Textra is great, but this is the one feature that is sorely missing. There are multiple reasons someone might want to temporarily mute - conversation goes off topic, want to get some work done, etc.
Ideally, the user should be able to choose each time how long they want to temporarily mute the conversation. And at the end of the temporary mute, if there are any unread messages, display the new message notifications like they were just received.
