Labs features

Some notes on the features you can enable by going to Settings->Labs. Not exhaustive, chat in #riot-web:matrix.org for more information.

Be warned! Labs features are not finalised, they may be fragile, they may change, they may be dropped. Ask in the room if you are unclear about any details here.

Render simple counters in room header

Allows rendering of labelled counters above the message list.

Once enabled, send a custom state event to a room to set values:

  1. In a room, type /devtools to bring up the devtools interface
  2. Click "Send Custom Event"
  3. Toggle from "Event" to "State Event"
  4. Set the event type to: re.jki.counter and give it a unique key
  5. Specify the content in the following format:
{
    "link": "",
    "severity": "normal",
    "title": "my counter",
    "value": 0
}

That's it. Now should see your new counter under the header.
