# Improvement Suggestions for Databag
Hello,
First of all, thank you for this project, which I find very interesting and promising.\
I had used Databag some time ago, but back then I found it a bit complex to set up, especially due to hosting requirements and not having a homelab.\
Now, with a functioning homelab and particularly in the context of recent European announcements about potential backdoors in messaging apps, I am revisiting Databag with great interest.
Here are some feature ideas and improvements that could enhance the experience:
## Proposed Improvements
- **Upload and Download Progress**: It would be useful to not only have a progress bar but also having indicator when sending files, like a percentage or an eta.
- Similarly, when downloading a file, showing more details (size, estimated time, progress) would be helpful.

- **Web Interface Customization**: Allow administrators to customize
the web interface CSS directly from the admin settings to adapt the
server appearance to their preferences (this would be more difficult
for mobile apps).
- **Voice Messages**: add an option to send voice messages in subject, just as files but directly integrated.
- **Simplified File Attachment**: Instead of having to choose between "attach image", "attach video", "attach audio", offer a single option "Attach Document" and let the system automatically determine the type and preview. This would make the interface clearer.

- **Emojis and GIFs**: Add the ability to insert emojis and GIFs in
messages. For GIFs, the Tenor API could be used to easily search and include animated GIFs.
## Conclusion
Thank you again for this project, which provides a privacy-respecting
alternative.\
These suggestions are just ideas to make the experience smoother and
more enjoyable.\
In any case, I am glad to see Databag continuing to evolve!
