Has someone posted a really interesting goal? Now you’ll be able to reply to someone’s post in the bulletin board when you want to cheer them on or give kudos.

In addition to sharing a goal, we’re adding in a bulletin for sharing wins from the week. After that, our slack channels for announcements and tech support & ideas will be moving to over to bulletin boards as well. This way there’s no need to hop between two apps. The design will still say simple and clean though, without taking up a lot of space.

When you join or create a scheduled Groove, we’ll show a button to enable you to invite someone into that Groove using a special referral link. This means that not only can you invite other Groovers (by sharing the link in a chat, for example) - you can also invite people from off-platform to join you in that scheduled Groove. This can make it a lot easier to give friends a smoother landing when you want to invite them into the app or help them start Grooving.

E.g.: “Want to join me in a writing Groove on Thursday at 3PM? Here’s the link…”

When you share a link inside of a chat, instead of it showing up as plain text, it’ll show up more appealingly as a preview image with bolded headline and some preview text.

See what friends and community members are working on this week, and be able to high five them - right from their profile.

Have you wondered where your time is going in Grooves? Want to track how much time you’re spending towards a bigger goal? Who you’re Grooving with the most, or who you’ve referred? We’re exploring a groovy dashboard for that.

Highlighting Groove milestones or contributions on your profile as a way to celebrate them 🎊

A way to report a Groover and also restrict another Groover from seeing your profile beyond the current ‘don’t Groove together’ feature.

Pronouns and prompts for fun things you can share about yourself to connect with others

Share weekly goals like we do inside of Slack - but now it’s all inside Groove on our brand new bulletin board that you can see on the home screen. You can also tap to high five people’s goals to cheer them on. Can’t wait to see your goal for the week - High five!

Little info indicators to make things clearer:

A way to Groove with people who share things in common with you. A space might be named after an interest or type of work like “coaches” “musicians” “writing” “podcasting” or we may use spaces to onboard communities that exist outside of Groove into the platform (like alumni of an online workshop). When you join, you can create Grooves that are just for space members.

A nudge for new users to add a profile picture every time they try to Groove without one.

Before, you only got notified when people in your orbit were Grooving which meant new members weren't getting any notifications and if you had a small orbit you weren't getting many either. Now, you’ll be notified when “everyone” Grooves are started. You can adjust this by tapping your picture, then 'settings'.

If no one from your previous Groove joins you to “Groove again”, your orbit will be notified after 30 seconds and you’ll have the chance to open your Groove up for anyone to join.

If you start a Groove and no one joins you, you can now get notified when the next one starts (whether that person is in your orbit or not) so you can get into flow asap.
