Hello! Reactions and Emojis functionality is now fully integrated into Heahy's posting form, so it's time for an official announcement.
It's not only a simple reaction select, but there are also some nice features to make your posting more seamless.
You can use keyboard shortcuts in the posting form now. For example Alt+E opens emojis picker and Alt+R reactions picker. If you enter ':' a small emoji picker shows up for you to choose. If you enter # text after it can be added as a tag without separately opening tag input. If you copy paste a link into post, a dialog appears that allows you to embed that link if it's embeddable (e.g. YouTube, X or Heahy image/video post). No need to open link input anymore.
There were also multiple bugfixes and design improvements.
