Further feedback and inputs
a chat function within the group would be useful
inviting new members should be more visible → easy to find
the members who are pending to accept their invite take up too much space (make smaller, move to the side, …?)
is there a way to favor a group? the way you would favor a thread but with a group → to get specific notifications for updates, etc.
option to close discussions? → this is not important anymore, etc. so that the thread disappears or gets archived?
