ability to @mention the entire channel

ability to @mention the entire channel

hey cliq team, sending you a quick idea for an enhancement to collaborating via cliq.

user story:
  • as a user, i would like to @mention the current channel i'm tying in so that everyone receives a notification of my new message.
this is identical to the @channel or @here methods used in Slack.
@channel alerts every member of the channel, regardless of whether or not they are logged in
@here alerts only members of the channel who are actively logged in at that time

Cliq currently supports direct mention ( #mention) of entire channel members, but only across channels. You can only #mention channels that you're currently not typing in.
  • For instance if I'm typing in #channelA, I can only #mention #channelB or any other channel that is not #channelA. I cannot #mention #channelA while I'm typing in #channelA.

Would be a very valuable feature if a user could be typing in #channelA and also #mention all members in #channelA.

cheers!
