## What is a “Post”?

A **Post** in AbilityHUB is a simple way to share updates, information, or messages with your care team and approved family members. Think of it like a **shared update feed** where everyone involved in your care can stay informed.

### ✏️ When Should You Use a Post?

You can create a post to:

* Share updates about your day or well-being
* Ask non-urgent questions
* Provide important information to your care team
* Upload photos or documents (if enabled)
* Keep everyone informed in one place

👉 Example:

> “John completed his therapy session today and is feeling great.”

### 📝 How to Create a Post

Composer screen for writing a new post. Includes Gallery and Camera buttons to attach media, and a free-text area. The post is published to the shared feed of the user's circle of care.

### 👀 Who Can See Your Post?

Posts are only visible to:

* Your care team
* Authorized caregivers
* Approved family members

✔ Your information stays private and secure\
✔ Access is controlled by your care provider

### 🔔 What Happens After You Post?

When you create a post:

1. Your care team is notified (if set up for this)
2. The post appears in the shared activity feed
3. Others can view (and sometimes respond, depending on settings)

#### Post Comments

The thread view shows the original post at the top, followed by comment bubbles with individual like counts. A sticky "Write a comment…" input with a send button sits at the bottom of the screen.

#### Report Post

A bottom-sheet modal triggered from the overflow menu on any post. Reminds users to call 911 in emergencies. Collects a free-text reason before enabling the Report this post button. The report is anonymous to the post author.

### 💡 Tips for Using Posts

* Use posts for **general updates**, not emergencies
* Keep messages clear and brief
* Share updates that help your care team support you better

### ⚠️ Important Notes

* Posts are part of your care record and may be reviewed by your care team
* For urgent issues, contact your provider directly instead of posting
* Some posts may be saved for documentation and compliance purposes

### 🧠 Simple Way to Think About It

* **Post** = Share with *everyone involved in care*
* **Message (if available)** = Talk to *specific individuals*

## ✍️ Posts vs Messages vs Notes

Understanding when to use each feature helps keep communication clear, organized, and effective.

| Feature     | Best For               | Who Sees It                      | Part of Record?       |
| ----------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| **Post**    | General updates        | Full care team + approved family | ✅ Yes                 |
| **Message** | Direct communication   | Specific person(s)               | ⚠️ Sometimes          |
