@FRCassarino has been working on a new feature currently known as "dashboards", where you can write up content about a particular topic eg Elon Musk buying Twitter, and mix your rich text commentary, images, and different Manifold Markets.
See Github PR: https://github.com/manifoldmarkets/manifold/pull/791
What will the final name of this feature be? We don't love "dashboards" so are looking for other ideas!

@HossierDaddy Delightful! I'm generally a fan of cute neologisms like this and think that trying to use plain English (like "thread" or "article" or "board") backfires because of confusion with the generic meaning. But an existing word like "augury" or "manifesto" would also be pretty great and not have that confusion problem.

@Adam It's kinda like not giving it a name. You create and share a post. It makes sense and the name doesn't distract you.
This is the opposite philosophy of, for example, when we named our first community feature "Folds" and no one could understand what it was.
I also like that it doesn't set expectations for something long and detailed like Manifesto does. Posts are more accessible. Anyone can create a post.
@akhil I think bite sized updates and context (like twitter threads) would be great rather than large articles/essays.
@MartinRandall We definitely are very excited about that too!
But there is value on having content on our site that is presented in a familiar way to new users. Also substack content cant be updated or edited. But markets are constantly evolving as events occur so being able to edit and add updates is super important!
@ManifoldMarkets I'm confused by your statement that Substack content cant be updated or edited. I've seen Substack writers do exactly that.
