This would enable integrations with third-party tools (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, or content feeds), similar to webhook functionality on platforms like Discord. sug_ymjtoxmxmumiyjl 2026-01-08T19:04:57Z 2026-02-15T20:12:23Z move someone from one vc to another sug_miayhccme1e0vr8 2025-11-03T22:01:14Z 2025-11-05T17:37:57Z Suggestion to add an application feature? it made it so much easier when someone needed to apply for a role like twitch mod, etc. :0 Also ignore the made questions in the photo, they are custom made from the community i’m in. sug_uykjyg4xh2hd0ek 2025-11-02T23:46:34Z 2025-11-05T17:38:04Z It would be nice if you could see someone's online status in Group Dms Currently, you can't see that automatically; you have to do an extra click to see that sug_v3bif62tgm3fq4s 2025-11-02T12:34:35Z 2025-11-05T17:39:05Z sug_6e9hznevtyufdhk 2025-10-31T17:01:21Z 2025-11-29T04:11:43Z Add the Linux appimages to the download page, with an experimental tag. This will prevent possible cases of people asking when will Root for Linux come out. sug_bhag2jmpfx3eplk 2025-10-28T12:26:07Z 2025-11-05T17:41:29Z The scroll bar is too small to drag, making Windows think I want to resize the window horizontally. Also touchpad 2 finger scrolling sometimes doesn't work on Root even when it does on other apps. sug_yvygpqhukdhxgu4 2025-10-28T05:35:01Z 2025-11-05T17:40:49Z Just like on Discord or Guilded, holding shift allows you to show additional options including deleting the message by only clicking once the appeared delete button rather than navigating through the 3 dots menu, delete button and confirm, which is a very painful process when deleting multiple messages. sug_usujlkypkkue2rt 2025-10-25T14:35:21Z 2025-11-05T17:41:36Z For example DMs could be a tab or a window like how Steam does. It would be useful if you are gaming and want to quickly DM someone from the other side of your screen or you could put the DM separately on a separate monitor. sug_aknqso9pple4kn7 2025-10-24T18:42:22Z 2025-10-27T19:57:31Z Be able to search the auto-convert format of the emojis in the emoji menu, so when you are in the emoji menu search for ":)" will give you "🙂" sug_rotciwx0cwc2uek 2025-10-24T12:18:33Z 2025-10-27T19:56:43Z Let chromebooks be able to run Root on the Appstore sug_lxxtpi6lvy6tqdw 2025-10-24T12:17:15Z 2026-03-13T17:42:45Z Dont run root on startup, make a button in the settings to toggle it off sug_6gu9celivfvvot8 2025-10-22T23:46:03Z 2025-10-27T19:57:44Z [UI Suggestion] Device: iPhone 16 App Version: Build Zero 0.9.7.16 Issue: When swiping from the left edge on iOS, the app doesn’t go back to the previous page. Instead, it triggers the “reply to message” gesture, which often leads to mis-taps. Suggestion: Please support the native iOS back-swipe gesture for navigation, or adjust the reply-swipe detection area to avoid gesture overlap. sug_uizvol6cesrakrc 2025-10-22T16:28:08Z 2025-10-23T19:29:12Z Personally, I think it'd be nicer if there was a setting to toggle whether clicking on a message makes you reply to it, so, if disabled, clicking on a message does nothing and the cursor is just normal, but, if enabled (default) then clicking on a message DOES make you reply to it, as the current behaviour is. sug_tgkrzcddd70nbgv 2025-10-22T14:41:01Z 2025-10-23T19:29:26Z If there is an unread message then make it blue, if there is an unread ping or DM then make it red. Or you could add a number if it's pings/DMs. sug_cwanohtzicdbm8y 2025-10-19T18:38:52Z 2025-10-23T19:30:08Z At the moment, the root tablet app is just the mobile app stretched out to fit the screen, It would be nice if we have a more optimized experience on tablets!! (preferably similar to the desktop app) sug_uzpqvniiefurd2o 2025-10-18T15:47:15Z 