6 years agoHello everyone, I hope you're all doing well!
I just wanted to ping you all as I've moved your feedback on this feature here, so that we can better keep track of all your comments.
I've passed this all along to our devs for them to review, so thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience on using this feature so far.
The feature is still in beta, so the team is still working on this. Your feedback is therefore very important to us so please keep it coming!
Just for reference too, the thread you all initially posted in is here. You should still all be subscribed there, just mentioning the thread as an FYI if needed.
If you need anything, please give me a nudge here and I'd be happy to help.
Have a great day ahead!
