Hey, what's up, Danielle, we're going to get started in a second way to be the first one
Looks like Anne or Patrick jumping on, good to have you guys. We're just going to give
a couple minutes to let everybody get on. It's Patrick. What's up, man? How are you doing?
Okay, we'll go ahead and jump into it. Good to have you guys here. We are going to be kicking
off our next kind of app owners call. So this is a great time, we're going to talk through a few
new features that we're adding. Things that we added last week, we'll talk through that,
let you guys just process, like give feedback, see how it works. We've got a few more people
jumping in, but yeah, we've got two cool features we'll go through and we'll show that to you guys
and get your feedback. And then we've got a third thing that we are working on this week.
And so we've also been doing a lot behind the scenes to get our processes like really dialed in
so that we have, we can just get more features out to you guys faster. And you can, yeah,
we can just keep growing. We are also running some of our own groups on tribe, like we're
hosting you guys like this app owners group, we have a group site. So we're, our team's being
forced to use tribe every single day now. And we have some other coaching groups that we're
leading as well that we're also using drive for. So a lot of cool ideas are coming from that just
because it's really good if you're kind of building software that you also have to use
and need. So we're coming up with a bunch of cool things. So I'm going to jump in,
let's see here. I got a couple of quick slides. I'll just talk through real quick.
Welcome to app owners call. If this is your first time, it's good to have you guys here. We do these
every other week right now. And this is a way just to kind of get some insights onto what
we're working on behind the scenes, and then get your feedback, chat, just there's other
app owners here on this call who are either running a team or they're the founders that
have jumped that are leading communities. So this is a great place to do that. And of course,
you can jump into it's app.tribe social is our app that we have our own version of tribe.
So you can jump into there, there's an app owners group, and we'll post different things replays for
this, for example, are getting posted in here. And then we're slowly working to build out like
other course content and other things for you guys there. So that's this group.
Yep, that's what I just said, access, basically is a way for you guys to talk with me and the team
got Carolina on here, who is part of our team that helps with the product development side. So
between Carolina, my team, and I, we have a lot of great people. So if you want to
myself and one or two other developers,
we build everything in Tribe.
check out our team, we have a lot of great people. So if you want to check out our team,
There's not this massive imaginary team out there.
we have a lot of great people. So if you want to check out our team, we have a lot of great people.
You're talking to them.
They're on this call.
So this is really helpful for us to hear your feedback.
And you guys get direct insight into what
and can speak to what we're actually working on today.
So we appreciate that.
There you go.
So if you guys haven't, there's a bunch of other great
trainings as well there.
We did a whole tour of Firebase, which
you guys have access to and own.
It's where all your data is kept.
You have a bunch of analytics.
So check out.
There's a whole recording from a few weeks ago on that.
We did one, I think, two sessions ago.
We talked about Zapier automation and just
some best practices on that.
And then our last session, we did some AI
and how you can actually leverage things
like chat base and chat GPT to integrate into your community.
So those are all there for you guys.
Happy to jump into questions on any of those things.
We'll do some Q&A at the end here.
So mainly today, I'm just going to take you
guys through some examples and features of what is new
and then get your feedback on it.
So first, we're going to talk about this series of features
that I've been working on that I'm
calling Power Tools.
And our first power tool is this new thing called Admin Replies.
And so I'll give you a quick demo here.
And we are pushing.
This is actually already live.
So let me jump over to Tribe here.
If you're in this particular community,
you can click over to Group Settings.
And then you'll see there's a new feature here
on the left called Admin Replies.
And we're going to have these little lightning bolt power
tools icons over here on the left.
So what this allows you to do is create a single screen where
you can essentially just go through all
of the posts that have been posted into your community,
whether that's in the All category, the wins,
or the questions.
You can quickly click on a post.
I can see the post here.
I can see what's being said.
And immediately at the bottom here, I can say,
this looks great, Bruce.
I'm just encouraging myself.
It's pretty exciting.
And you'll see right there my post,
my comment goes back in here.
And now that post has moved from the top inbox
down into the replied section.
So what that means is I can go through each of these posts,
respond if I want, or if I don't need to respond,
it's like, OK, cool, that's from Abby.
I obviously don't need to respond to that
because it's on our team.
So I hit Mark as replied.
And that should push it down here into the bottom.
So what you'll see is you can kind of quickly
go through each of these.
And that way, you don't miss a post.
And we sent this out last week.
It's functional.
It's functional today for all of you guys on your web app.
And we already had someone, I think Krista from 100x
was going through one of their groups.
And they found three posts that they had totally missed.
