• 📮 New card type: Post — A long, full native post with teaser and rich formatting inside the text (images, formatting etc). Long post cards is a long, full native post with teaser and rich formatting inside the text. It can be perfectly used to compile full long posts about any topic. It’s body can hold all kinds of media from images to image galleries, from embedded links to quotes. There are different blocks that you can add to create a long post card. The content of the long post cards opens in a native view unlike Article cards which opens in Web view.The only field that this card always requires is the headline. Plus: to create a stunning mix of cards, you can customise the teaser for this card type with an image, multiple teaser types and text fields. Nothing looks more boring than an endless list of the same looking teasers.Similar to Article cards, long post card with images therefore can have four different teaser types. But of course this card can also just use headline and source - without an image.
