Lunyr Dev Update — Release on all mainstream platforms coming soon
Hi everyone! Welcome to another Lunyr update. We’re proud to share our progress for the past couple weeks!
Desktop Dapp releasing on March 26, 2018
We will be broadening our audience soon through the release of a Lunyr desktop dapp for Mac. The Lunyr Windows dapp will be released shortly afterward. The first version of the desktop versions will require some testing so we’re looking for beta testers who can help provide feedback and hunt for bugs.
Iphone and Android app coming soon
After the release of the Desktop dapps, we plan on releasing Lunyr on Iphone and Android. The expected timeline for release is 2–3 months.
Writing Manual releasing April 4, 2018
One of our goals to improve the quality of articles on Lunyr platform will be to establish best practices and standards. We will be releasing a writing manual on April 4, 2018. Writers and peer reviewers will soon have a reference to follow while evaluating articles. The overall article and peer review quality should improve afterward.
Writing Course and Exam
Writers will soon be required to demonstrate an acceptable level of competence for writing and peer reviewing before they’re allowed to publish and peer review content. We will be releasing a course and exam. These requirements should drastically improve the article quality.
2x faster performance!
We’ve dramatically cut our bundle size so that the initial load of our dapp at least 2x faster. There should be a significantly noticeable improvement in the load speed of all pages and content on the Lunyr platform.
Reimbursement
We are now fully up-to-date with all reimbursements up until March 16th. Reimbursements will be sent out every Friday-Saturday.