And they were screenshotting it.
And they're like, oh my gosh, I found this from two weeks ago.
And I never would have seen it without this feature.
So pretty cool.
I would love to get any thoughts or feedback
that you guys have on this or questions on how it works.
You can definitely just unmute.
This is a casual conversation.
I mean, it looks great, Bruce.
Would I be a dunce if I asked you to just walk through it
one more time?
Yeah, no problem.
So if you're in any group, so I could
be in any one of these groups, for example.
And I can jump into the group settings.
You'll go to add and revise.
And then essentially just get a list.
This at the top is kind of like your inbox,
like you would have on your email.
And then if you click into one, it just brings it up
on the right for you.
And I can either reply to this or I can just
mark it as replied.
And that should just push it down to the bottom.
So now I only have seven posts up here instead of eight.
And the one goes below.
And I can still click on this and still chat with it
if I want to.
Or I can even undo the reply.
And it will pull it back up into the top here.
And so those will accumulate.
And I will eventually, like if I wait a week or something,
I'm going to have a long list.
And I'm going to have to do something to clear that queue.
Is that correct?
Yeah.
You never have to use this if you don't want to.
It's the same thing, essentially,
of me scrolling through the feed.
And like the one.
One of the problems that I think,
I don't know if it was Cheryl,
I think it was someone from last year's single though,
said they would skim through these
and they were like, they didn't know
if they had responded to certain people's comments yet
or posts, someone may have asked a question
and they didn't know if they had an admin response or not.
So this just gives you a way to kind of make sure
you have an admin response to every single post
and no one gets missed out.
It's awesome.
Yeah, kind of a power feature for like,
that's kind of one up from Facebook
because Facebook is always the tourist
for like missing stuff like that.
So we're trying to create a process
to where you guys are kind of like,
it gives you some superpowers in the app
to like be present everywhere, but yeah, it's cool.
Very, very simple, but definitely helpful
for a very particular task.
There we go.
Oh, and Danielle said, does this show
just that group's comments or every group for admins?
Okay, good question.
So this right now, like at the top here,
I'm in the tribe leaders group.
And so it's gonna be filtered here
just to this particular group.
And you can see I'm in the tribe leaders section.
It's part of kind of the group settings.
If I were to go just to the admin settings,
it's not gonna be in there
because this is sort of like platform-wide settings.
So, but if I go into a particular group
and hit the group settings, that will actually load that.
And it kind of loads all of the things.
I can jump between all of the members in the group.
I can look at the feed,
which this is kind of a little less useful at this point
because it kind of is a little redundant,
but we didn't replace it yet.
If you just want to see things in a grid
and then the admin replies.
So yeah, it's just gonna be that.
And one thing you said in there was like,
is this for comments?
So technically right now it's just posts,
but comments would be cool too.
So right now, if someone added a comment,
that was a question for you guys,
because if we added comments, for example,
it's not necessarily like every single person
who makes comment like, this is great.
Yay, awesome.
Like you don't want like every single one
to show up in here and we'll pull up some stats,
but some of you guys have like 500 something comments a week
just look at it.
We don't have to guess.
So it'd be interesting to see,
let's pull since Danielle's here,
let's pull up, brilliant.
I know last year single, for example,
I mean, so maybe we're hitting like over a thousand comments
like overall, let's see if this will load.
Come on, let's just look at the network, okay.
This is Data Studio.
This is just looking at all of your databases.
Come on, there we go, brilliant.
Okay, so there's like 200 comments from last week,
139 a week before that.
So I don't know if,
I'd be curious to know how you guys would process comments
or if you just wanna have them all there,
maybe you can just like thumbs up someone
or just mark it as read,
but like, would you want something like this
for like comment replies as well as post replies?
I'd be curious.
I don't know, at least see them, you know, yeah, okay, cool.
They do wanna reply to all, yeah.
Okay, well, we can look at that.
I mean, it's not impossible.
What we did in this is we had,
we have a new toggle, like a new field
that basically says admin has responded.
And so when you click like mark as replied,
it just sort of marks it as responded.
So if you click on that,
it'll just mark it as responded.
And so when you click on that,
it'll just mark it as replied.
It just sort of marks it as responded and sets the time.
So we could do that essentially for each comment.
Ideally like some, yeah, we'd have to figure it out,
but it would be super cool one day
if we could have maybe some, even some AI
that could kind of determine like,
is this a question that needs responding?
Or if it's just feet,
like sometimes it's just positive feedback,
like I love this, this is great.
Most of our comments, they're super short,
but one day maybe we can like filter that as well.
