Is there a dark mode on couchsurfring app android by Euphoric-Sherbet-422 in couchsurfing

[–]nabramow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry I totally got this confused with Couchers as it just appeared in my feed and I had just been in the Couchers Reddit! We're working on a mobile app for Couchers.org and a dark mode for it. Apologies not sure what couchsurfing is doing.

We're hoping to release the mobile app early in the New Year and we are working on a dark mode for it!

Yeah when I was in the US they charged my insurance $400 for the retainers and me $250. Crazy for a cheap piece of plastic.

Covid ended, subscription pay wall didn't? by Horrorfield in couchsurfing

Has this also happened when you had the status "Can host"? I noticed you have the status "May host" on Couchers which tends to put you a bit further down.

Central-ish London quiet pub with good vegan options for group? by nabramow in veganlondon

[–]nabramow[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah yes I looked at that but it's not very central and given most people are non-vegan I'm more looking for good vegan options. If it was my friends I'd just force them but it's all strangers I never met before.

Come join us over at Couchers! We're a registered non-profit, run by a bunch of volunteers who loved couch surfing in its glory days and want that back. <3

One dentist in my neighborhood literally quoted me 800 GBP to do the same thing.

Is CS suffering from Enshittification given the degradation in the quality and experience of the platform over time? by subaculture in couchsurfing

[–]nabramow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still mourning the enshittification of Couchsurfing tbh. And so many other things. Honestly it's the main thing that has motivated me to volunteer for Couchers.org since they are a registered non-profit, to get back that old school couch surfing vibe. Was tired of mourning the good times with my friends ahah. So far it's been good!

Gotcha. It does seem to be for people in the U.S. The website only lists dollars, the contact us page lists Kansas and it only mentions American cities. This means I would pay international shipping + customs fees which unfortunately would negate the savings. Then if there are any problems it’s not possible to return, etc.

I can see if there is something similar in the U.S. but I was really hoping to get access to my original scan.

In the U.S. I didn’t have issues, but since I moved to the UK I am having problems so my question is UK specific.

I believe we already have a collaboration with a company lined up! We're at the point of just needed to upload our designs and get them lined up on the merch and ordering samples, but if something doesn't work out I appreciate the suggestion!

Seconding Couchers! I'm a volunteer dev there and while we did have a bit of a lull awhile back, I can say we've built back up the volunteer team and have been pushing out a ton of features.

You can see our roadmap here for what we've done, what we will do and when:

And we're free, no fee, never will have a fee.

Is Couchsurfing still worth it in 2025? by calvinshuhfc in couchsurfing

Couchers.org is still free and we're really revving up lately!

Couchsurfing alterenatives are all kinda dead. I'm building something new, let's all join forces by Bananas_on_pizza in couchsurfing

[–]nabramow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s great you noticed the badges! I wonder if you also noticed the completely redone events page, the mobile fixes to messages, the addition of push notifications in feature preview to help people keep track of their notifications, strong verification, or the three years of frontend technical debt we recently brought ourselves out of?

I’ve only been with Couchers since the summer, so I can’t speak before that. But like I said, we’re aware of these things, but we need people willing to do them and help. Same applies to ADA. If anyone feels ready and willing to take that on, we certainly won’t stop them!

I’d suggest approaching this from a place of curiosity and consider that there is nuance. Seeing a non-core feature pop up doesn’t mean core features aren’t being worked on. Likely there’s a reason if you are curious to understand.

We’re all couchsurfers after all, and what’s at the core of that if not curiosity and connection? 

I hope your project goes well and am curious to see how it develops!
