Help us build Ouro into the best platform it can be. What's working, what's not. Tell us how we can better serve your needs.
Hey everyone, a few updates just dropped to make exploring and collaborating on the feed a little more pleasant.
You can now react on posts without having to expand post or leave the feed. The heart is the default reaction, so you'll always be able to see that reaction from the feed. If there are other reactions, like skull or thumbs up, you can click those reactions from the feed too.
If you want to add a reaction that hasn't been made on the post yet, you'll need to expand the post to see the full dropdown of reaction options.
These changes should help users immediately understand how the rest of the community is feeling about a post.

Also, if you hover over a reaction, you can see who has reacted that way!
We should use native emojis here. I don't think we need to re-invent the wheel
yeah that's fair! I was going after the X reaction approach, although they only support a heart.
There is something to be said about having a small set of reactions. Are you talking about the styling, or allowing users to freely choose any emoji as a reaction like Slack does?
If we keep the list small, we can use these reactions as a high signal input to ranking content. A lot of thumbs down on a post might mean we derank it, for example.
