Release v0.19

The Big One

Oooof. No, we weren’t sleeping on the job (well, not all the time) – we were just doing a lot of behind the scenes work to prepare our release 1.0 (public) 😱 which is now a matter of a few weeks.

Subscriptions

tl;dr subscriptions are not live yet, but most of the code necessary is implemented, still needing some design tweaks

The bulk of the work we did was implementing all the subscription and payment related code. It was a mammoth task, and we’re relieved that it’s finally in.

We’ve already spoken about how our subscription model will work and if you missed it take a look at our post on this topic. We’ll also have a complete FAQ on this very soon.

As admin of an account you can find all necessary information in the header bar of the account dashboard with some extra information on hover.

Oh, and as a sign of our appreciation, all beta users will start off with a gift of €100 🎁

Just to be crystal clear: we’re still a few weeks aways from release 1.0 and until that happens nothing will be charged against your starting gift credits.

Media Library

We introduced a media library so you can manage all your uploaded attachments. You can access it from your Deck Library (click on the paperclip icon). Note that we also moved the Conversations view in there as well.

With a storage allowance of 1GB/user, it’s unlikely you will hit your limit anytime soon but should you ever want to make space the media library is the way to do some housekeeping on your files. As a side note, we plan to increase storage allowance in the future.

Digest and Conversation Mails

Any unseen comment made in a thread in which you are participating will result in a mail sent to you. We’ve added some thresholds to prevent spamming you too much and batch several messages posted within a short amount of time.

Moreover we’ll send you a digest email once a day should you have some unseen notifcations from the last 24 hours.

Both types of mail can be disabled from within your user profile. Please let us know how we could improve both these emails.

Improved User Management

We made some design and functionality changes to improve user management. This should make it easier to manage larger teams. And as admin you can now disable or delete users from your account. Bread and butter stuff to manage your costs.

Bits and Bobs

• You might have noticed that you were logged out. This is not a bug. We rewrote our authentication logic to e.g. be able to cancel any active session in case you request it, and do more advanced stuff in the future.
• We remember your preferred card ordering accross sessions. We’ve now increased the granularity by remembering your preferences per deck, rather than one order for all decks
• The slide in menu activated via the joystick icon looks more… dapper?
• You can now delete your account. Yes, you can say goodbye for good. Yes it will break our hearts but that’s ok :)
• The milestone icon (small diamond) shown on mini-cards had become too much visual noise. So now we only show the icon if the milestone attached to a card does NOT match the milestone attached to a deck. This also means that we do not show it in the milestone view (since all cards have the same unique milestone).
• Less auto-scrolling. We’re still not quite satisfied, and we will find a really nice solution at some point!

Right. With such a big update we might have let some bugs slip through, please let us know if that happens.

Back to work!
