Dynamic Announcement & "What's New" Modal

Hi everyone,

I'd like to suggest a feature that would improve communication and member engagement within the community: a popup modal system for announcements and updates.

This is similar to what platforms like WhatsApp or Facebook use when introducing new features or important updates.

Primary Use Cases

  • Announce new features, bug fixes, or community updates.
  • Broadcast important reminders or urgent notices.
  • Guide members or encourage specific actions (e.g., completing an incomplete profile).

Key Technical Specifications

  1. Admin Dashboard & Management

    • A dedicated admin dashboard to easily create, edit, configure, and manage popup announcements.
  2. Seamless Integration & Native UX

    • Native compatibility with Fluent Community's UI.
    • Full Dark Mode support (automatically adapting to the user's selected theme).
    • Standard closing behavior: Closeable via a "X" button, an action button, or by clicking outside the modal (overlay click), matching Fluent Community's existing modal behavior.
  3. Display Behavior & Frequency

    • One-time display: Once dismissed by the member, it won't pop up again for that specific notice.
    • Versioning / Announcement ID system: If an urgent fix or new update occurs, creating a new modal (or updating the announcement ID) triggers it to display again for all relevant members.
  4. Targeting Options (Essential)

    • Ability to target display based on member profile criteria (e.g., incomplete profile, missing avatar, specific user roles, new members, etc.).
    • Option for global display targeting all active members.

What do you think? This would offer excellent visibility for crucial updates without cluttering the main activity feed.
