New Features And Improvements

Last week, we finished a two week development sprint. With Fernando helping, our progress was accelerated. Here’s what we accomplished:

1. Redesigned the chats UI

2. Added animating images for Boost projects. This means images will cycle through automatically in a carousel style.

3. Added tap to copy a message feature.

4. Added depth to cards in the crowdfunding feed.

5. Added a More tab, containing multiple new sections including feedback and support.

6. Added detailed information when tapping on transactions in the wallet tab.

7. Added dynamic loading of projects when scrolling. This makes the crowdfunding feed much more scalable by speeding up refresh time and loading projects that the user is viewing first.

8. Added a one-time option when transacting with an address. This allows you to send or request Ether or ELIX from an address without adding them as a contact.

9. Added the ability to edit or delete a contact.

10. Added the ability to add/edit the sender of incoming transaction as a contact by tapping their avatar.

11. Fixed many more small issues and worked to improve the performance of the app.

12. Added another 35 testers to the latest iOS build.

13. Added multiple new creator profiles and items as well as campaigns.

14. Sent the Android build out to very small number of testers. We’re making some improvements and changes over the next week and anticipate releasing it to a larger set of testers soon.

That’s it for this week! We’re starting a new sprint tomorrow, and will back soon with more updates.
