ITT: Public announcements on what’s shipped 📣

🧑‍🦰 Profiles don’t actually display anywhere yet, but you can now set pronouns, bio, and website for yourself.

🌁 You can now attach an image to any post. This will probably prove to be a good idea.

🤠 And you can now upload an avatar for yourself, too.

📱 Bobtail now (mostly) works on smaller devices, too. (Try a long-press on a message!)

🖼️ You can now post images by themselves, sans text.

🔢 AND! You can also now post multiple images at once.

A smaller ship but a fun one to build: opengraph unfurls! Should work with most URLs! https://www.footer.design

🏞️ Another small one: you can now upload a custom avatar for your forum, too.

🧑‍🦰 Followup on Profiles: Profiles do display somewhere! Click on anyone’s avatar or name to get the DL. NB: you need to be logged in to see’em.

🔑 A thrilling new feature: you can reset your password, we’re in the big leagues now

🧑‍💻 A small ship it: channels can now have descriptions.

💥 Bobtail V2 is here! Refreshed UI and many other quality-of-life improvements.

👀 You can now find and join more channels on Bobtail. Any channel that’s open to new members (this is a setting for channel creators) will show up in Discover channels.

📱 The v2 mobile experience is now live too. Try swiping left on the message pane to see your channels!

☝️ Got the perfect comeback ready to deploy? You can now reply to posts.

🔗 Links to other Bobtail channels now display a bit more nicely – got some other requests? Drop them in # Feature requests 👈

🧑‍🔧 Replies were slightly broken for a bit – a (more?) correct link will now be sent when somebody replies to you.
