This is a neat idea - it might work better with phones + GPS than the web/desktop client with IP/wifi detection, though both would be possible, though you could use low power bluetooth beacons too. It's not strongly aligned with our current objectives, so I don't think it something the core team is going to progress. Perhaps most interesting is thinking about what architectural changes we'd need to implement in Riot to make this a feature that could be implemented alongside the more usual usecases. Perhaps some sort of extensible notification management/filter framework could support people filtering notifications except when certain specific criteria are met. |

There is a hanging Pull Request element-hq/element-web#2774 which not clearly states what it aims at. Users of What's App have also been reporting, that they can post locations into the stream. Is there anything like a plugin interface to Riot, in so devoted users can manually extend the functionality? Then a location module may provide interesting data and access options. This eventually turns more interesting with events, either in the past, now or in the future. A very basic interface could as minimal as in: |

@almereyda the PR linked to the one you linked to (matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#596) is actually for what you want (at least in part) |

@t3chguy thanks for the clarification. element-hq/riot-meta#105 also seems related. I ran into a similar distinction previously in fedwiki/wiki#63 (comment) about graphs of wiki and graphs in wiki. |

This is a great idea but not something we're currently working on and therefore I'll move this over to our Discussions section! |

Do we need to write an MSC to ask for adding an optional location settings to rooms? |

This is not an issue, it's a feature request.
Is it possible to have a feature for location based rooms? Like if I have a local event space, or coffee shop, can it have a room that I only get notifications from when I'm in proximity? I could have a work collaboration that turns off/on when I leave work automatically. This could work great with riot, or you could set a location manually.
