Shacknews Cortex Shouts dev update
It’s been two weeks since we launched our new short-form social media platform, and users have been providing us with some very valuable feedback. Here’s the latest from our Shacknews Cortex Shouts development project:

We expect to have some more updates ready to ship in the next few weeks, so keep an eye on our Thursday night Evening Reading articles for all the latest Shacknews development updates.
