Peerlist Monthly Update: February 2023
Huge improvements to Inbox, Scroll, Profile, and introducing Project Spotlight. A launchpad for side projects.
Hey folks 👋
February was a month where we implemented a lot of feedback that was coming from you. We focused on improving what you needed the most. You will see a lot of improvements to Inbox, Scroll, and your Profile.
Let's get started with:
🔦 Project Spotlight
A launchpad for side projects!
There is a total of more than 15k projects added by people on their Peerlist profiles. We build side projects and often struggle with promoting them. Most of them are so good that they absolutely need to be seen by everyone.
Project Spotlight ↗ is designed to showcase innovative and impactful side projects to a wide audience. It provides a unique opportunity for you to share your work with peers, receive valuable feedback, and potentially gain recognition for your efforts.
It will be a month-long process where you will launch your side project, get maximum support from the community, collect feedback, and improve. At the end of the month, top-3 projects will receive this 👇
📬 Improved Inbox
After the launch of Peerlist Inbox in December, we received a lot of feedback, which has been incorporated and has significantly improved the product.
Image Support
Now you can share images while messaging via Inbox. We realized this is necessary when users were reporting bugs or requesting features using Peerlist inbox 😄.
Inbox Shorthand
With shorthand, you can create shortcuts for calendar links, email, meeting links, and many more that you might need to share frequently in various conversations. You can watch the demo video here.
Message Read Receipt
Quite self-explanatory 😄. Now you will get a double tick when your message is read by the receiver.
