Components
Firebase chat demo is a messenger application that allows users to share and communicate with one another.
Proposal
I suggest that the developers should add
- Notification on sent message
- Notification of message delivery.
- Notification when message is read.
The developers of firebase chat demo should develop and include this feature so that a user can be notified when his message has been sent, delivered and read.
It should be as a mark feature. With one mark repesenting message sent, two marks representing message delivered and a blue colored mark representing message read.
Mockups / Examples
This picture illustrates the message being sent but not delivered.
This picture illustrates the message being sent and delivered but not ready.
This picture illustrates the message sent, delivered and read.
Benefits
The above mentioned feature will be a blessing to both the users and the application it self.
With a feature to notify a user when message is sent, it will be easy for a user to understand that the message has been sent and that maybe it network issue or maybe the recipient is not yet online.
Delivery feature will aid in notifying the sender that your message has been delivered to the recipient.
Read notification will aid in notifying the user that his sent message has been ready by the recipient.
