Happy New Year.
I hope you guys had a great Christmas
and a great New Year's,
and we are excited to jump into 2025
with a couple of new Tribe Social updates.
I'm gonna walk through these for you step-by-step
and show you exactly what we have done.
Our focus this update has been
on improving existing features
and just improving functionality and bug fixes throughout.
One of the updates is that
when you are displaying your courses,
we can now see the progress right here.
And also if you click into a course,
your users will see the progress in the top left.
Next, we've added a totally new design for replies.
So if you're in a community like this
and you jump in and you wanna comment on something,
we've updated how the replies look.
So if you jump into a particular post like this,
you can go down to the bottom and hit reply.
And the reply is just right there in line.
We borrowed a few design ideas from Facebook
and created that in the app.
We improved the user pop-up.
So if you're back here
and you're looking at a particular user,
you can tap on that user and you'll get a much better page
and it'll tell you when that user joined.
Also, if I am in a post
and I want to connect with this user that's in a comment,
I can click on this and also start a chat
from inside of a thread.
This just creates a lot of different ways
for people to help build connections inside of your app.
If you're over in the members tab,
you can jump in and see a list of all members
and when they were last active.
If people are on the website
and you wanna help direct them to the app,
users can go to the top right here and click download apps
and they will get a linked page
to jump to any one of your apps.
A big request is also to have push notifications
when you get a DM.
This has been really powerful
since we've been testing it internally.
And so now when someone sends you a DM,
you immediately get a push notification
and when you tap it, you go right into that conversation.
We noticed that this dropdown
was getting a little bit cluttered,
so we've cleaned this up
and we moved the DM button over here
so you can see if there's a new DM and your notifications.
So you can tap on the notifications,
see all of your notifications here.
You can also click on the DM button
and see all of your chats here as well.
Now, if you send a message that you didn't mean to send,
you can now click on this and delete that message like that
and it will take that message out.
Also, you can now go into your DMs
and if you need to delete a message,
you can right click and click delete.
A couple other bug fixes is we had a major scrolling bug
on our community feed.
So if you were on the community page
and someone was scrolling typically all the way down
and then you started to scroll up,
sometimes it would glitch
and we've done a lot to improve the performance of that page
so it's a lot faster and really, really smooth
now when you scroll up and down on the feed.
We've also fixed an option
where you can copy the text from a DM if you need to.
On the members tab, we had a limitation
where we were not showing all of the members.
We were only seeing the first 50,
so that's been fixed as well.
We also fixed a bug where if you're messaging a person
and you wanted to start messaging them,
it would start a new conversation every single time.
That was totally unnecessary.
You wanna keep connections with people ongoing
so when you try to message someone
that you've already messaged,
it will just pick up that previous conversation.
We fixed a bunch of other small things
that we're not even gonna get in today
but I just wanted to highlight those for you now.
What are we working on next?
Well, we're adding group search.
This has been a much requested feature from you
and soon you'll be able to click into your group
and search all your posts, all your lessons,
and basically be able to pull up all the content
related to a particular topic in one place.
We're also adding a brand new tab
for tracking weekly habits.
So if you have a community group
where you have a kind of a regular cadence
of Mondays this happens, on Wednesdays that happens,
you can do that by creating a habit tracking tool
where each day has a different to-do list.
We'll show you a demo of this very soon
but I think it's gonna be great
for a lot of your communities
where you're trying to help people build new habits.
Third thing is we're adding a new bottom navigation
for mobile users.
So before we had the same scroll here at the top,
you would just kind of scroll on your mobile device
and soon we're gonna have some cool icons at the bottom
to jump to those different tabs a lot easier.
That's everything I got for you in this update.
If you have any questions,
you can email us at help at tribesocial.io
and we'll see you on the next update.
