How to set up and validate locally
- Check out this branch
- In the GDK, edit your user status (you can do this either via the user dropdown at the top of the super sidebar or on the edit profile page).
- You will see that as you type, a count of the length of your message vs the max is shown in real time below the input.
- You will see that when you reach the max length, you are prevented from adding any more characters to your message.
