Peerlist Monthly Update: May 2023

Profile hover cards, image support for posts, rich link previews and embeds for podcast (Spotify & Apple), Figma, Replit, Codesandbox, and Twitter.

Hey Peers 👋,

I am absolutely excited to share this month’s product roundup because we were able to accomplish and deliver a lot of things! Every month Peerlist is maturing as a world-class product with not only incremental but overhaul changes in many verticals.

Many many of you have always asked us how we will maintain the sanity and moderate content feed Peerlist Scroll when we launched it. We always believe that it can be maintained at the product level by encouraging and rewarding engaging valuable content.

🔗 Link Embeds on Scroll

Imagine, when you share your Figma design file with the community and they can actually look into it right there without opening a new tab. It gives an enriched user experience and access while scrolling.

Today, we took a leap in that direction by introducing embeds for:

• Spotify podcast

• Apple podcast

• Figma (files and prototypes)

• Replit

• Codesandbox

• Twitter

• Loom
