Feather Pulse: May 4-10 Updates

Feather weekly update - May 4-10, 2026

Welcome back to Feather Pulse. This week we shipped two chat UX improvements - queue follow-up messages while a response streams and paste files straight into the input - plus a batch of reliability fixes for @ mentions, document previews, and inline error states.

Queue follow-up questions while Feather responds

You no longer need to wait for Feather to finish before sending your next question. While the assistant is streaming you can type and queue up to three follow-up messages. They appear as stacked cards above the input so you can see what is lined up, remove any message before it sends, and keep your train of thought moving. When the response finishes the queue drains automatically in order.

Paste files directly into chat

You can now paste files into the chat input with Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) and they upload through the same pipeline as drag-and-drop. Screenshots copied to the clipboard are named automatically so they are easy to find in the upload queue. Plain-text paste continues to work as before.

Other fixes

• Fixed the @ mention dropdown not showing files stored inside folders - it now lists all files ordered by most recently updated.
• Fixed blank document preview cards on page reload - previews now load their content correctly without requiring a click.
• Errors during a response now surface a clear inline message instead of leaving you with a tool badge and no reply.

That's all for this week. Take care!
