Mentions - make them case insensitive
Mentions are currently case sensitive so @tyro will work but @tyro will not. This is a problem as:
- mixed case mentions are still styled as valid even though they aren’t
- Mac OS automatically capitalises the start of names making it harder to type all lowercase mentions
Solution: Make mentions case insensitive! NB. We won’t change the original markdown, rather we’ll downcase all detected mentions on the backend when parsing them for follows.
NB. That since this update, the two mentions above look the same, even though they were typed as ‘tyro’ and ‘Tyro’ respectively.
