Hey,

So I’ve been using Glide to test out my idea. But my idea really needs a private chat feature. Yes, there are multiple tutorials showcasing how to do it, but they are just hacks, I would very much prefer if there was a private chat feature with a good interface, provided by Glide, like there’s a Global Chat option.

I just wanted to know the tentative date that Glide has in mind for releasing this feature.

I envision this working exactly like the comments thread component, but with the interface of the chat screen. This chat component would let you choose a topic just like the comments component so that way users of your app can have an individualized chat experience. The benefit of having a chat component over a comments component is that the chat comp…

Yeah, I saw that earlier, just upvoted. There have been replies on it from 2020, but there seems to be no update on the problem. Hence the post out of frustration.

Well, I’ve upvoted, hope that the feature comes soon.
