Improve information hierarchy with the dates in circle conversations
What's happening?
Today the dates on conversations is not visible enough. There's no difference between phrases and the date of the day, and there's no information hierarchy indeed.
Let's have a look down here between slack and Hubl.
@sophie what would be your idea to improve that ? What can we do quickly without wasting much time ?

@Cyrilthiriet I recommend to make user tests before going into this kind of editing
I can make a new more visible version if you want. Is it just visual or do you need the menu like in Slack where you can choose a date ?

You mean that down here ? I don't know if we are able to do that technically, but it would be nice but it's not our need for today.

Yes, speaking with @jbpasquier it's not a big deal I think. Yeah just more visible for now, it makes the job.
Our need after that will be more on something floating better when we scroll up when wanting to load more messages. Maybe more on Emmanuel Side.

Worth asking @manv

@manv are you able to do some magic here ?
- Author Maintainer
@jbpasquier are we able to do the stuffs with the dates like in slack or you say not at the moment ?
- Developer
definitively doable
the "Jump to specific date" button opens a date picker right?

@manv There is 2 subjects :

and
the "Jump to specific date" button

We should get a floating date separator next release, see components/solid-xmpp-chat#270 (closed)
After some thinking, jumping to a specific date doesn't seem like a good idea to me
Fetching history is kind of slow with our current setup (converse/prosody) so I wouldn't recommend implementing those features yet
e.g: you have a thousand messages between your oldest message and the selected date
- Developer
@Cyrilthiriet it's already hard to scroll up to the history so it seems hard to have this menu, I recommend to adjust the design and it more visible if you want. 7 token is enough for this

@sophie thx that's cool. I'd put the line larger at first sight but if you say it's ok like this I'm happy.

What's the next step here ? @gaelleM @jbpasquier ?

@Cyrilthiriet I don't understand what you're asking for here?

Thank you Sophie. Sorry @jbpasquier I asked who can push this live, do we need to estimate this or it's really quick to do ?
- Owner
@Cyrilthiriet Sorry, I still don't understand about what this issue is talking about
- Author Maintainer
Sorry @jbpasquier It's about implement this :
- Owner
@Cyrilthiriet Didn't you already paid for that there? components/solid-xmpp-chat#270 (closed)
I already have something like that on the beta channel.

@jbpasquier indeed, I don't know why, I'm lost between UX and dev
