I started working on a template manager to similarly insert text into a message.
Here’s what I have so far, but templates now all live in code.

My next step was to create a category for templates and have the template manager insert text from those topics. I can see lots of reasons to be able to insert a snippet text into messages. For example, want to add a poll creator to the composer (without installing the perfectly good plugin that does that)? Create a poll template and let users insert and edit it.
I’m new to ruby/rails/ember and am currently stuck on the next step.