So, or if they, if we could classify something.
that needs a response or doesn't need a response.
I was just looking at mine.
And when I clicked on a post that has comments on it,
and I can actually reply in this view
to the comments on the post made in there.
So if I click on a post, I can see the comments.
And then I can reply to them from this screen
just on the left half there.
Yes.
Right, so that could be.
Yeah, you definitely can.
It'd be nice for the post to maybe come back up
when it has new comments.
OK, that's interesting.
Yeah, so we could like reset it.
Because then we could mark reply it again
when we've seen like, OK, I've seen those comments.
They don't need me.
Oh, that's a great idea.
Then I can mark reply it again.
Yeah, so that change is like probably 20 minutes of work.
And us creating like a whole table of comments
here was probably like two days of work.
So we could definitely add that where if new comments come in,
basically it just resets and says like,
it puts it back in the top here if it needs a response.
And then you can just read the comments in this table here,
see if you need to reply to them.
If you don't mark reply, it goes back down.
Awesome.
That would be great.
Nice.
Carolina, if you want to jot that down,
just make sure we don't miss that.
Because we'll build that tomorrow,
and I'll throw it in there.
Wednesdays is my coding day.
So between Carolina and I, we'll add that little feature.
But yeah, because what we can do is when people are over
in the app and they are, for example, in this post,
if they just hit this button, we'll
just reset it to be like, we'll add a little action here
when you push this button that it also puts it
back in the top of the list.
And it should be OK, because I think
I really like that solution.
It's very simple.
Because if you have like 100 comments,
it's only going to put it back in the top once.
And so let's say then, they're not
going to be like 100 comments spread out over a few weeks.
It's going to be like 100 comments potentially
in a few days.
And then it probably will die down.
And so it will be.
But if someone went and commented on a post you guys
did, let's say, I don't know, a month ago,
it would just put it back in the top of the list.
I think that can solve it.
Yeah.
Sweet.
OK, that's an easy, easy upgrade.
And then I think this one here is also tracking.
So we're doing two things.
We're like, has the admin responded?
And then, when did the admin respond as well?
So this is the last time an admin responded.
It was eight minutes ago.
So I think when it bumps to the top again, you'll see,
it'll be in here.
But it'll show you've responded maybe a month ago.
And then if you tap on it and you respond again
or comment on someone else's ride,
it'll kind of like the last time we touched it
was five minutes ago.
OK, cool.
Sweet.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Try it out if you guys have any feedback.
There's little things.
Like, we're putting something like this very functional.
However, I just noticed if you hit Reply here,
it's kind of goofy.
It brings this little thing up in the middle.
That's not ideal.
But I think what we're going to do as well,
I was playing with this last week.
We're just using another company's millions of dollars
of UI research to just copy what's here.
But I think this is a much better experience.
If you're looking at a comment and I hit Reply,
I just type there and hit Send.
Somewhere along the lines, we had this whole component
that slides up from the bottom.
It's a little goofy here.
It makes more sense on mobile because it basically
comes in from the bottom.
So I think what we're going to do
is when you click Reply, it's going
to create a little box right there.
And you can just type it and then hit Send.
That was on my list to do.
And we'll probably do a work session tomorrow
and do a couple of these little things.
But yeah, if you click on stuff like that
and you're like, it's a little goofy,
it's technically functional.
That's why we're kind of giving it to you guys early
so you can play with it and start to use it.
But that's just some feedback there.
I don't hate that bigger pop-up, to be honest.
I think that could be useful.
The pop-up?
Your comment.
If you cram it all over here on the side,
depending on your screen size, it could be really small.
True, yeah.
We also could split this more 50-50.
And this up here is kind of showing
the post preview at the top.
So if I clicked on it and to go watch this video, for example,
it would take me here.
I would have to hit the Back button
to get back to that screen.
But we may move the video so it's actually
more of a post view instead of the post detail view.
I may change that as well.
You're not seeing admin replies on our back end.
Okay, you should, let's see, let me just check real quick.
We'll check on that show for you.
But I think it's here, yeah.
Check, it is gonna be coming from the app.
You do need to be in a group and then hit group settings
and then it will load, it won't be there.
And just make sure, I think someone's,
we've had a few people complain about this as well,
like with the, what we moved you guys
to a new hosting server.
And sometimes if you don't have the WW,
it actually loads like an old version of the app.
In this case, it's not for me,
cause now I've gone to it.
But if sometimes if you go,
yeah, and there's no group settings on mobile.
That's kind of, that's definitely true.
We probably need like a little gear icon.
However, we have noticed that the,
like the, I don't know how much you guys would be using it.
