Welcome to another Lunyr dev update! This week we’re excited to announce that the new reward system smart contracts are code complete and undergoing testing. They are approximately halfway tested. Once the reward system launches in late-January 2018 (Supernova, Open Beta), the whole Lunyr platform will be fully functional. This will be a huge milestone. Users will finally begin earning rewards for both sharing and peer reviewing information.

Search has been added to the Lunyr platform. You can now do a keyword search for articles. After the Open Beta launch, articles on Lunyr will begin to appear in search engines such as Google.

Contributors now appear at the bottom of the page. You can click on a contributor’s avatar to view submissions made to the Lunyr platform.

We are redesigning the Menu for a smoother experience. It can now be hidden or expanded to the side. (Ignore the cursor on the X)

You will now be able to hide markup in Review Mode

The Citation Generator design is currently in progress

The Discover Articles page will have filters. One of the filters will allow you to focus on Ethereum project or crypto project articles. There will also be a section for featured articles.
