When 5+ people react to something, there's no way to see the full list of who reacted and how. That would be a useful addition to the reactions feature.

It doesn't seem to be possible to delete a draft reply, just a draft new post.

Agree, need to add something to show full list of who's reacted (also planning to add other reactions to the available options as quite limited right now with just five to choose from).

To delete a draft post, you currently need to open the draft post from the drafts list (as if to edit it) and there should be a 'delete draft' button amongst the other options. I'll also add something to the list of drafts to be able to do this from there as well.

I only see the delete draft button when it's a new topic, not when it's a reply. Adding a delete option to the drafts list is a good idea.

It would be convenient if the links to the diagrams (charts) were different, with different colors (weights or font types). This would intuitively indicate that:
- this link has never been used.
- this link was used, but the diagram has already been updated.
- this link was used, and the diagram hasn't been updated since.

The charts/graphs are going to be upgraded fairly soon, so this feedback can be taken into account. Some graphs are updated more than others (it depends on the nature of the underlying data). Normally, there's a timestamp printed on the graph to show when the graph was generated (if it's cached), but hopefully the new ones can be generated on demand.

Images in the carousel on the main page appear quite stretched on mobile Safari browser, and somewhat stretched on desktop Chrome browser.

Thanks for reporting, just deploying a small fix.

In my opinion the missing reaction right now is wow/emphasis. Could be 😮 or ❗

Not sure it's necessary to have 🙁 and 😨 as separate reactions - could combine into 😢

Having :thumbs_up:, :heart:, :party:, and 🤣 to choose from also makes 😄 superfluous as a reaction

Thanks for pointing out, added in a bit of a hurry. Didn't think there were enough reactions to choose from before, but wanted to keep the number small (thumbs up and heart are still by far the most used). Happy to get rid of redundancy and make as lean as possible but imo 😨 conveys something that 🙁 doesn't (e.g. a cringe artist). Agree that 😄 could probably be gotten rid of, but again has a different purpose to 🤣. I think best to monitor usage and see what ends up being used. Anything unpopular can be culled/replaced (currently eight reactions to choose from which is probably the upper limit).
