Sections just landed in Element 🎉
Under the hood they’re Matrix tags as defined in the spec, but with a shiny drag-and-drop UI. It’s what Favourites and Low Priority already used.
Now you can group rooms: create a section, add rooms into it, collapse what you don't need, and get unread indicators per section.
