PPPs: Week 1 🚀

Plans 📆

  • Next week we will work on the Community directory.

Progress ✅

  • This week we levelled-up the Web App to use caching (Android already did this). This has drastically improved the performance of the Web App and comes with much more resilience as the app can now work very well whilst offline.

  • We started to get spam locations being created via the 'Noob' web form and so we had to switch our attention to implementing a lightweight captcha solution that wasn't privacy intrusive. We did consider implementing a hashcash style micro fee to post (10 sats), but decided against it so as not to introduce additional friction in the UX, particularly for non Lightning users!

  • Gene created custom OG images for most of the URLs.

  • A 'verified' check-mark is now shown against locations with a survey date within the last year. Live on Android and Web App.

  • Users last map location is now stored, making the re-entry UX much smoother.
