Early Access & v0.99 Update Patch Notes

November 27, 2020 - We’ve come extremely far in bringing this concept to life and wish to extend our sincere thanks to you for staying patient as we work to improve the app and overall user experience. There are many new features on the roadmap ahead, so make sure to keep coming back for updates.

With that said, our recent development has been and will remain focused on one major backend change that will empower us to provide faster and more efficient updates to you, the users (collabers).

Your ongoing feedback is integral to our core product and we look forward to getting more feedback that will drive development decisions.

To improve your access to our team and receive faster responses, we invite you to join our Discord community, where you can share your collabs, interact with others in the community and engage with our team.
