Feature Priority Area
(none yet)

📋 Planned

Prioritized for upcoming phases.

  • Priority: P2
  • Category: UX / Ease of Sharing
  • Background: The invite link currently only contains the room ID. The invited person has to manually open the page. Ideally, the link would include the shared tab's URL so the invitee gets redirected to the right page and the tab is auto-selected (auto-matching via tab title already exists).
  • Known challenges:
    • Many streaming sites (e.g., Emby, Jellyfin) don't have unique URLs per content — once inside the player, the URL stays the same.
    • Dozens of such edge cases exist; a generic solution is difficult.
    • Would likely need site-specific extractor logic (similar to the existing sync service adapters).
  • Possible approaches:
    • Fallback: if no unique URL can be determined, only pass the tab title.
    • Site-specific URL extraction for known services.

💡 Backlog

Ideas and feature requests under evaluation.

In-room chat overlay (like TeleParty)

  • Priority: P3
  • Category: Social / Communication
  • Background: A collapsible chat panel to the right of the video (or as an overlay) allowing text-based communication with everyone in the room.
  • Why backlog (still uncertain):
    • Use case: No strong personal need — with chat, latency matters less than with voice; async communication tolerates a few seconds of delay.
    • Complexity: Relatively large feature (UI + message persistence + possibly history).
    • Legal/moderation: Unclear what moderation requirements would apply if users can exchange chat messages. Could be relevant depending on jurisdiction.
  • Status: Under evaluation, may come later.

Rejected

Declined features with rationale — keeps decisions documented so they don't get re-debated.
