v2.90.0 — Poem size, search preferences & a sharper reaction bar

Set your own poem size on the immersive Stage, make search yours with new per-profile preferences, and meet the reworked reaction bar — compact, holdable for exact counts, with tap-to-search pills. Plus notification settings that finally stay put.

Version 2.90.0 puts the reading experience in your hands: set your own poem size on the Stage, shape search around how you use it, and meet a cleaner, more talkative reaction bar.

Poem size, your way

Every reader holds poems differently. Tap any poem on the Stage and a small dotted slider appears inside the card — slide it to the size you like to read at.

  • Short poems grow to fill the frame, up to the size you set (16–34pt).
  • Long poems settle into your chosen reading size and scroll — a comfortable option if you like larger text.
  • It sticks. Your size is remembered on your device (even offline) and follows your account across devices.
  • Nothing else moves. The reaction rail and the poem's layout stay exactly where they were while you size.

Search preferences

Search now has a home for the way you like it. Look for the sliders icon next to the search input, or Settings › Search.

  • Information cards — choose whether the poetic-form and sound cards appear above results. (Dismissing one with × still only hides it for the session — this is the durable switch.)
  • Defaults — pick the sort (Relevant, Latest, Popular) and the tab (All, Poems, Poets, Sounds) every new search opens with.
  • History — keep or turn off recent-search suggestions, and clear them any time. Recent searches stay on your device only.
  • Mature content — decide whether poems marked mature appear in your results. Content-warning preferences still apply either way.

A sharper reaction bar

Reactions on a poem's page are now compact and easier to read at a glance.

  • Glyph discs — each reaction sits on its own soft circle, so the emoji stays clear even when a reaction is active and coloured.
  • Hold for the story — press and hold any reaction (repost and share too) to see what it means and its exact counts.
  • Compact counts — big numbers now read as 1K / 1.2M everywhere.
  • Tap to explore — form and #hashtag pills on cards and poem pages now jump straight into a search for them.

Fixes & under the hood

  • Notification settings that save — toggles under Organizations (including Open Calls), Applications, and Account & Safety used to quietly revert; they now persist reliably.
  • Clean reply search results — reply snippets in search showed raw formatting tags; they now render as clean text with your match highlighted.
  • Open-call alerts — notification styling and links for open-call updates are corrected.
  • For staff — moderation portal accounts get per-channel notification controls for staff mail and the mod queue, while safety-critical inboxes always deliver.
