Trending topics are coming but they will be implemented carefully (sounds like to avoid the doom scrolling bullshit)

Community Notes: We looked into integrating Community Notes a while ago but we figured we needed more people on Bluesky for this to really be effective. (Their algorithm uses some logic around people who typically disagree with each other's ratings of Community Notes should agree in order for the Note to be shown.) We should revisit this, after adding 9M people to the network over the last couple weeks! *makes a mental note*
Drafts: I don't have a timeline that I can share for drafts yet, but it's on the roadmap! In the meantime, there are a bunch of third-party Bluesky apps that you can use that do have drafts. (Independent developers frequently ship a feature faster than we do, joys of an open API 😅) The ones that are top of mind are Tokimeki (https://tokimeki.blue/) and Skeets (skeetsapp.com), and there are plenty more out there too.
Official iPad client sucking: This one's my fault. When I first built the app, I assumed the native build wouldn't need to handle multiple screen types. I just targeted phone screens. The web build actually does handle tablet screens, so this was an unfortunate oversight on my part. It's doable, but it'll take enough time that it'll steal from other priorities, and so we haven't found a good time to prioritize it. My bad.
When they have a subscription plan:
We won't promote the posts of paying users, and
We won't give bluechecks to paying users (verification should mean something!)
