What's new
Everything works the way it did before — these are additions, nothing you need to relearn.
Plain texted can now be prettified with markdown syntax. Prettified makes the internet full of text a bit more pleasant to read and write, wouldn't you agree?
Your words can dress up now. Posts, replies, and messages understand simple formatting: **bold**, *italic*, `code`, lists, quotes. Paste a link and it turns clickable on its own. There’s a small “Formatting tips” note under every writing box if you want the cheat sheet, and a Preview button right next to it that shows exactly how your words will land before you post them.
You can search. The box at the top of the sidebar finds posts, replies, and spaces — anything you could browse to, findable in a few keystrokes.
You’ll know when someone replies. Your inbox has a new “Replies to you” section, and the inbox badge lights up when something’s waiting.
You can follow with RSS. Every space now has an RSS feed, and the whole site has one at popsicleboat.com/feed.xml. If you use a feed reader, paste any Popsicle Boat page into it and the feed shows up on its own. It’s a nice way to share a space with a friend who isn’t ready to sign up. They can follow along from their reader until they want to say something.
That’s the batch.
