Hey everyone!

We’ve just added a brand-new webcam view to the app, and it’s a good one. You can now check if the mountain is out with an amazing perspective from the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle! 🌇🏔️

This new view offers a stunning look at The Mountain, right from the heart of the city. It’s perfect for those crisp, clear days when Tahoma/Rainier decides to show off.

Keep exploring, keep reporting, and let us know what you think of this new addition! As always, we’re working hard to bring you more ways to connect with The Mountain.

Go check it out and see if the mountain is out today! 👀🌄

We’ve made some behind-the-scenes improvements to the app’s database to make everything faster and smoother for you! We won't bore you on the technical jargon but just know we updated using best practices for the database and optimized performance to ensure quicker load times and a more seamless experience.

Enjoy the difference next time you check if the mountain is out! 🌄

Hey everyone!

Thanks for hanging in there and reporting the mountain out if you see it!

We've been crazy busy shipping lots of little changes behind the scenes that do boring things like improve the UI and lay groundwork for the upcoming photo upload feature. (YES! That's right, it is coming!)

I'm super excited to say you can now you can setup your public profile:

Here's how my live profile looks!

What's your username?? Drop a link in the comments so I can check it out!

Now you can login across devices and those reports will be saved under your single account. And you can see your prior reports once you login.

This is a big first step in our future vision for this app because user accounts lay the foundation for lots of future work. Like super fun things like photo uploads!

Now you can see all our latest updates from this very changelog without leaving the website! (So meta right?!)

And boom baby here it is:

Pretty rad huh?

We just added two new Telegram channels!

Download Telegram if you haven't already (it's free!) and join them today!

Graph nerds rejoice!

I just added a new "status" page so you can see when if and when our app and website go offline. Hopefully this will never happen, but at least if it does y'all can see this pretty website and graphs!

What's up mountain nerds!

We just launched a new feature that will help keep everyone updated The Mountain is out. Mountain out auto-tweets!

Anytime we get a Mountain out report it will now be posted on Twitter with a lovely little card showing all the details!

Card details:

And what's even more exciting is the map background on this card will be replaced by image uploads once that feature is added! 💥

And for webcam reports it shows the image from the webcam:
