Inbox and conversations
How threads are organized — by listing, with separate inboxes per role.
Reinly's messaging keeps everything tied to a listing so context never gets lost.
One thread per listing
When you message a seller about a horse, that conversation is anchored to the listing. The header always shows which horse you're talking about, with a thumbnail.
Buyer vs. seller inboxes
You have a buyer inbox and a seller inbox. Same account, different views — buyer-side shows conversations you've started; seller-side shows conversations buyers have started about your listings.
Real-time
Messages arrive instantly via WebSocket. Read receipts and typing indicators are coming.
Notifications
You get a bell-icon notification for every new message. Per-thread mute is on the roadmap; for now, archive a thread to silence it.
