Element-android: [Feature] Enrich Home tab

[Jiack214]

I'm in few rooms so I often have zero unread messages. In this way the home tab is often useless because it's often show the "you're all caught up" sceeen.

So, is the home tab going to display something like "breadcrumbs" or something else to easily reach chats with no unread messages?

Hi @Jiack214 ,
Yes, thanks for the suggestion, we will see what we can do to improve UX when catchup is empty.

Maybe a list of favorite DMs and rooms?

I would like to have something like this:

At one point we'd discussed having the list just turn into rooms by activity, like your mockup.

I like the idea of the room list just running into the list of rooms by activity, like Whatsapp et al, but need to dig into all of our use cases to see what makes the most sense.

Yes this is something we want to do with #571

@bmarty I really want to see favorite rooms and direct messages here in the home tab for quick access. :(

Maybe a list of favorite DMs and rooms?

May be add option "On empty home tab" with variants:

1. Leave empty
2. Show recent DM and rooms
3. Show favorite DM and rooms
