FEATURES

🏷️ Tags on Cards and Tags filter

• We've introduced a tagging system that lets you organize and categorize content more effectively. You can tag cards for easier sorting and use filters to find or analyze content based on these tags. There are two types of tags: Visible tags, which are shown to users, and Hidden tags, visible only to admins for internal management purposes. This helps streamline content discovery and improve tracking.

🎤New Audio player

• The new audio player allows you to keep listening to audio while browsing the app. Once you play an audio file, the player will stay at the top of the news or mix tab, so you won’t have to search for it again in the feed. It makes accessing and controlling audio much more convenient.

💭Image/Video on Comments

• Now you can add images or videos in comments! Whether you're responding to a post or joining a discussion, this feature lets you share more than just text, making conversations more engaging and fun.

🔝Top 5 Cards and Comments Analytics Chart

• Check out which cards and comments are the most popular! The new chart will highlight the top five cards based on views, engagement, and feedback, as well as the top five comments with the most likes. It’s a great way to see what’s trending and get insights into user interactions.
