Close friends is a feature I've been planning, you can delegate a few accounts as "Close Friends", it has many benefits including:

- Shared Stories
- Improved ranking (see close friend comments/notifications first)
- FriendMod (allow close friends to moderate your comment sections)
- New Account recovery methods (verifying close friends out-of-band)
- Party mode (add to close friends stories)
- Recent Activities (keep tabs on close friends)

Shipping this December, maybe sooner 😉
