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:
  • Save a profile picture used on your reports
  • Grab your unique URL used for your profile
  • Add your profile to all your mountain out reports
  • Make your profile public: show off those reporting stats ✨

What's your username?? Drop a link in the comments so I can check it out!
Big news: Our first stage of user accounts is here!
(Yes that's right, we have more stages planned like public profiles, leaderboards, and awards and more! Go leave feedback and vote on what you want to see in the future)
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!

We just added two new Telegram channels!

Graph nerds rejoice!
Who likes to see fancy graphs!?
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
when and where
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!
image
Card details:
  • Time
  • Location
  • Mountain out status (Out, Kinda Out, etc)
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:
