feat: User Should Be Able to @mention Anyone in the Space
Current Implementation Limitations
The current implementation of @mention functionality in the space has a significant limitation. It only allows users to @mention individuals who have commented in a thread or channel. This is due to the way user data is gathered from the space. The code snippet from the +layout.svelte file reveals the current approach:
// src/routes/(app)/[[spaceIndicator=dash]]/[space=space]/+layout.svelte#L16-L32
// ...
// Fetch users who have commented in the space
const users = await fetchUsersWhoHaveCommentedInSpace(space);
// ...
However, this approach is not ideal, as it restricts the @mention functionality to only those users who have interacted with the space. This can lead to a poor user experience, especially in large spaces where not everyone may be actively participating in discussions.
Proposed Solution: Fetching Users Directly from Space Data
To overcome this limitation, we propose fetching users directly from the space data, as suggested in the TODO comment in the +layout.svelte file. This approach would allow users to @mention anyone in the space, regardless of their level of engagement.
// src/routes/(app)/[[spaceIndicator=dash]]/[space=space]/+layout.svelte#L16-L32
// ...
// Fetch all users from the space data
const users = await fetchUsersFromSpaceData(space);
// ...
By fetching users directly from the space data, we can provide a more comprehensive and inclusive @mention experience for users. This would enable users to easily find and @mention anyone in the space, even if they have not commented or interacted with the space before.
Potential Solutions and Suggestions
@zicklag may have some suggestions on how to implement this more easily. Some potential solutions could include:
- Using a more robust user data fetching mechanism: Instead of relying on the current implementation, we could use a more robust user data fetching mechanism that fetches all users from the space data.
- Implementing a user search functionality: We could implement a user search functionality that allows users to search for specific users in the space, making it easier to @mention them.
- Using a more efficient data storage solution: We could consider using a more efficient data storage solution that allows for faster and more efficient user data fetching.
Benefits of the Proposed Solution
The proposed solution of fetching users directly from the space data offers several benefits, including:
- Improved user experience: By allowing users to @mention anyone in the space, we can provide a more comprehensive and inclusive experience for users.
- Increased engagement: By making it easier for users to find and @mention others, we can increase engagement and participation in the space.
- Better data management: By fetching users directly from the space data, we can improve data management and reduce the complexity of the current implementation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the proposed solution of fetching users directly from the space data offers a more comprehensive and inclusive @mention experience for users. By implementing this solution, we can improve user experience, increase engagement, and better manage data. We look forward to exploring this solution further and implementing it in the space.
Future Work
work on this feature could include:
