Update

 ยท 

๐Ÿ“– Series posts now carry a link to their book, and book uploads are sturdier | 11.3

Posts drawn from a book can link back to it in one tap; two book upload problems are fixed.

Hey Pickful community,

This update is for the authors among you: every post you draw from a book can now lead readers back to that book, and two things that often went wrong when uploading a manuscript are fixed.

๐Ÿ’ก A quick note: your AI assistant (Claude, Codex, or any MCP-capable tool) reads the parameters below and handles them for you. Just say something like โ€œpost this and link it to The Stablecoin Operating Manual.โ€


๐Ÿ“– A book tag on series posts

The book tag at the bottom of a post

Once a book is written, it usually goes out as a run of posts. Until now, a reader who liked one of them had to go looking for the book. Now a post can link to it:

  • A book tag under the topic tag: a book icon and the title, one tap to the book page
  • Visible in timelines and on profiles too, so readers see it while scrolling, without opening the post

The book tag in a profile's post list

How to add it:

  • New posts: create_post has a new book_id parameter; pass the bookโ€™s ID
  • Posts already out: call update_post on it with book_id; pass 0 to remove the link
  • Only your own books: the book and the post must belong to the same account
  • Hidden until the book is published, and the tag disappears if the book is deleted
  • The tag shows on Pickful only; posts synced to X are unchanged

๐Ÿ“š Book uploads: two fixes

  • Uploading a Chinese .md manuscript directly works now: uploading a bare .md file instead of a ZIP used to fail every time, sending the book back to drafts, and uploading again didnโ€™t help. It now parses normally
  • Chapter levels are detected automatically: a manuscript laid out as # book title / ## part / ### chapter used to come in as one single chapter. Now a lone # at the very top is treated as the book title, and chapters are cut at whichever level holds โ€œChapter Nโ€; headings with their own text, like a preface or prologue, become chapters, while empty โ€œPart Xโ€ headings and the table of contents are skipped

๐Ÿ”ง Also fixed

  • Deleting a post now deletes its scheduled X posts that havenโ€™t gone out yet, so a post can no longer vanish while its tweet still goes out; history for tweets already sent is kept
  • The โ€œadd your walletโ€ button in bounty notifications now opens your profile settings right at the wallet address field

๐Ÿ’ฌ To the community

The hardest part of writing a book is letting people know where it is. We hope every post becomes a door to the book, so readers who like one piece can walk into the whole thing. If anything doesnโ€™t work as expected, let us know anytime.
