Report — October 18th

This week, the development team deployed a much-anticipated feature to our web platform: pinned messages in public chat! We wanted to give pool members a way to make their voices heard. Pinning messages allows pool members to pay Guppies to pin compelling messages for other members to see. The team also worked to mitigate various minor bugs on our web platform, such as join request errors, leading to a smoother and more refined experience for our web users. We hope you enjoy the latest version of Matchphool!

What’s New This Week?

FEATURE ADDITIONS

Pin your content for the whole pool to see!

We wanted to develop a way for pool members who have interesting things to say to have their voice heard. So, we’ve developed pinned messages for pool members to pin messages to the top of their pool’s public chat! This feature allows users to pin compelling and relevant content. This is a great feature for making announcements in the pool, such as highlighting important dates, or promoting events. Next week, we will be deploying a full fledged feature highlight to give the community a step-by-step guide for how they can start pinning messages in their own pools.

Note: Pinned messages are only enabled for pools with an associated Ethereum address.

BUG FIXES

  1. Fixing the inability of pool administrators to accept pool join requests

We’ve fixed a recurring issue where pool admins were at times unable to approve join requests. We want you to be able to accept as many people into your pool as possible and now you can.!

2. Certain users unable to join pools

The “Join Pool” icon wasn’t appearing for some users, rendering them unable to join pools. We’ve resolved this issue and uses can now join all the pools they want.!

Upcoming Features

Next week, the team will be focused on completing the development of Member-to-Admin direct messaging and deploying it to our web platform. This feature will allow pool members to pay a small amount of Guppies to message the pool administrator directly. Pool members will no longer have to post in public chat to get the attention of the admin; instead users will be able to directly contact the administrators of their favorite pools. directly!

Conclusion

The deployment of the pinned message feature and various bug fixes to the platform were implemented to enhance your matchmaking experience. We’re really excited to have our community start pinning fascinating content! If you have feedback about our new message pinning system, you can let us know on our official Telegram chat! Thanks

Yours,

The Matchpool Team.
