1. Messaging system improvements

This release includes a bunch of improvements to the messaging system. This is a quick recap of the most relevant changes:

  • Notifications for new messages in private conversations (DM and group)

New messages will be notified in the top bar, mostly the same way you already see for other Hive notifications:

But notifications are included also in the Chat panel/page for the specific conversation:

Sidebar notifications

At the moment this only work for private conversations, but we hope to be able to have this also for channels in the future.

  • Better layout and mentions highlight

Messages are now better formatted, grouped by date and if you are mentioned in a message it will be highlighted:

Improved chat layout

  • Quote or reply to a message

Now it's easy to reply to a specific message quoting it. Also this automatically mention the user so he can easily find the reply:

2. Easily share GIFs in posts/comments

Something that has been suggested by multiple users in the past and finally it's available. Now you can easily embed GIFs in your posts and comments (provided GIFs are powered by Tenor):

Some improvements will be available in the coming releases to make it even better and easier to use.

Amazing. Been waiting for chat notifications!!!!

@peakd & @asgarth I just wanted to point out a bug in case you were not aware. I am unable to transfer Hive-Engine tokens using the Send button, it says there was a transfer error and to wait a few minutes but it is not a temporary issue. Perhaps you can look into it, I know that many updates have taken place recently. Thanks!

Lots to sink your teeth into here. Thanks heaps, guys.

Legends!

Thank you for all you guys do for the blockchain!

Awesome updates.

Thanks for yet another great update! We love PeakD!

Great Efforts and Work You Guys deserve all the attention 👍🏼

Good news. Updates are a step forward. Thank you very much. I wish you success.

Es genial esto. Vamos bien!!

Awesome update

Wow great.
It would be great after few more development, if you can market peakd and also have a mobile app for it. As for newcomers they don't understand blockchain and stuff. They think of apps as separate ways. So, marketing peakd as social media backed by hive blockchain would be our way to gain masses. As now a days a lot of discussion is going on privacy policy and control over user accounts. this would be a good opportunity focus to enter in mainstream by marketing on mainstream media about peakd.

awesome updates, thanks a bunch!

awesome updates, thanks a bunch!

Hey @peakd and @asgarth, thank you so much for the new features BUT I'm having an issue with pinning a new post to my blog. I've never experienced this before, tried unpinning the current one that's sitting at the top (it's already 8 days old) but it will not budge! What can I do to fix this?
Please help ;)
Thank you.

Hey, sorry for the late reply? Do you still experience this issue?

Hi @asgarth, I still can't pin my latest blog, have tried unpinning the current one and then pin the new one, but nothing happens. Another user @jeremiahcustis is also experiencing the same issue.
I've done this many times before without any issues so can't understand why this is suddenly happening now but will really appreciate your help!

Sent you a message on beechat. Let me know if you see it ;)

Hi @asgarth, I was logged in with Hivesigner, so obviously could not see beechat. Logged out and came back in with peaklock, new post pinned successfully! Must be an issue with Hivesigner.

Ok, thanks for reporting this. I'll try to understand why it's not working with Hivesigner :)
