February 2023 - Finished Hubs at Events & Improved Invites
What's New
This month was a bit of a slower one but delivered on two considerable features. Events at Hubs are now live and usable. Also, users can now invite other users based on filters such as per Hub they're an admin of, a member of, or per Event, they've created or been invited to. This allows users to more easily find & invite the group of people they'd like to their new community Hub or Event.
What's Upcoming
Good progress has been made this year both on the events feature set and improving the user invite functionality.
This month I think I'll be working on the two remaining features for Events, geofences & Min/Max capacity. I've also been continually thinking about how I can build out Hubs to make them as useful as possible for facilitating community gathering spots. This may result in some reworking of the roadmap in the upcoming months. I think this will include something along the lines of scheduled automation for Hubs and more communication tools for users and admins of Hubs.
