Recent Room History

Created by: badc0ded

It would be a huge help to have a recent history of rooms / private chats in order to rejoin or reopen them after the fact.

A specific case where it came up for me, was I was discussing an issue at work where I had helped someone with the night before and needed to see the conversation again but already hid the user off the left menu and couldn't exactly remember their name. I ended up going through my browser's history.

This could pair nicely with threaded conversations, https://github.com/gitterHQ/gitter/issues/741, where you could add description to a piece of chunked history to more easily reference later.

👍 This is a much required feature. People come and chat here to communicate. In real life everyone has faced the problem of unrecognized face. This has now transcended into Internet too 😉 Solving this issue could save the day 😄

While learning and questioning during chat sessions, some interesting concept clarity is discussed that can stay as a doc in library, more likely during learning phase one does want to go and look back for reference to refresh memory, all that one has covered, strengthens the memory around newly acquired skills.
