Room settings and glimpse of Custom emojis
Published on February 10, 2022 by Krishan

Hello everyone, Hope you are doing great!

Last to last week we pushed another update of Cinny which includes so many exciting things like room settings and a glimpse of custom emoji (or should we call them emotes? God knows which one is correct. :P)

Breaking things into details, now room settings almost has feature parity with the Element (the reference client). It includes room search, history and room visibility options, managing room addresses, enabling encryption, managing permissions and change name, topic, avatar. Moderation options such as kick, ban are also available in user profile.
In case of custom emojis, we now support showing those sent from other clients (in a fancy way, called Jumbo emojis). We also supply displaying custom emojis in emojiboard that has been added in room or account by other clients. Just to clarify that there's no way to add custom emojis in room or account from Cinny yet.

And to give you an idea of next release, we are working on landing full space support in Cinny with next release. There's also a public roadmap of how things gonna happen in upcoming releases: https://github.com/ajbura/cinny/projects/11

Update is live at: https://app.cinny.in
If you want to self host, get the files from release at: https://github.com/ajbura/cinny/releases/tag/v1.7.0

...and that's all for now. See you folks next time and thanks for the amazing support! :)
