The Bounce will see a significant upgrade soon, this will bring major enhancements/changes.
  • "Push Notifications"
    (If enabled by users, if their browser is compatible)
  • Content bookmarks
  • Per-post share controls
  • Unfurling URLs
  • Emoji enhancements
  • Video uploads
  • Reactions
 
Does that mean there'll be a button you can press that says 'aye that was a braw point by the way neebor'?
 
On a scale from "immediate" to "kneejerk"?
I shall add them in, will have like, dislike, love, hate, but we would like users to post not just use the reactions, there will be bookmarking and sharing functionalities that look good.

A major addition is push notifications, users will have the ability to chose what they want notified on such as New Replies, New mentions, New conversation etc.

On your phone? If so go in to settings> Notifications > and switch 'allow notifications' off

On your computer you do it in your browser I seem to remember.