Let me show you kind of how that would look.
It's not unusable, but for example,
we'd have to do some things to make this work,
like have a little sidebar that pops in
and make it more like mobile friendly, as you can tell.
It's not, definitely not set up for mobile.
So we just hid that for now.
So we figured you guys would be like on your computers,
probably when you're doing more of this work,
but that's something we could look at for sure.
Okay, sweet.
So that's that.
You guys can test it out, check it out.
We'll take all that feedback and work on it.
Second thing is member badges.
And we have added this here.
I'm just gonna pull up a drive here.
And I think, see, I pushed this.
We built it last week and I pushed it live
about 25 minutes, like 30 minutes ago.
So let me just refresh, see if we're on.
Yeah, 2.22 is the newest version
that you guys should all have that now.
Group settings, if you go to group settings again.
Okay, here we go.
So we have this new thing, it's under group settings.
So this is something that sits kind of underneath
the group, so I'm in my tribe leaders group.
Let's do one for, let's actually do the app owners,
do that anyway.
Let's do Dunder Mifflin, come on, let's have some fun.
Okay, so we can do like,
sold a thousand, I don't know, paper orders or whatever.
So you can have like a, or you could have like a 1K award,
1K sales award.
And so we'll add that as a badge.
You can also upload like an image here.
I think if I go to my demo, here we go.
I have my little sample badges here.
So any badge will work.
You have a little uploader here, you can delete it,
you can open a different badge if you want.
Just to make sure that it's like,
like there's no white space around it.
So if you go to Canva,
that's probably the best way to do this.
You can say like, you know, top salesperson award
or whatever.
And so now it creates these badges
that we can then go over to the members.
So I'm gonna go to Michael Scott and let's see here.
I may just have to refresh it.
Let's go.
Cause I just added a few more.
So let's just go back to the Rifflin members.
There you go.
So there's like, now I have some badges I can add.
So let me just pull up my one here
and let's see if there's one here potentially that has,
nobody has a post.
So that's not helpful, but you can essentially add them,
just hit update.
It saves that to that person's accounts.
Let me, I'll give it to myself.
So there's some refreshing things going on here.
Let's see.
Bruce, yeah, there we go.
We'll look right into that.
And if I go back to like this
and I think if I post here, like.
So now you'll see that like Bruce has these two badges
next to my name.
And of course I'm an admin as well.
So this would probably never happen
where there's an admin badge and the other badges.
So typically you'll just see like people with admin
and then admin.
it's him, people may have like the badge there.
And if you click on this, it's gonna pop open
like a little description, and then it's also gonna say
like he has this 1K sales award
and he also has this top salesperson award.
And it'll just create this little grid
of people with those labels.
So that's something that's cool.
It creates a little bit of like just having awards
I think helps if you can kind of think
through the through line of like what you want people to do
in a particular course, maybe you're selling something
on Amazon or something like, oh, I need to like,
once you get to this, I made this sale
or I got to this stage of the course,
or I did this, like I finally am doing this part
of it really well, or I've got, you know, whatever.
We had another group that was like
growing your social media following.
So maybe like once when we did this
for a group called Kingdom Messengers,
like we had like paper awards,
like once you passed a thousand,
we'll just send you like a little certificate in email.
But then when you had passed 10,000 followers
across all your platforms, we actually went to Etsy
and had them like make an award that we would mail
to that person that had their name on it.
And it said like a 10K award.
So it was cool, like YouTube of course does this,
ClickFunnels does this, very popular to help
like incentivize like people to kind of gain
and kind of gamify a little bit
the sort of the learning process
and journey in that group.
And it is just important to note
that this is gonna be for a particular group.
So I could have one group that just has
these seven awards or badges,
and then I can have a different group
with a totally different set of badges.
It's all group specific, so cool.
Any thoughts or questions on badges
or anything we can answer there?
How many badges can we have, Bruce?
I mean, there's no limit with everything on Tribe.
There's like no user limit, no group limit, no batch limit.
It's kind of like what I think it'll max out at seven
around, I think was the number I put here
just because on mobile, it starts to just get kind of crazy.
But when you click on it, like you'll see,
so it'll just show the first seven
or the most recent seven at least.
But when you click on it, you would see,
you'll see you had 100 badges.
You would just see this massive grid of badges.
And it's per group, so the badges are in each group.
Right, and at this point, it's attached to the user.
Basically, so there is a username called Bruce.
Bruce is in two or three groups,
but when he's in this group, he has these four or five badges
What we aren't doing right now yet
is if I'm in this group, let's say I'm in the leaders group,
I'm gonna click on my badges.
