Devlog & Alpha Page

  • This Devlog page was launched as a permanent daily log with a fixed side navigation.

  • The Waitlist was completely removed. All “Join” buttons now lead directly to Alpha registration. Previous Waitlist records were exported and the table was removed.

  • All “Pre-Alpha” references on the /alpha page were updated to “Alpha”.

Getting Started Experience

  • A step-by-step Getting Started progress tracker was added to both the Profile and Feed sidebar.

  • The progress trackers in Feed and Profile were inconsistent. They are now aligned.

Needs & Offers

  • Missing or incorrect names and avatars on person-created listings were fixed.

  • Ownership logic for person-created listings on /opportunities was corrected.

Visual & Design

  • A subtle top-to-bottom gradient was added to the background.

  • Borders were removed from Feed cards for a cleaner appearance.

  • Open and close animations were added to the Messages, Invite and Report panels as well as chat windows.

  • The Light/Dark theme toggle had disappeared and was restored to the account menu.

  • The site logo now loads faster and at the correct size.

Account & Company Switching

  • The “Act as Company” control was moved directly below Profile in the account menu.

  • “This is actually my company” no longer forces a redirect to the Company page. The option is now simply highlighted in the menu.

Sign Up & Sign In

  • Sign Up and Sign In buttons were too narrow on both desktop and mobile in both English and Turkish. This was fixed.

  • Logged-out visitors on mobile and tablet now see a clear “Sign In” button instead of an unlabeled icon.

Localization

  • Department names and the role field in Projects were still appearing in English on the Turkish site. They are now properly localized.

Profile | Education

  • The School field is no longer free text. It is now connected to a real, searchable database of approximately 10,000 universities.

Messaging

  • On mobile, opening a conversation through any route, including notifications, the Messages panel or the Message button on a profile, could push the chat window almost completely off-screen and make it unusable. This was fixed and messaging now works properly on mobile.

  • Even when the other person had already replied, every new message could trigger another “X sent you a message” notification. A recent fix had accidentally introduced this issue. It has now been corrected.
