I was building a social media platform with a special algorithm that gives new voices or communities a better chance of being discovered.
And... it's Crowdwide!
Today is Day 29 of giving updates on its v1 version, and its v2 version is going to release on 1 November 2026. Not too far...
The biggest thing... I got a brand ambassadorrrrrrrr... π
FINALLY!!
I got a brand ambassador! Her name is Divyanshi ---> @technogamerz
I have updated that on the main site of Crowdwide too!
The bug buster of Crowdwide, @effessdev has reported 2 more things.
1. Even logged-in users were getting the option to "Join Crowdwide" and "Sign In"
On the main page, even logged-in users were seeing the options to "Join Crowdwide" and "Sign In" until they opened the navbar and saw the option "Open App".
So, to solve this, I just added one thing: now every user who is logged in will be redirected directly to /dashboard.
And to visit the landing page even after logging in, you can visit /?landing=1.
Okay... I remember one more thing...
A few days back, some of my users suggested that they had to log in again and again whenever they opened Crowdwide.
I was thinking... everything was already getting stored as cache... so why was this happening?
I found nothing, so I didn't make any changes about it...
But then I rememberedβmaybe they just didn't see the "Open App" option and directly clicked on "Join Crowdwide" or "Sign In" again. π
UI mattersss, my brothaaa... UI matterssssssss ππ₯
2. EffessDev reported a navbar UI issue
EffessDev reported that the navbar on the landing page was too close to the corner, almost touching it, which wasn't looking good.
Actually, I was ignoring these small issues because I never thought someone would notice them.
But... EffessDev's eagle eyes were finding bugs... and he got it!! π
Before:

screenshot in dark theme... lol
These are solved now!!
And I forgot to tell you that in my last update, I also improved notifications!
Now they have categories like:
- Today
- Yesterday
- All
- Unread
And "Mark as Read" doesn't reload the page anymore! π
And currently, Crowdwide has this much progress:
21 members
80 posts shared
4 communities
Finally completed 80 posts!! ππ₯
