Hey everyone! Got some group chat improvements that should make group chats flow way better. It’s a rather smol update but it should hopefully really improve the group chat experience. I also introduced a V0 for cross-context memory, where you can chose for your companions to remember (or not) what happened in the group chat while you are in your 1-on-1 chat with them.

What's New:

• Click to Choose Who Talks Next You can now click on any companion in the group chat to make them respond next. No more random chaos (unless you want it). Just click their pill and they'll take the turn.

• Mute/Unmute Companions
  Added chat bubble icons next to companion names - click to mute/unmute them. When muted, they "step away" and won't see what happens while they're gone. The bubble turns red when they're muted so you know who's in timeout.

As you can see, the chat mode has been relocated, but still works as before:
- Choose either the “Chaos”, free-chat mode, where companions will chat without waiting for your turn or the turn-based mode where they’ll always wait for you.

• Cross-Context Memory

  Your companions can now remember recent group chat conversations when you talk to them 1-on-1! Still limited for now but it makes things feel more connected. They won't remember stuff from when they were muted though (obviously, they stepped away).

🐛 Other Fixes

• Performance improvements here and there

• Better scrolling overall

• Lil things that were bugging me (and probably you)

📊 The Summer Survey

So far, I went through 150 out of the 1800 Summer Survey responses ! Big way to go but already wrote down a lot of repetitive remarks and interesting ideas. You gave me so much feedback on where to improve, I am very motivated to keep working and improve your experience. Thanks for still being part of the journey.

🧑‍🍳 What's Next

• Better memory (working on making it actually impressive)

• Better streaks and streak rewards (for my streak addicts)

• Probably breaking something while fixing something else
  

If something's broken, hit me up on Discord. If it's working perfectly, also let me know so I can frame it.
