Last week the presence of a Pro subscription was teased. You still cannot subscribe to it, but the main marketing site has been updated with details about it and the next next plan which is aimed at Agencies.
#Features
#Calendar Integration
If a user is logged in, they now have the ability to add an Organizer, Location or Event to their calendar. Be it Google, Apple, Outlook or something else. That way, any event that gets added magically shows up.
#New Editor
The editor for creating descriptions of things has been replaced with a better one (which even supports pasting in emojis).
#Bug Fixes
- Events now have a field on them which can point back to the original Facebook or Eventbrite or whatnot event saving users a couple clicks to find it.
- Upgraded the underlying framework to the current version
- A couple things around iCal synchronization discovered once it encountered the Real World[tm]
- Validation errors would cause some fields to be cleared when creating an Event
- If you left the Organizer search idle for awhile, it would give an 'Expired' message when you resumed searching
- Added a 'Danger Zone' for deleting events so an errant click doesn't wipe something out accidentally.
#Marketing ... ish
#New England
Over on the My Derby Diary Facebook page, we published An analysis of New England Roller Derby. The mid-atlantic region should be done by mid-week. There should be a US region per week-ish through the end of summer. Then Europe.
#This Week
Short week as we're off to NYC the tail end of the week, but...
- Adding timezones in more places. Right now it is just on an Event. But will be able to specify it on the Community. Which will cascade as a default to Organizers. Which will cascade as a default to Locations. Events will get its default depending on where it was created from. Which is a lot of work in order to show local times for events and not UTC when they were created via iCal Synchornization, but it is worth it.
- Possibly start on Team support. But that feels like a 'needs a full week' thing. So likely
- Come up with some duplicate detection strategies for Events. (iCal Synchonization will happily do this.)
