Hearts on moments, hearts in the feed
Yesterday we gave the radio chats hearts and replies. Today the same idea lands where it arguably matters most: your published screenshots.
Moments can be hearted
A moment was the most post-like thing on Skydex — it has its own page, it sits in your profile grid, it gets announced in the live feed — and yet there was no way to react to one. Someone flew over Hamburg at sunset, framed the harbour just right, published it, and the only possible response from the world was silence.
Now every published moment carries a heart. On the post page (/m/…) it's right under the image, next to a count; tap the count and you get the list of who hearted it, with links to their profiles. On any public profile, the moments grid shows a small heart badge on each tile — visitors can like straight from the grid without opening the post. And in your own in-game album, published shots show how many hearts they've collected, so the album quietly becomes a scoreboard of your best frames.
Under the hood this uses the same one-like-per-person model as building likes: your like is tied to your account, it toggles off as easily as on, and the who-liked list always shows current usernames. Hearting your own moment is politely impossible from your own grid — the count there is for what others thought.
When someone hearts your moment, your notification bell tells you — who it was and which shot — capped at one notification per moment per day, so a popular screenshot doesn't bury your inbox.
The live feed joined in
The 📡 live feed announces published moments and fresh buildings — and until today those were dead ends: you saw «anna published a moment», and to react you had to click through. Now feed rows for moments and buildings carry the heart inline. See it, like it, move on. The like lands on the actual object — the same count you'd see on the post page or the building page, not some separate feed-only number.
The polish pass
The gaps from the hearts review got closed everywhere at once. Double-tap (or double-click) a radio chat message and it gets a heart — the Instagram reflex, and it only ever adds, never removes. The who-liked list no longer hides in a desktop tooltip: tap the count, on any surface, and the names expand right there — which finally makes it work on phones. And every heart on the site now does a proper little pop when it fills in, because a reaction should feel like one.
Same rules as before hold everywhere: hearts are the only reaction, one per person, all counts live on the server. Sign in, and go tell somebody their screenshot is good.
