Team shoutouts

FergusRooney — Thanks for setting up the signed Android build path and making production web deploys wait for backend updates, so releases are safer to ship.

fergus rooney — Thanks for making staging account switching work without repeated Google sign-in and strengthening the fixture setup behind it.

hasannaved — Thanks for helping keep the web-push Edge Function compatible with Supabase’s deployment and import setup.

hasheather — Thanks for adding a clear, confirmed account-deletion path in Settings, giving people direct control over their account.

josemonsunnyceo — Thanks for bringing reporting and blocking controls to posts, comments, messages, and profiles, with a menu that works reliably across the app.

Changelog

Added block and report controls for accounts, posts, comments, and messages; blocking also removes the connection and stops direct messages.

Added permanent account deletion to the Safety tab, with a clear confirmation step and cleanup of the signed-in session.

Fixed web photo uploads being blocked by the site security policy, and moved thumbnail processing off the photo-saving path so saved photos do not fail when resizing is slow.

Added “People you may know” suggestions and made the first-friend checklist step skippable when someone does not know anyone yet.

Added clearer next steps to empty feeds, spot lists, diaries, and wishlists, including direct buttons to add a place or find people.

Made the preview message a first-run note instead of a banner that returns every session, while keeping feedback easy to find in the menu.

Added a manual workflow for producing signed Android APK and Play Store AAB builds.

Production web deployments now wait for Supabase updates and skip unnecessary frontend redeploys when no frontend files changed.

HOTSPOTS

More control over your hotspots

A few helpful updates are here to make sharing places feel safer and simpler.

Block and report with confidence

You can now report posts, comments, messages, or accounts, and block someone to stop seeing each other’s content and messages.

Delete your account from Settings

The Safety tab now includes a clear, confirmed way to permanently delete your account and its content whenever you choose.

More reliable photo saving

Photos now save without thumbnail processing getting in the way, so your place memories are less likely to be interrupted during upload.

An easier way to find your people

Find People now suggests accounts you may know, and you can skip the first-friend step until you are ready.
