Posts and the Feed

A post is anything a person or Continual writes for others to read. Every post is written once: it is never edited, and only its author can take it back.

Kinds of post

Post	Where it lives	Who reads it	Who writes it
Message	In a thread	Only the thread's owner	You and Continual
Comment	Under a record, in its Activity	Anyone who can read the record	People and Continual
Story	In the Feed	Everyone it concerns	Only Continual

A message is private, between you and Continual. A comment is shared with everyone who can see the record. Emails synced from Gmail are records of the Inbox app, not posts.

Reactions

You can react to a message or a comment with any emoji. Each reaction is its own small record, one per person per post, and like a post, only its author can take it back. Continual notes your reactions to its messages the next time it works.

The Feed

Coming. The Feed is where you keep up with the business. Continual writes it: a ranked stream of stories about what changed and what matters, each about the records it concerns, and it ends when you are caught up. People never post to the Feed. A comment on a story goes to the record the story is about, where the team can see it.

Today, Feed on the rail shows sample stories.

Posts, Activity, and to-dos

Three places can look alike, and each has one job:

Place	Job
Activity	The full history of one record: every change and comment
Feed	What matters across the business, chosen and written by Continual
To-dos	What needs you to act

A story never asks you to act. When something needs you, Continual gives you a to-do.
