Speccing out a full page chat plugin

This is awesome work, thanks! Some thoughts:

  • I wondered while playing about the way we differentiate between a ‘category’ and a ‘group’ chat. Here’s a quick mockup for something that feels intuitive to me:

Group chat:

Category chat:


  • ‘Chat’ archetype seems simple and cool. Does this mean that topics won’t appear in the topics list anymore for admins?
  • The chat button on a category seems like a great way to get into the full page chat; we’ll want a way to swap between chats once there though. I’ll have a play today to see what I can come up with there.
