Comments & Reactions

Every task has a comment thread where team members can discuss progress, ask questions, and share context.

​

Adding Comments

Open any task and scroll to the comment section. Type your message and press Enter to post. Comments appear in real time for all workspace members — no refresh needed.

​

Threaded Replies

1. Hover over a comment and click Reply.
2. Type your reply and press Enter.

Replies are grouped under the original comment in a flat, Slack-style thread. Nested replies always attach to the root comment.

​

@Mentions

Type @ followed by a name to tag teammates:

​

Emoji Reactions

1. Hover over a comment and click the smiley face icon.
2. Pick a reaction: thumbs up, heart, laugh, surprised, sad, or angry.
3. Click an existing reaction pill to add your vote — click again to remove it.

​

Comment Notifications

Notifications appear in-app and as browser notifications (if enabled). Opening a task auto-marks its unread mention notifications as read.

​

Voice Chat

Whim has built-in voice chat for talking with teammates while working on tasks. Each task has its own voice room.

​

Starting and Joining

1. Open a task and click the headphones icon in the task header.
2. Grant microphone permission when prompted. Your mic is on by default.
3. Other workspace members see that voice is active and can join with one click.

Voice rooms are scoped per task — each task has its own independent room. You can only be in one room at a time; joining a different task’s room automatically disconnects you.

​

Controls

​

Floating Indicator

When you navigate away from a task while in voice, a floating indicator at the bottom-right shows which task you’re connected to. Click it to jump back or leave.

​

Participant Tracking

• Avatars — up to four shown in the task header, with a +N badge for more.
• Speaking indicator — green ring around active speakers.
• Mute indicator — badge on muted participants.

The workspace sidebar also shows voice activity across tasks, letting you join directly without opening the task.

​

Task Assignment

Assign tasks to team members to clarify ownership and make it easy to find your work.

​

Assigning a Task

1. Open a todo task.
2. Click the assignee dropdown (or press Cmd + A).
3. Select a workspace member.

The assignment updates immediately. The assignee’s avatar appears on the task card throughout the workspace.

​

Reassigning and Unassigning

• Reassign: Open the dropdown and select a different person — no confirmation needed.
• Unassign: Select Unassigned to remove the assignment. The task won’t appear under anyone’s “Assigned to me” filter.

​

Filtering by Assignee

Use the filter dropdown above the task list:

​

Task Ownership Display

Each task card shows both the creator and assignee:

• Assignee avatar on the left with a colored ring.
• Creator avatar on the right.
• Hover to see names and roles (e.g., “Assigned to Alice”, “Created by Bob”).
