We’ve had lots of feedback from our users about ways we can improve our chat system and social experience on Mixlr. We’ve been listening, and over the coming weeks we’ll be making a series of changes to the website livepage which we hope will have a positive impact, starting today.
Reversing chat
Since Mixlr began, chat messages have been added to the top of the screen. Today we’ve updated the livepage on the website, so that new chat messages are added to the bottom of the list. We hope this will make it easier for users to read incoming messages while typing in the chat box.
Adding hearts to chat stream
Hearting is a core part of the Mixlr social experience. It’s a great way for listeners to show broadcasters they like what they’re hearing, and every month millions of hearts are created on the platform. We feel hearting should be more central to our live audio experience, so from today we have begun to add everyone’s hearts to the chat stream.
New improved chatbox
We’re also in the process of restyling the chat box to make it clearer. For our latest release we’ve added the current user’s profile picture to the chatbox, and made the post and heart buttons stand out more.
As ever we’d love to hear your feedback on these changes and hear your suggestions for future improvements – get in touch here.
Happy broadcasting!
The Mixlr Team.
