    I believe ability to mention other members within discussions or any post types is required. This is a common feature supported by most of the communities and social media platforms. Jatra should have it too.

    Here’s how it can work:

    1. User starts typing a post and wants to mention a user within the community

    2. User types ‘@’ followed by the username or real-name of the user

    3. A pop-up appears right at the cursor with suggestions of names starting with the letters typed after @ symbol. For example, if user types @kau - then they are presented with all the users with username or name containing ‘kau’.

    4. Upon typing Enter or Tab key, the selected user’s profile link is created within the post.

    5. Once the user publishes the post, the mentioned user or users are notified through our in-app notification system and email.

    I’d like to collect your feedback on this feature. Let me know by upvoting this and commenting your ideas. Thank you!

    Upvoted. Would love to have this feature. My questions:

    1. Search should be 'anywhere' in the name or username string. Not just the beginning of the screen.

    2. Show user avatar. Sometimes two members with similar names can create confusion.

    Do you have an ETA for this feature?

    Ambarish - this is a suggestion and we'll implement it once this gets sufficient votes.

    Updating the status of this requirement to 'planned'. The ability to @mention will be released along with our next editor update; sometime in Q1 of 2025. Stay tuned!

    I hope @mention will be released sooner, before the end of Q1 2026
