Some of the features on the way include:
- Progressive web app
Yes you'll be able to install the site onto your device and get native push notifications
"Once the app is installed, it is readily available in the same way as a native app. On mobile devices, that means it can be opened via an icon on the home screen. On desktop devices, it can be opened by searching your system or even pinning the app to your taskbar or dock." - GIPHY integration
You'll be able to search for GIFs from within the editor within the site - Different thread types
Question threads, recommendation threads with voting. This will come in handy for people asking for help and people can vote for the best solution, or recommendations on the best product to use with people voting for those as well.
- New lightbox for view for attached images as well as improvements to the media gallery
- Activity summary emails
Automated emails to keep you updated on things you may have missed on the forums since your last visit - Search power up
Search will get even better - and more....
