Pre-Alpha#01

Aug 13, 2026

The Alpha page was redesigned from scratch and the new “Why UmayNow?” version was launched.

Visual issues left over from the domain migration were fixed.
People can now share structured Needs and Offers directly from the Feed. This was previously available only to companies.
The Needs and Offers flow for companies was completed.
A new Opportunities tab was added to person profiles to display their shared opportunities.
The issue where images added to listings were not appearing in the Feed was fixed.
The issue where shared listing links sometimes opened as blank pages was fixed.
Interested and messaging flows for person listings were aligned with company listings.
Long posts in Ecosystem Highlights were shortened and duplicate posts were prevented.
The share box was changed to expand as you type instead of using internal scrolling.
The default post type was changed to Knowledge, with custom guidance text for each post type.
The minimum allowed cover photo dimensions were reduced.
The transparent square issue that could sometimes appear when cropping profile photos was fixed.
The All tab was improved so it no longer appears to run out of content too early when there are only a few posts.
The Messages, Report a Problem, and Invite boxes were updated so only one can be open at a time. They now close when clicking outside while keeping any text already entered.
Clicking outside the Needs/Offers form now asks for confirmation before closing instead of immediately discarding the form.
