Add way to toggle features in desktop app
The feature toggles on https://next.gitter.im are just a cookie so they aren't shared between clients. We should add a quick-link in the menu to get to the feature toggle page.
There is a way to toggle Gitter Next in the desktop client but not feature toggles.
Workaround
Gitter 4.x
- Bring up the devtools for the main window
- Run
window.location = 'https://next.gitter.im';
in the console to get to the feature toggle page - Toggle the features you want
- Restart the desktop app
macOS with Gitter 1.x
To open the devtools, you can right-click and Inspect Element
. The steps are the same as above but change the console context to content-frame
. If you run it in Page
it will pop out to the browser and the cookie won't be set in the desktop client
