3. New App Tour. Users who are opening up Couchmate for the first time are now presented with a new and improved app tour that guides you through feature highlights before you start chatting.

1.2.3
2020-12-15
1. Hashrooms! This has been something I’ve wanted to add for a long time. It’s basically a room within a room. Don’t want to be stuck in #general? Create your own # room and invite people there! You can name it whatever you want.
2. In-chat hashroom and username autocomplete. No longer do you need to completely type out usernames or hashrooms. Just use “@“ or “#” in your message and you’ll get some handy autocomplete above the message box.
3. In-chat user and hashroom highlighting. If you use a username or hashroom in your message, you’ll be able to interact with them in the message itself! Clicking a hashroom reference will take you directly to that room. Clicking a username will (eventually) give you some more info on that user.