2025-10-23T19:30:25Z A method to reload/refresh the Root desktop client would be pretty good, as an alternative to fully closing Root (from Task Manager if you have Close to tray on) and re-opening it. The ideal way to implement this is by binding a key for it, obviously. As per the standard, the recommended way (on Windows) would be binding CTRL + R (and/or F5) to this function. Later down the line for Root, key binding would possibly be implemented into the app, allowing users to re-bind the key anyway! sug_t4wmfdrnpvfu1ve 2025-10-17T19:55:17Z 2025-11-05T17:41:10Z Introduce Role Styles, allowing roles to have enhanced visual customization options such as gradients, holographic effects, and other styles - similar to Discord. This would make roles more distinctive and visually appealing, helping communities express their identity more creatively. sug_bvjmjofg6cdsabl 2025-10-17T19:44:05Z 2025-10-23T19:38:03Z Introduce custom role icons that allow roles to be visually represented with small icons next to usernames, similar to Discord and Guilded. This would make roles more recognizable at a glance and enhance community identity. sug_serslbzopjaxlhd 2025-10-17T12:57:03Z 2025-10-17T16:42:04Z Add a pop-up announcement feature for the community. It should allow admins to broadcast important news or updates to all users when they log in or open the app. Ideally, it supports short text, links, and optional visuals, with dismiss or “read more” options. Also have the option to enable/disable this feature in Community settings. sug_jl8zxyu7ghoytf2 2025-10-16T22:50:12Z 2025-10-17T16:42:13Z Once the mobile keyboard is opened, allow it to close by scrolling up in chat, or add a small "---" that can be swiped to bring the keyboard down sug_stgyzhiviuzq8a0 2025-10-16T22:21:27Z 2025-10-17T16:42:18Z Instead of something like, "Head-Developer" you would have "Head Developer". Currently doesn't allow us to add spaces. sug_gtu8opdmykd7kjj 2025-10-16T20:49:43Z 2025-10-17T16:42:25Z When a typing indicator is displayed under a text channel's text box, the users always have a default (or white, depending on theme) name colour. It should instead show the name with the appropriate highest role's colour, as shown in chat. sug_u9rshkjthx1t7cx 2025-10-16T00:17:33Z 2025-10-17T16:44:16Z It would be nice to be able to organize the servers and tabs into folders that you can enter/expand upon clicking. It adds an extra level of organization that I think we really would need. sug_1wx0qiskqd9tq31 2025-10-14T03:09:18Z 2025-10-14T14:49:42Z A short description of the role when clicked/tapped, set up by the role creator to quickly explain the purpose of the role. sug_crszhnd1ypn0lqe 2025-10-13T00:56:54Z 2025-10-13T23:26:30Z A channel that gives a full overview for the server as a default channel. Member count, announcements, games, "about" section, connections to community pages like X, Reddit, etc. sug_uprdirnabqagtsy 2025-10-13T00:54:09Z 2025-10-13T23:26:37Z I really liked having a full profile page like guilded did, with posted games, connections, and a feed as well. sug_ggrsasjujlvn6cz 2025-10-13T00:34:02Z 2025-10-13T23:26:39Z Extremely important sug_80kzpnokef7mrit 2025-10-12T15:51:21Z 2025-10-13T23:27:12Z List of public communities that users can browse through or search to find specific ones. See also "Set Community as Public or Private". sug_r3hbafoqpdhxow5 2025-10-10T15:05:26Z 2026-03-13T17:40:14Z When entering a voice channel, add the ability to adjust each user’s volume sug_515l5tzmditkf54 2025-10-10T06:33:08Z 2025-10-10T22:20:36Z Have a togglable option to have collapsible servers that aren't in focus. sug_maa4wsglkzb6wd9 2025-10-08T23:12:43Z 2025-10-13T23:28:06Z If not Markdown then some kind of comprehensive text editing