Links should go directly to the products. Taking to DDMS is annoying
Of the 20 or so posts today maybe 5 would work with direct links.

I doubt that'll ever happen.

It's the same sharing format as all our other outlets.

So many requests to join a group of 1 person. Anyone have any better ideas for what to call that group?

In the past few days, i know of several people getting their WhatsApp hacked. I haven't got a grasped how they get authenticated but I would strongly suggest setting up 2FA.

No. Whatsapp Web can only be used with an account that is set up (and active sporadically) with the regular mobile app.
