Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Our current Messages icon doesn't do anything.

Most social networks and some other platforms have some sort of way to read, create, edit, update messagesz reply to comments and reply to chat.

Describe the solution you would like

Create a message widget that

  • displays incoming messages with time stamp and title subject etc of message and who sent it and any tags associated to the message as a dropdown

  • could also have a message panel open up for users to interact and create messages outside of the chat widget or the main post feed.

Describe the alternatives you have tried

N/A

Research direction
Start by creating a new component for the Messages widget. Use MUI components like List, ListItem, ListItemText, and Badge for incoming messages. Implement state management for messages (e.g., using React state or Context). Add a panel that toggles visibility for composing new messages. Follow existing widget patterns in the codebase.
