Frequently asked questions

What counts as a hashtag or mention?

A hash or at sign at a word boundary followed by Unicode letters, digits or underscores. Punctuation and spaces end the tag.

How are duplicates handled?

Duplicates are removed without case sensitivity, keeping the first spelling you used, so #Tag and #tag count once as #Tag.

Will an email address be read as a mention?

No. An at sign glued to a preceding word, such as the local part of an email, is not treated as a mention.

Do non-English characters work?

Yes. Tags with accented or non-Latin letters such as #café or @José are supported through full Unicode matching.

Is my text private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