that would allow us to create tables and structure messages or content as we like. sug_qqs8x8xahnn1wmi 2025-10-08T16:17:43Z 2025-10-13T23:28:16Z Little effects when reaching a milestone on a reaction. Like confetti when a message hits 10/50/100/so on reacts of the same type. sug_cwazo1rkyosgn4f 2025-10-08T14:46:21Z 2025-10-10T22:21:33Z i would love to beable to switch to headphone audio or switch back to my phone speaker or audio device sug_qxsdzugfm6esy5g 2025-10-08T12:35:46Z 2025-10-13T23:28:22Z A fully black theme for mobile devices (maybe for desktoo too) sug_qiulg1bytqo1zcp 2025-10-08T11:43:44Z 2025-10-10T22:21:46Z A feature that lets you record your microphone to send a voice message. Can be available for both mobile and desktop. sug_h0jvmsjb6nqmbwh 2025-10-08T11:21:08Z 2025-10-13T23:28:30Z A reporting feature that lets users report other users for breaking Root's Community Guidelines. sug_wsuqv7jvytdnicl 2025-10-08T10:59:37Z 2025-10-10T22:23:03Z A date that shows when a Root account was registered, and/or when a Root account joined a specific community. sug_u0dvhc37fw1lpat 2025-10-08T08:52:14Z 2025-10-10T22:23:26Z Maybe an addition to the profile bio vote here. Add a field which shows which communities you share with someone. Possibly also add that view in a new chat with that person sug_pneybn2vlqooxob 2025-10-07T21:07:07Z 2025-10-10T22:23:33Z Being able to test your microphone or camera inside of the app. sug_zqkfhf5jm5l0o3q 2025-10-07T19:15:58Z 2025-10-10T22:23:46Z Will be useful for quoting messages since replies aren't there yet. Plus, you can do this on desktop already, so why not on mobile? sug_62dipqavwpjdgdb 2025-10-07T19:02:13Z 2025-10-10T22:23:51Z Just steal the idea from discord, too many things need to be done in order to get to the member list, would be appriciated but not a priority sug_5ls2mip1xtuknk7 2025-10-07T15:51:05Z 2025-10-14T02:27:03Z Layered Voice channels enabling command structure to voice 'talk-throughs' with leads from other teams. sug_cxfchueejtfrdbq 2025-10-07T08:29:35Z 2025-10-10T22:24:18Z Add a "Do you want to turn on your camera" check, possibly with a camera preview sug_huhqicbn1prmuzx 2025-10-07T07:56:57Z 2025-10-13T23:29:11Z In discord you can export existing server structures as template and add that into other servers, or programs which accept this format (see guilded), automatically building the whole server sug_4lf8ojl88ohyocn 2025-10-05T09:49:57Z 2025-10-14T02:26:18Z A way to invite users on Root to communities without having to friend them and use the "Invite to community" context menu action. Common ways: - Using the "root://" protocol? (i.e: root://community/<community ID or invite code> / root://invite/<invite code>) - Invite links: as Root doesn't have a web client, this might be a tricky one. Not completely sure how this would work, but those are my ideas. Overall, just need a way to directly invite users to communities. (without friending them) sug_9zy5xhrfx8c3ndo 2025-10-05T07:27:31Z 2025-10-10T22:24:38Z Pretty self-explanatory. On Guilded, we could open a direct message thread to ourselves. This was actually quite handy for keeping scratch notes and hosting links/embeds, since it didn't require the creation of a personal server to that end. sug_5zytr7xhpvvi0ls 2025-10-04T21:03:08Z 2025-10-14T02:28:23Z - Ability to mute and amplify audio devices, - Microphone volume/functionality test, - Microphone input sensitivity; sug_4l6b2bxfgol3pnn 2025-10-04T20:56:48Z 2025-10-14T02:28:30Z end to end encryption in DM, servers, and calls would be nice sug_mk7q0lmaujrwevg 2025-10-04T20:55:06Z 2025-10-14T02:29:03Z Notification with sound when someone sends a message in a channel. Ideally, you could choose which channel you want to receive notifications from.
