Pickful Update Announcement (Jan 23, 2026)

Pickful's major update today: The short post editor has been upgraded to Lexxy, featuring a cleaner toolbar and more comfortable formatting. Search speed is now 10 times faster, supporting full-text field searches and smart sorting. Synchronized across all three platforms—no upgrade needed. Making creation and discovery smoother than ever. Let's keep pushing forward!

Hey everyone,

Today we rolled out a major upgrade focused on writing, searching, and accessibility!

Lexxy Editor Upgrade

  • Short posts now use the new #Lexxy editor (replacing Trix) for a smoother, faster writing experience
  • Cleaner toolbar: only the image upload button remains, moved to the bottom-left for a more minimal look
  • Better default layout: starts with 3 lines visible + tighter line spacing for a more comfortable reading and editing feel

App Download Entry Improvements

  • Post detail pages now show a clear download prompt + QR code for non-app users (iOS / Android / APK)
  • Added a prominent gradient App button in the menu bar – super easy to jump to the download page

Search Performance Boost

  • Search is now 10x faster thanks to #PostgreSQL tsvector pre-calculation + GIN indexes
  • Searches cover more: titles, tags, summaries, full body, authors, and Post codes
  • Smarter ranking: title/tag matches rank higher, body matches follow – results are more relevant than ever

All changes are live on Web, iOS, and Android — no #app update required!
