We've released a new update to the Stable Pre-Release beta group (and, of course, the weekly), bringing video support, more markdown options, and a bunch of bug fixes. We've also refined our design—check it out and let us know what you think!
Cheers,

Are there plans to bring back collapsing posts?
Yes, we'll be adding it back in at some point 👍
Great. A feature I disdained at first but quickly grew to love.
It should be back now on the weekly TestFlight :)
