Icebreakers, Extended Content Limits, and More

A few more updates to keep you in the loop:

• Icebreakers: I added "icebreakers" to help kickstart conversations with characters, you should start seeing them appear above the chat input when starting a new chat.
• Extended Content Limits: I've increased the character limits for bios, greetings, instructions, and example chats to allow for more detailed and nuanced character creation.
• Infrastructure Upgrade: I've migrated us to a new infrastructure (Database and Authentication service). This should result in faster chat loading times.
• Chat Polish:
  • Next/prev navigation now scrolls to the bottom immediately for a smoother experience.
  • Press and hold for chat message menu is now available on mobile devices. Link
  • You can now send an empty message to prompt the character to send another message. Link
• Visual Improvements: Made avatars slightly bigger on character and user pages for better visibility.
• Subreddit: I've created a Babble subreddit! Join us there for discussions, sharing, and community content.
• Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where character information would be hidden if a character was deleted. These will now show as ["Deleted Character"].

As always, I'm working hard to improve your experience on Babble. Keep the feedback coming!