Right now, it's just kind of that person has these badges.
I think when we finish this off,
it's gonna just be limited to this group.
So I would only see like tribe leaders badges here.
I wouldn't see that Bruce also has badges in another group
that I'm not a part of.
That makes sense, because I think it'll be too confusing
to see all of the badges across all of the groups.
Right, well, for us, it's like,
I mean, the way we're using groups,
we're using members in a unique group.
They're not necessarily in multiple groups,
but if they are, they're in there
for different reasons for those groups.
So it still makes sense to have badges for that way,
like you have a set.
Yeah, definitely.
You could, yeah, you could have different awards
that you would wanna give that does the work
that has to be done here
is not putting the badges into the app.
It's like, what are the badges?
What do we wanna incentivize?
Because what you're actually like rewarding people with
is obviously what you're trying to like,
kind of the outcome of your groups.
I'd be really interested to see
what badges you guys come up with
for your particular niche would be interesting.
So, yeah, so that's badges.
Anything else you guys, questions or anything on that?
Comments?
We didn't give it a name publicly,
so you could actually use it for whatever you want.
For example, like if we were doing the tribe group,
this is kind of a different use case,
but try to go with me here.
Like, let's say like all of you guys,
we have different clients,
we're all using part of this app owners group.
And what I wanted to do.
was put like 100x badge.
I wanted to have a last year single badge.
I wanted to have a brilliant badge.
I wanted to have each of the clients.
And then like for Danielle,
I could assign a brilliant badge.
For David, I could assign the last year single.
So next to his name,
we could see like which company he's from, okay?
So it's kind of just a general thing
to put a image next to that person's name.
It doesn't have to be like awards
or you can kind of use it for different things.
So I don't know if that gives you guys some ideas
of how you could use this,
but that was one idea I had,
particularly for our use case here with the app owners
is we could use it for like client badges.
You can even make some for like a coach.
Like right now we only have admins,
but if you wanted to also note
that this one was like a whatever,
they had some title in your community,
you could give that to them
because the users can't see the other badges.
They'll only see the badges that people have,
if that makes sense.
They don't see like a list
of all of the possible badges anywhere.
So we try to create things like that
where it's a little more generic
and you can kind of use it a few different ways.
So, cool.
Nice.
No, that's great.
I did have a question on another feature,
but I don't want to go away from it.
Yeah, this is good.
I think we're good.
We'll kind of take whatever questions you guys have.
That's good.
I'm trying to have to orient myself
to what the question was.
So give me a second.
Sorry.
Well, let me, the only last thing
that we were gonna talk about,
and this is something very early stages
that we were thinking of for this week or next week.
There's a particular problem when you have,
and we actually have it right now
because a lot of you guys are showing up on this call.
I don't think everybody has actually signed in
or even activated their app,
their tribe account here with like for you guys.
So what we're thinking of when we are doing a,
and I may just pull this up.
Let me see if I can pull up a live example.
This is a very simple example,
but I'll show you like we have another coaching program
we're in.
So I'll just, this is kind of live from the,
from what we're doing in our group.
So we have this little small group of folks
that are joining a bootcamp.
And so just like when we are bringing people in,
it's helpful.
We use a spreadsheet like this
and we put each phase of what we need them to do in a column
and then we color code it.
So you can quickly see like,
oh, Sean like hasn't been invited to Slack
or this person like hasn't jumped in
or hasn't paid their balance or whatever.
So obviously it's great to do for smaller numbers.
You can manually make it,
but there's actually quite a lot of information
that the app has on each person.
For example, like has this person logged in?
Has this person changed their profile picture?
Have they posted or gone live yet?
You know, whatever.
Have they downloaded the app maybe?
These are things that we would be able to tell
just by looking at the data.
So what I'm thinking of doing is adding another power tool
here into the group settings.
That would be like something called like,
like Adoption Tracker is the best name I came up with
about an hour ago.
We can name it something better,
but basically it's like,
has this person like downloaded the app?
Have they signed in?
Like who hasn't signed in?
Because for example, let's say Chris right here
has not even logged into this app owner's group.
That's something I could give to someone on our team
to be like, hey, can you email Chris
and like, you know, help make sure he gets on here
or text him or something, just help people connect in.
And so kind of a different use case,
but I don't know if you guys had any thoughts on that.
It was something we were gonna prototype
and show you guys later this week or next week.
I love that.
That would be super helpful.
Cool.
A question I had was setting up on the course,
the beta course feature.
I was trying to remember how to attach the type,
the course type to content.
