On I missed this thread and discovered it now.
Definitely a custom domain! 🚀🚀🚀
text / audio / video = real time chat (the big miss)
As a redactor, be able to tell in which language my post is written!
As a reader, to filter post by language
Why not delegating this task to Apache Tika thanks to its org.apache.tika.language.LanguageI... ?
Sure! I think an easy first implementation is letting the author sets the language, but why not using Tika later to suggest language or even enforce it 👍

There are badges on our profile pages. How about the ability to put a badge on your avatar. Similar to how a group blog has a team avatar with a smaller avatar of the author of that post.
Add image option directly from unsplash. like medium.com
Ability to preview post in real time while writing it. It's a hassle to switch between both editing and preview tab.
Site Theme sync with system! Currently we have to choose either.
Not really a feature but i’d to add the links for my linkedin, instagram, fb and tiktok + others in my profile so they show in my header
I’d love for Dev to remember listening progress on a podcast, so I pause on the app, flip back to the desktop, login and pickup where i left off 🎧
Maybe not add, but it would be great to improve the Analytics section. I'd like to have a better breakdown on where my readers come from.
While I typically don't champion for social features, I have been wanting to be able to see a full list of who likes/unicorns/saves my posts. I can see some of the info from notifications but trying to get a full list has not proven intuitive/possible - limiting my ability to grow an audience and participate among like-minded members of the community.
I totally feel ya on this request. I would like to more easily see who all liked my post because it likely means we have something in common and I would like to more easily be able to connect with those that I have things in common with.
Also, posting the same article in multiple languages would be nice. So, on the article page a user could switch between the translations (provided by the author).
The ability for reader to archive post directly on "post details page" without going to "Reading list" and clicking there on "Archive" button for that post.
Language tags or filters on featured posts.
I was thinking about it and a tag in the post view section to switch between languages would help to publish in more than one language.
The option to set the language of a post and your languages as reader
