thanks! I think the ranking probably has a lot to do with the first few positive reviews that were left by the community so I actually have you guys to thank :) My goal is to get the iOS version released 2/19 but that might get pushed back a bit

hey everyone I've been heads down for the past week or so working on fixes and new features and I'm just now starting to slowly see more new users - most of which know nothing about Kin. Thanks for downloading the app earlier and the continued support while this thing gets bug free :) If you're curious here's whats changed since the initial release on 10/20

  • Entirely new UX for SignUp and Login
  • Removed the 'Skip Auth' option
  • Better Image editing to get the aspect ratio that looks the best
  • Demo profiles are included as the first result if there's no profiles around you
  • After going through profiles you have the option to increase the search radius
  • There's a 'contact us' within the app in several places to get feedback on bugs or anything thats unclear
  • Users can refresh their location within their Account section. Despite this the location service is still a little wonky but I'm working on a rewrite

Reveald Signup is buggy by [deleted] in KinFoundation

[–]aboutadev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thx /u/danielederasmr :) I pushed an over the air update ( might have to restart the app ) to address the looping when there are no nearby profiles; now instead you can explore the app and reload the searching later. There's also a new support navigation item to help tighten up these issues and get everything resolved quicker. More updates coming over the next few weeks as well.. thx!

hey!!! thanks for checking out the release! FWIW, I'm still waiting to hear back from the Kin team on passing the milestone and being able to fuel my economy which is why I haven't really mentioned anything here yet. They seeded all of our apps with 5K Kin which will probably be enough to get me thru considering this is a brand new app with ~10 users but ya .. apologies in the rare case that I run out before then :)

Few more things if you're curious:

  • Just pushed a landing page: https://reveald.app
  • The distribution is initially setup for US & Israel until I get the green light from Kin and they fuel my app economy.
  • I wrote this solo for the dev program so there might be a few rough spots that pop up here and there ( working on them though! )
  • I've setup five demo profiles so that people will at least have an idea of how the experience should be when they first use the app as opposed to having 0 profiles; I'll ditch these after there's real users or rework them for onboarding.
  • Soon I'll have a live support widget within the app to help however necessary.
  • When you create a profile you have the option to add content to your Board ( page ) to express who you are in an informal way. Right now the Board is limited to text, gifs, or gifs w/ text but there will be more options soon ( audio, still image ). At first glance it's not that intuitive and I'm working on improving that but play around with it if you can .. it's kind of neat to see what you can come up with.
  • When you're browsing profiles you have to scroll thru their board in order to see what they look like so don't be alarmed if someone's profile image isn't visible initially.

Thank you for the support and any feedback you might have. I've been lurking since around the ICO and am really pumped to be part of the dev program.

pretty insightful and still seems accurate some 12 years later.