It wasn't obvious to me and I apologize.
Yeah, I think, let me see here.
You're talking about on like...
Uh...
Wanna build out a course?
Yeah, the short, no, what is your,
I think maybe it's like Lyes.
Yeah.
I forget.
I have to go there.
You're gonna memorize all of your accounts.
Okay.
You're saying.
saying how to get content into a training tab?
No, not in training tab, into the course builder.
Oh, the new course builder.
So first, you'd want to just make sure
that the courses here was checked, just to turn it on.
That'll get it started.
I think we have it started here.
So we started building out.
So I have to go to the groups first and initiate the course.
Yeah, that just turns the tab on for you.
Got it.
Then you technically can have both sitting there.
It does turn it on for everybody.
So I would put it in a test group or something
if you're just playing around with it.
There's a few features that Carolina and the team
are working on last week and this week
to just get just a few things.
I think there's some bugs right now where you can't maybe
delete a course.
Let me check if this was.
Maybe it does work.
No, see, it was like that.
Doesn't let you delete.
Just small things, small things like that.
But that is some of those things have been resolved.
And we just have to pull them into your version.
But there's a couple tiny things.
And then we'll probably do take next session
to help you guys build out a whole course.
It's technically functional.
Now you can come in here and add content and build it out
all you want.
There's just, you may run into a couple little bugs.
OK, let me just verify that whatever
it is that you're telling me.
Brain's challenge, come on.
Cool.
And I say that, but I know Carolina, you know more of what.
So maybe tell people not to put them in just yet.
Put anything in.
I don't know how, but you guys are still working on.
Yeah, we're still had a meeting earlier
with the developers that are working on it.
It looks so much better now than what
you're going to be seeing here.
But yeah, don't try and embed, or not embed, upload a video.
That isn't functioning at all.
We'll basically let you guys know when it's ready.
Yeah, pretty much.
It's close, though.
This is one of those things that we budgeted four weeks,
and we've gone, I don't know how many, 12, 16 weeks.
It's been an unbelievable amount of undertaking.
But I think this is what we're supposed to do.
I apologize.
How am I getting to the course builder?
Is it in the tab yet here?
Yes, for that group.
OK.
So then you just tap into the, once you're in that tab,
if it's empty here, you can just hit new course
and start naming it.
Let me see here.
I'll do a full build out of a course
and show you guys how to, some best practices.
But yeah.
OK.
What we essentially set up.
Yeah, we essentially set out to take everything
that's sitting in this, as far as when you go in here
and you add content, which content is
like the epicenter of Tribe.
So this does so many things on this one form.
So we essentially try to set out to this.
And this is complicated.
It's confusing people.
Building out a course is pretty painful,
I think, in Tribe right now.
So this was an attempt to make it a lot more user friendly.
But we had to essentially rebuild almost all
the functionality that is in this screen that's
been around for about four years.
We had to rebuild it all in a totally different app
and programming language.
That's why it's taken so long.
So that's why, for example, you can go in here
and we can edit a lesson, for example.
But what Carolina was just saying,
there's like uploading an image.
I mean, a video, for example, probably won't work right now.
But it will work shortly.
Cool.
So I'm not able to add a video to a course lesson right now,
is what you're saying?
You can if it's embedded or if you
want to put like a searchy link to it, that will work.
Yeah, OK.
Vimeo or YouTube or something should work.
Or if you have a download to something you want to download.
It's just uploading the file right here.
I feel like it was working two weeks ago, but not anymore.
So we'll wait for the thumbs up on that.
Yeah, I think there is an issue in testing that.
Cool.
No, I believe you.
I'm not going to test it live.
Don't worry.
Cool.
So we'll let you know on that.
And we have a few different people
working on different things.
So the badges and the admin replies
are just things I built last week myself.
There's some cool stuff that Carolina's adding as well
this week.
And then we have another two developers
that are working on other things.
So we're kind of all working on different things
at the same time.
So you guys should see a few things popping up soon.
But cool.
Well, yeah, courses, definitely.
We'll probably spend some time.
Once it's ready, we'll send you guys some emails
and alert you.
But I know that's a big upgrade.
So cool.
Any other questions we could take, suggestions,
things that you guys are encountering,
like any issues you guys are encountering that we
can spend more time on?
Was there any changes to the notifications?
Oh, sorry.
So Cheryl, was that you?
I think you guys both said something at the same time.
You and Daniel.
Go ahead, Cheryl.
Sorry.
Oh, sorry.
Thanks.
Thanks, Daniel.
I was just asking if there was any updates and stuff
on notifications.
