Hashtag and cashtag support #76

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Please consider adding support for hashtags and cashtags (for stock or cryptocurrency tickers, often used on Twitter, like this: $BTC) as they are very useful for referencing and finding related topics nowadays.

I'm very interested in using your software for a project of mine, buzz me if you'd like to discuss it.

I can see how hashtags might be useful, but how would cashtags be useful in a forum software? Presumably, these cashtag listings would reference posts containing that cashtag on the forum? Could you not use a hashtag (if they were implemented) for that?

For a forum on trading/crypto, they would allow for referencing posts relating to certain financial assets separately from random subjects/tags. It is absolutely the same thing as a hashtag but with a $ sign, it's just the way people are used to doing it.

Just suggesting it though, I'm looking to open exactly that kind of forum.
