Deleting uploaded files and Influx messages have been implemented. Deleting / editing any message of your own might be added down the line

A mobile web UI has already been implemented. A native app is under development.

Notify of changes in other flows
If you have multiple flows it would be really useful to see some sort of count badging around the house/home icon to show you there's been activity in another flow.

We are currently doing experiments concerning quick access of flows.

Possibility to add comments to uploaded files
It works now very nicely on influx items, so why not also on uploaded files?

This is a feature that hasn’t been implemented yet mainly because we’ve tried to keep the chatting experience as simple as possible. However, we have plans to make the chat more prominent and versatile and we’ll definitely improve the possibilities to discuss specific topics with your team.
Commenting uploaded files is the most probable addition because it’s a very common use case.

This will probably be implemented if there are a lot of votes/request for it. :)

We’re not big fans of this idea. We want to make the best tool available and want to be able to build the best experience without having to cater to a lower denominator. We might implement this kind of an integration at a later time but it would be solely to help adopting users.

Add an API
Please add an API so people can make applications which work together with Flowdock. (E.g. with a Python API some one could implement a Flowdock notifier through cloudsn for Linux, like the Mac version already has one).

We already have API to push messages to flows. We are planning to add better documented APIs to listen to messages.
You might also want to check out our nodejs package, https://github.com/flowdock/node-flowdock. It’s still in it’s early stages and the interface may change in future.

Add graphical smileys
After test-drive switch from a Skype team-chat to Flowdock, I really miss the animated smileys.
A regular ":D" is sooooo boring when compared with the animated smiley in Skype.

We’re not huge fans of graphical smileys, but let’s see how this attracts votes. :)

add support for custom group @mentions in chat
Much like @everyone, there should be a way to define custom groups of users who can be mentioned at once by evoking e.g. @devteam, @admins etc. Groups may overlap (that is, a given user may be member in 0..* groups).

We won’t ditch it, bu we’ll add a possibility to add your own avatar without using Gravatar.

Permanent delete
There must be a way to delete data permanently in order to protect business secrets. This means that there will be no backups anywhere that hold this data. Otherwise it's too much of a risk to use your service, as good as it is otherwise.

Permanent delete has been implemented for files and Influx messages, and will be implemented for all textual messages, too.

Add notification filtering to influx
Our problem is that we get tons of notifications from monitoring services to the influx. A constant flow of important stuff does not matter if it doesn't blink and distract from other work. You want only to be desktop-notified about stuff that really matters to you.
Therefore, we would tremendously benefit a desktop-notification filtering scheme, which allows persons to:
1. Add/remove a tag when influx perfoms a desktop notification - only when any of these tags is present.
2. Add/remove a tag when influx should specifically not perform a desktop notification when this tag is present.To put these in… more

create a TODO tagging mechanism
Add one more screen below flowser that would contain all items tagged as #todo or #task.
The visuals could be a hybrid of Influx and Flowser UI so that items could be filtered with #tags as in Flowser, but so that every item would have similar functionality to Influx mail messages (click to fold out, comments below). Also "assigned to" drop down menu + "current status" drop down menu should be available for every message.

We have had lots of plans for adding functionality that resembles what is described here. We will experiment with this.

Use a site's favicon for influx item icon
Currently everything coming in via RSS has a large RSS icon, making it hard to discern what the source of the item is. Why not use the favicon on the source site, or provide a way to specify one (file or url) in the case one can't be found by Flowdock.

That’s a good idea. We’ll investigate.

Build a Flowdock Chrome Extension
A simple extension that keeps track of new message count (and possible new influx items) and allows me to quickly launch my flow in a new tab.

allow influx sources to be assigned default tags
Influx sources should have the possibility for default tags, so that influx items from these sources would have some tags automatically added.

We like the idea. Will probably get done if it gets enough votes.
