The meshcore-open client sends several rich-chat features as ordinary plaintext mesh messages. Remote Terminal currently displays the raw encoded strings, e.g.:

It'd be nice for remote term to recognize and render these. The relevant formats:

Prefix Meaning Format Source
g: Giphy GIF g:<gifId> → https://media.giphy.com/media/<gifId>/giphy.gif gif_helper.dart
r: Emoji reaction r:<hash>:<index> (4 hex : 2 hex) reaction_helper.dart

GIFs are trivial: regex ^g:([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)$ and embed the Giphy URL.

Reactions are harder. <index> indexes a fixed emoji list, but <hash> identifies the target message via Dart's String.hashCode & 0xFFFF over "<timestampSeconds><senderName?><first 5 chars>" — a non-standard hash that must be ported to attach a reaction to the right message. A simpler first step would be to just display reactions generically (e.g. 👍 reacted) instead of the literal r:....

(Other prefixes meshcore-open uses, for completeness: s: smaz-compressed text, m: location, V1| reserved.)

Hmmmm interesting! this probably wouldn't be too hard to support

Alrighty I have added a first pass at this. Totally untested tbh; I'm running a little tight on time. Let me know how it works for you!

Most working as expected. Thanks. But it will be nice to join reaction to the last receiver message or just mention receiver
And gifs with receiver @[name] not decoding

Yeah to be honest linking the reactions is kind of a pain in the butt and not something I'm going to implement right now, but I'll get the tag + gif fixed.
