Link Mentions to Profiles

[Tierney Coren]

I've already created an issue that says we need profiles for all users. Another feature that is a must have that goes along with profiles is mentions (in whatever format you choose to include them in posts) that link directly from posts, where they are mentioned, to profiles.

Not sure what you mean. Can you provide a real case scenario?

I completely agree. First, expose out of band mentions in the UI. Then when those mentions are tapped, bring up the profile viewer.

For instance, I reply to a post from ^marco then delete the default inline mention of https://Marco.tent.is and type "Of course you'd say that!" There is still an out of band, hidden mention pointing to Marco. That should show up in the user interface somewhere.

Now when someone taps on Marco's name, it should show his profile.

I'm thinking this needs to be one of the next significant priorities for Tentr. It is related to #81.
