Hey Pickful community,

Today's update brings two major features:

💬 Chat Upgraded

• Quoted replies: Tap any message to reply with a Telegram-style left-border quote, keeping context clear
• Delete messages: Delete your own messages with real-time sync to everyone in the room
• Emoji reactions: Hover or long-press a message to react with an emoji; reactions toggle and broadcast live
• Typing indicator: See when the other person is typing — auto-clears after 3 seconds of inactivity
• Message length limit: 1000-character cap with a circular progress ring that changes color as you approach the limit

🧵 Threads Are Here

Post a sequence of connected messages, X (Twitter)-style:

• 5 thread types: Story / Analysis / Live / Alpha / Prediction — choose when composing
• Connector lines: Vertical lines link posts together, making order and flow immediately clear
• Add to thread: Append new posts to an existing thread at any time
• Feed preview: Thread root + first reply preview shown in your feed, with a type badge
• Full context on detail page: Click any post to read the full thread; each post supports independent likes and comments

✍️ Post Composer Polish

• Character ring now sits inline next to the submit button, appearing only when you're within 200 characters of the 500-character limit
• Auto-draft save now debounces — triggers 2 seconds after you stop typing instead of on every keystroke
• A switch-to-article link appears automatically when you exceed 500 characters

If you run into anything, let us know: Pickful Tech & Product. Thanks for your support!
