What's new in v0.15.0
Replies, Favorites, and a home for your groups
Reply to a message in chat or quote a post on the Wall. Favorites is your phone book now, and your groups and events have a page of their own. Everything else that changed is below.
Chat
- Reply to one message from its long press. The quote sits on top of your reply and says so once the original is gone.
- With Plus, change the words of a message you sent, or delete it for everyone, for 15 minutes after sending. An edited message says "edited".
- Pin a conversation to the top of Chat from its "..." menu. Only you see it pinned.
- Messages is now Chat. Requests is a row on top of it while message requests or knocks wait.
- The filters are icons now, and Online now shows who's on right now. Every filter but All is Plus.
- Reactions say who reacted: "You, ana and 2 others".
- Older messages load as you scroll up, and you keep your place.
- Event and group chats have a "..." menu like a person's, and their mark shows when an event is on, called off, or a group is closed.
The Wall and Favorites
- Reply to a post: the reply button quotes it, and your reply is a post of its own.
- React to posts, with the same picker as chat.
- Posts stay where they were posted. A new post no longer drags someone's older ones down with it.
- With nothing near you, the Wall shows Denver's and says so.
- The Wall's Spots tab is now Favorites, with Cruisers and Spots. Star people and spots from any tile or Wall row.
- Cruisers is a phone book of the people you starred: Message, plus Call, Text, Email and Directions from your Notes on them. Spots carry the place's phone, website and Directions.
- Put both lists in your own order with Edit order. Send any of them to your phone's Contacts with the Contact button.
- With Plus, see who favorited you back.
- One Sort control for the Wall, the Gate, Favorites and the Inbox, remembered for each list.
Events and groups
- You › Groups and events lists everything you host, are in, asked to join or are invited to, wherever the map is. Accept an invite right there.
- Events and groups show in the grid among people and spots, nearest first.
- The bar over the map lists the events and groups in view.
- A new group sits near where it was started, not in the middle of its city.
- An event can have a description of up to 5,000 characters, with headings, bold, lists and links, and a preview as you write.
- Tiles show an event's photo or a group's cover, or a pattern of their own, with Join or Ask to join beside the map pin.
- Search finds groups and events.
Profiles, the map and the grid
- In a 1:1 chat, Show my full profile lets someone without Plus open your full profile until you take it back. Only the newest card you send works.
- Message sits beside a person's pin, on their tile and their profile.
- A profile names the region someone's in now, above Vouched by.
- Standing badges sit right before a handle, each kind in its own color.
- Someone who was removed shows nowhere you look: the chain says "A member", and old notices say "Someone".
- Ghost mode moves bottom left, in reach of your thumb. Coming back shows Undo for a few seconds.
- Map and grid are one switch. The grid sorts by Nearest, Newest, Most active or Popular, and a spot shows when someone last checked in.
- Search finds you too, and a handle typed in full comes first.
- Filters: the ones for cruisers only have their own section, the button says Show results, and Who looked is a filter of its own. Favorites shows on the map too.
- Putting your pin anywhere by hand is Plus.
- Tap anywhere on a switch row to flip it.
Getting in
- Sign-up picks up where you left off after a reload, code box and all.
- Where you are is the first step, and every screen says which step you're on.
- Stop partway and a reminder email brings you back with a sign-in link. Four at most.
- When you vouch for someone, the link can go to their email straight away, and signing up from it asks for no code.
- Every waiting member gets reviewers at the Gate: the nearest ones, if nobody is in range.
Everything else
- Share a Learn or Safety article into a chat from the button in its header.
- Learn more has Install as an app, with the steps for iPhone, Android and computers. Every How it works article has pictures.
- Your data's zip holds everything kept about you, Wall posts, taps, blocks, invites and vetting included.
- Past events and closed groups are deleted 30 days on, with their chats and photos.
- A screen that crashes offers Update instead of a bare error, and tapping the version in the header checks for one.
- You: Refresh and Sign out sit in a footer, and Account has Ways back in at the top. Invites has three tabs, each with its button in the footer.
