Heya, I'm the current Gitter developer and was working on Gitter before the acquisition.

After the acquisition, Gitter did stagnate with no movement as we settled into our new GitLab roles and responsibilities but since May, we have been actively shipping things again. Changelog: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/blob/develop/CHA.... Catching up from the break in development, a lot of work so far has been technical debt. We do have more user-facing changes in mind like removing the disruptive large embeds (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues/714#note_...), improving search (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues/1925), and decoupling unreads from emails (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues/1205).

One of the goals this quarter is to open source the Android/iOS apps, https://about.gitlab.com/okrs/2018-q3/ but there isn't a plan to keep improving them with new features. We are focusing on fixing the rough edges of the webapp and are happy to review your Merge Requests for any project.

By Android notifications being broken, I assume you probably mean our double-buzz avoidance, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues/1846, but please make sure your particular issue is tracked, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues?scope=all...

Hey, thanks for responding.

That does indeed look like the issue I am experiencing. We've got a setup where our IRC channel is relayed to/from Gitter so I am usually on IRC instead of Gitter web. But this means that I need to manually discard mentions on Gitter web, otherwise I get a notification that is super long containing all my mentions. This means I cannot easily see what was said to me at the time of the notification.
