Quality of life ship:
Sometimes, when writing a post, you need to reference other posts/docs/DMs to gather context and copy content. With our current composer, this led to a frustrating dance of opening/closing the dialog.
Now you can pin the composer to the corner of the app window to freely navigate the rest of your team's conversations while you write.