We just noticed that this week was kind of wonky.
So if there was anything, something happened there.
There's nothing that's changed.
We're looking into that.
We did some testing even today.
But are you guys also seeing it on your app?
Just that some people are getting it
and some people aren't?
Yes.
It's just there's been some inconsistencies.
We'll have to look into that.
We were testing out that across a bunch of apps
this morning between Caroline and I.
So we're aware that that happened.
Nothing changed in the app.
So we're just making sure that Firebase
is what does all your push notifications
and manages all that.
So we're just looking into why it may work for some,
may not work for others.
And if you guys have any cases as well,
if you know these people didn't get it,
having their email address is helpful.
You can shoot us an email.
And just if you know if they're on Android or iOS,
that can be very helpful.
Because there's two different notification systems entirely.
That helps us sort of zero in on where it might be a problem.
OK, it seems like you have it.
Yeah, let us know.
And then Cheryl had a question earlier
I missed in the chat here.
But for the courses, yeah, we could do something
where we could have it in a hidden state, potentially.
That would be a good idea.
Right now, actually, it should work.
And I'll say this, and Caroline can correct me.
But you can actually make the course private right now.
So that's actually not a feature we have to worry about.
It's a feature we have to wait to add.
But if you're in, when you create a new course,
you can actually have a private course here.
And then just not, and then for the members,
you can add specific users to this.
And then, so right now, I've just got like Lindsay in there.
So only Lindsay would be able to see that.
So I could essentially add only admins or just no one.
I think admins see everything.
So even if it's private, like you'll
see it says private right there, you can edit the course.
And you can flip it from group access,
like everybody in the group can see it.
Or it can just be private to limited users.
So think of it like Google Sheets.
You share a Google Sheet with someone like this,
and I hit Share.
It has the option to give everybody at our company
access.
So this would be like giving everybody in the group access
or just restricted, like I only want these three people
to see this document.
That's actually a really big deal as well,
because it allows you to have private courses
within a group, potentially for like bonuses or upgrades
or VIP, something that could be the same group,
but maybe you just want to give people
who took an upsell access to an additional course.
So they would then see the regular courses
plus the private VIP courses as well that only they have.
And it will be identifiable here with the word private
gets listed right there.
And only the people who are added to the course
will see it in their list.
Here, you can see all of them because he's an admin.
So it's a little bit inaccurate.
But if they're just a regular user,
they won't see all of these unless they've
been invited to that course.
of course.
Yeah, exactly.
That's good.
So it's pretty powerful.
We built all of it once, and now we've
gone back and just fixing a few things.
But this feature is quite established,
and we'll have some good-idea use cases
where I think this can solve a lot of problems.
So yes, to answer your question, that is possible.
Just keep it private and then make it public later.
Bruce, on that, so when you were talking
about all these courses, you're still
talking within the context of one group, correct?
Like, for instance, if a customer is
in multiple courses in different groups,
you'd still have to be in that same group
to see those particular courses for that group, correct?
Yeah, it's like the group, and then you
could have five courses underneath,
and two of them could be private,
and three of them could be public.
But it's just contained to that one group.
And then if you go to another group,
there's a totally new set of courses.
Any way to add automations to that,
to trigger on and off groups?
No?
Yeah, that would be kind of the next thing to focus on.
It would be some sort of Zapier, something
to give this user this course, or essentially
add them to this list.
If I go in here and I want to add a member,
so they go buy a new thing, it just
gets added to their courses library.
That wouldn't be too difficult. That's
like a day of work, potentially, to hook in Zapier that way.
And then I want to go, I think, Danielle, you had a question.
I'll just come back to you.
Oh, yeah, I was just going to, I sent in a bug report about this.
But what I wanted to see if we could maybe update
where the group settings button is.
Some of my creators have had trouble getting it,
because it is the bottom of the list,
and it's only on that right side.
And if your resolution's real big,
or your screen's real small, or your text is big,
it kind of gets shoved down, and you can't scroll to it.
Yeah.
Oh, yes, you're right.
So even if it could be above the call to action button,
because I have a call to action button that's even lower.
If it could be on the header, that would be ideal.
Yeah, that's a good, if we can note that, Carolina.
That's one, you definitely should be able to scroll.
That's definitely a requirement.
But potentially, I mean, honestly,
it would maybe make sense just to put it in the list
up here, since we've got tabs.
We could make a little gear icon that's like, I don't know,
admins, and it just says group, like settings,
maybe just says settings.
It doesn't have to say group settings.
Yeah, that would be really, really good.
That would make it so much easier
for some of my creators to find.
