settings, the recipient of a message can choose whether to use Markdown to render the message. I think this can be modified so that the sender of the message decides whether their message needs to be rendered using Markdown. If needed, Markdown rendering will be automatically applied at the receiving end. In a chat page, whether my outgoing messages are rendered using Markdown is determined by my settings. As for messages sent to me by others, whether they are rendere…

I agree that is a nice feature, I even suggested a workaround for developers of webxdc apps:

@Blanca

A “content warning” app to provide a simple clickthrough feature for sensitive content as a workaround until Delta Chat includes this as a native feature as requested here. The app can simply let the person who shares the app enter some text or upload some image or video and display this to everyone who opens the app.

How about sending your image using the existing image album webxdc as an alternative? That would similarly require a click to open.

Webxdc being used as for image albums and spoilers feels like an anti-pattern to me. I’d rather wait for these things to be in the client than to make a user raise their eyebrows at a workaround app.
