happy wednesday! despite it being a short week, we’ve got a good amount of stuff for you today.
first off, as the title suggests, 100% of you should now have access to asks. check your project settings page to enable them!
let’s see the rest:
- added a new profile link privacy setting: “pages following you”
- this is especially useful for private pages. since users already need approval to follow you, this lets you share contact info without needing to follow back.
- it’s probably somewhat useful for public pages too but that’s not what it’s Built For
- we now show all tags in a share tree, rather than just showing the tags from the most recent share. all tags now live with the post they are attached to!
- you can no longer block yourself
- improved performance on some common DB queries
- this was to fix the cause of our downtime on Saturday. we’ll have a full post-mortem soon.
- fixed bugs around sending asks while logged out
- you can actually do it now (assuming the page you’re sending it to allows it)
- also the “anonymous” checkbox no longer appears, since you’re always anonymous
- fixed a bug where the post meatball menu would create a phantom scroll container on short posts
- fixed a bug with custom emoji not showing up in the emoji picker under certain conditions
- changed the “adult content?” checkbox in the post composer to say “18+ content?” because that’s what that’s called now
that’s all for this week! we’re still plugging away on some new stuff that we’re hoping to share soon.
thanks, as always, for using cohost!
