Each Ponder post has a collections tag, what we added for this feature enhancement was a top-level collections page where all collections are shown, and each collection has its own page with: a banner image, icon, and description. When we launch publishing, these collection pages will be linkable. Think of collections as a high-level, simple organizational tool for your blogging.

Design facelift


Dave tidied up and pulled together quite a bit of the look and feel of the app, particularly around the formatting of posts in the stream, profile, collections, and full-post view. Includes the ability to click through to profiles and collection page from the posts.

Text capture fail-safe

Added a new fail-safe for when a user leaves text in the text box un-submitted. Because Ponder uses a chatlogging interface, if the text in the chat box isn't submitted and the user navigates away, this text will be lost.
