Allow custom names for users (machines)
brunetton opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I plan to use Sharedrop for realtime team collaboration; but when more than 3 or 4 computers on the same room, it starts to be hard to remember "who is who", ie who is "Romantic Piglet" again ? Is this Paul ? Or Linus ?
It would be great to be able to define custom names
Hey! It's been requested a few times already. I have some concerns that in specific use cases people could impersonate others. However, I understand that in other use cases, like yours, it would be useful.
The logic to implement it is relatively simple, the biggest issue is actually UI. When I have some free time, I'll see if it's possible to reuse the existing dialog component for it - this way the UI could be the same for desktop and mobile.
Also, pull requests are very welcome :)

Hi, thanks for your answer.
This goes to my "PR ideas" inbox; but I'm really not confortable with Node environment (at all) unfortunately.
So I suppose I'll wait ;)
