I’d really love this. I can’t speak for my users but for me, I’m trying to find the friction I feel when using Discourse chat on mobile as compared to WhatsApp or Telegram and I think one of the main sticking points is the inability to swipe to reply. Something about longpress seems 1) hidden and 2) maybe antiquated.
I’ve thought about trying to implement a theme component that would do it but also have gained some hesitance to create themes related to chat as I created one to make the layout look more like WhatsApp and the theme kept breaking with new updates.
Is chat stable enough now to start creating more themes/components?
