I'm super excited (and a little exhausted š ) to finally share the first piece of a bigger vision: the brand-new Message Text Box!WHAT'S NEW RIGHT NOW?
You have a smoother text box to write posts in. And you can now upload and share pictures directly in your postsāincluding XXX. Drag & drop works, too. Check out the attached picture on this post down below!
Current limits:
- any picture format (but no videos... yet)
- up to 5 images per post
- max 5MB per image
This has been one of the most requested features for a long time, and it's finally hereāat least the first step. Of course, new tools also mean new moderation challengesābut we'll tackle them together as a community, like we always do.
WHAT'S COMING NEXT?
- the same Message Text Box for DMs, with easier picture & video sharing
- a āRecently Sharedā section to quickly re-share content
- image flagging for smoother moderation
THE BIG PICTURE
This isn't just a fun new feature. It also prepares parts of the server for the upcoming Mobile App. The Message Text Box (with uploads) is a key piece we needed in place before the app can happen. Consider this the first brick in a much bigger wall we're putting together.
As always I'm eager to hear your feedback or issues with it. Let's go!