Yeah, because I think then, even if I zoom in like crazy,
it's going to be in that list at the top.
Yeah, you'll still see it, for sure.
Yeah, I think that's the easiest place.
We'll just, whatever logic we do,
we'll just literally move that button.
It never really made sense.
It was just, sometimes we just put a button somewhere
to make sure we can get to the page.
But yeah, that makes sense, settings,
and then have it added there.
Wonderful, thank you.
Yeah, so you have an idea like this,
then I have like three more ideas.
Like, I think when you hit settings,
like, it'd be cool if actually this whole top bar
just stayed there, and then everything else below it changed.
I think that would help with context.
Because right now, like, it's like,
you're almost going to a totally different page.
Yeah, it is a little hard.
I mean, you have your name up there at the top, though.
So you do know what group you're in, still.
Yeah, but it's not like, this is a little easier,
because then you can just toggle,
jump between this group to that group.
And that's a painful step.
If you're in here and you want to go to a different group,
which a lot of, like, the super admins,
like, kind of role would want that, to jump between them.
Then you've got to kind of go back and then choose it.
Yeah, hit settings, and then just the bottom,
like, just basically just move,
we'll move all of this just underneath that.
I think we could do that.
That would be good, because it didn't feel easy yet.
It feels a little just, like, jarring
to, like, jump to this other page.
I know we also have this other dashboard,
so we're slowly getting rid of this,
but at least if we kept you guys on the same page.
Great.
Cool.
Good stuff.
And I know we're talking in Slack as well,
but did you get your private, hidden,
public groups figured out?
As far as I know, no.
Okay.
We still have them in public so that they can be joined,
but that does make them visible.
tent visible to, to everybody, which is, is not, we can't have that continue.
So it is a privacy concern to, to make either the ability to hide
public groups or a third setting.
Yeah.
No.
Cause if, if private isn't visible in the Explorer, then they can't join it.
But if it's visible and explore, then it's public, you know?
So if there's like a version where you can join, but it's private too, what I
mean, like, I understand making private groups, not explorable, that makes sense.
Two, but I need a third option.
Yeah.
It's like a public, but it needs approval almost.
Yeah.
Like I want people to be able to join it, but I don't want everyone who's not in
the group to be able to see the content on our brilliant TV platform.
Yeah.
I think the other thing is like, maybe we should just request
access to a public group period.
Um, so there's like a layer between that.
And then maybe if you're in, let's say the, well, I have to get back to, uh, a
group here, if you're in the settings, for example, when you're in members,
maybe there's like pending approval and you could like approve, approve,
approve, and just lets people in.
Do we know if this, um, if this remove user button works, like on the right there,
I, I'm not sure that it does.
Okay.
We can look into that.
I haven't tested it, um, widely, but I did have one guy use it and then it
kind of removed him from the group, but then he couldn't get back in because
in the backend, he already had the group added.
Um, and I had to kind of just like delete him and start over.
So that's here, I think, so that should, should do it.
Let me just, um, check that user in the backend and see if it's still
listed as having, as being in that group.
Uh, it did take them out because that was, I was in the app owners group.
Maybe it had something to do with their status as the admin of that group.
Yes.
If you're an admin, it's not going to take you off or, okay.
You should still be able to remove people if you're the admin of a group.
Okay, great.
I just hadn't had a chance to test it yet.
So I only had that one off case where I was like, I'm sure it works guys.
But, um, but that's, yeah, it was just cause he was an admin.
Okay, great.
Is it, was it a group?
They're admin of a group, but they're not a admin user.
Exactly.
Yeah.
They were, we do need to test that that's untested and that could be what the issue
is, there's something weird with that for sure.
Yeah.
Um, if we note that Carolina, that's actually just going to be a API permissions
thing that we also need to allow, uh, creator roles, which are like your, which
is probably what that person was.
They're not admins.
They're like creator roles, but, um, that's like, that's just one line of code
just to make sure they also have access to, to do that.
Um, cool.
We can do that.
Great.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, great ideas.
Well, we appreciate you guys hopping on here and we'll be back.
And if you guys take some time, like jump into this, we'll try to get very, uh,
active and posting these updates and stuff in here, um, as well.
I've been like dropping, I'll still drop them in Slack.
Don't worry if you guys are in our Slack accounts, like we'll get that to you.
Um, but then if you want, we'll also just cap for like a timeline here.
And so you don't make sure you don't miss anything.
Um, cool.
Yeah.
Appreciate it.
You guys have a great week.
Good luck building your tribes and, uh, we'll, uh, see you guys on the next one.
Cheers.
Bye.
