Welcome to all new and recent users! A recurring request from the first few days of BuyAussie activity on Topicle was the ability to set a bio on your user profile and to make an image comment reply.
Bios are completely optional, but if you're so inclined, they can now be set via https://topicle.com/settings?tab=profile. Once you've saved your bio, it will show up on your profile page at https://topicle.com/u/me.
If you want to reply to a thread with an image, you can now do that one of two ways:
- Drag and drop an image into the comment box
- Use the picture icon in the toolbar of the comment form
Animated gifs are not supported at the moment but will be coming soon.
Other features implemented as a result of BuyAussie feedback:
- Toolbar on comment form to allow easy formatting
- Sports spoilers now have an automatic flair showing which league it relates to
Bug fixes from BuyAussie feedback:
- Community creation was not possible from mobile web, now possible using the yellow (+) button on the home page
- Account deletion was unreliable due to a backend issue, now resolved
- Country blocking in settings was unreliable due to another backend issue, now resolved
- Numerous other small fixes
On the roadmap:
- Optional real-person verification, to combat bots and ensure you're speaking to a real person
- Optional age verification so we can switch on NSFW content while complying with eSafety laws
- Improved onboarding experience where you can select your interests instead of being given a default set of subscriptions you may not like
- Sign in with Apple
- iOS app (Android to come afterwards)
- Animated gifs in comments (can be toggled on and off by sub moderators, off by default)
- Mod-selectable sub-specific rule sets: strict, standard, and loose, instead of one-size-fits-all rules for every sub
- Video posts
- Many more
Thanks to everyone for all your feedback and support as we continue to grow the site!

Do you have an iOS app in the works (i note swift in the tech stack so I guess someone has experience there). I'm an iOS dev, might be able to squash the odd bug here and there if needed
A SwiftUI iOS app is currently under development - it will go out on TestFlight probably in the next month and I'd love to get bug reports and feedback from domain experts like yourself when it does. No bug fixing assistance required at the moment, but there may be opportunities in the future.
