17.01.25 Mail threading

Here the very latest mock up of our threading system. A thread bar that shows the entire conversation structure (who answer to who) using a different color per email address. This system garantee a great use of space and full control while choosing what message to read.

Logic

Messages are represented only by the person (avatar, random image, name, or initials of name). We do not show subject, date in this view. Read/unread is shown by visual style. Replies are shown using lines connecting the reply to the replied-to message. It highlights the currently selected message. Clicking on a node selects that message and allows to read it, and also focuses the graph on that msg.

Placement

We have a vertical and horizontal version (for desktop and mobile, respectively) It is shown between message list and message. It should be narrow (or small, respectively). If there are too many responses, deeper replies are grouped using a "+20" (number of msgs not showing) next to the bottom-most or right-most message.

Algorithm

If a msg is a reply, it's indented one level more to the right, and a short curvy diagonal line joins the line to its left. Unless it's the only reply, in which case it's not indented, but directly below the previous message, and has a line straight up. Unless (space issue) it has multiple replies and there already is a message to its right, which also has replies. Line goes straight down from a message, unless it has no replies.

15.01.25 Calendar Edit Dialog

Current solutions like Microsoft Teams, Thunderbird, and Outlook offer various approaches to display participant availability. However, these often require navigating separate windows or assistants, which can disrupt the event creation flow. Integrated Availability View To enhance user experience, we propose integrating participant availability directly into the New Event dialog.

This integration would include:

Availability indicators while typing/searching participant names

A comprehensive table showing globally all participants' availability with color-coded status indicators:

- All available - No information - Some available/some not - Blocked

Tooltip functionality on hover, displaying detailed availability information
