Upcoming Features

We’re adding a variety of new features to the ELIX app. For example, when browsing projects, completed or finished projects now have badges on project thumbnails showing their status. More details are also shown in the status details section of each project page. Furthermore, the transaction details page now allows the user to open Etherscan to view each transaction. Check out this demo video showcasing these new features:

We’re also working on the Activity feed and Ledger. This past week, we worked primarily on the back end of these features, and this week will be finishing up the front end. We plan to submit the next build with these new features sometime this week. We are also simultaneously testing these new features on the Android build.

Last week, we held a Reddit AMA with our community to answer any questions about ELIX. You can check out all the questions and answers here. We talked about our plans for upcoming features, ongoing development and design work, as well as the timeline for app release. Here are a few key takeaways from the AMA:

We’re on track to submit the app to the Apple and Google Play Stores by the end of Q2.
