Good morning gardeners ! This week has been very busy for us behind the curtains, we mostly worked on how to bring Aphylia as a business to life. But we didn’t forget you, and here some notable updates we did this week !
Email Verification
From now on, when you create an account on Aphylia, you will have to verify your email. To do that, once you reach the email verification page, an email will be sent to you with a code. You also have the possibility to change your email if needed in the parameters of your account. You will receive two emails, to confirm the change of address and to verify it.
Garden Chat Logo
We have now a new logo for our garden chat. This one is more intuitive and is more adequative to a feature through which you can chat and ask questions to help you take care of your garden.
Bug catchers
As you know, we have recruited a couple of bêta testers during the past weeks. Beta testers, or how we like to call them : bug catchers. As a bug catcher, you have access to all our features in a purpose to try them and eventually find issues or improvement ideas you would like to submit to us. We have developped different ways to contact to make it as easy as possible :
On the app, you have a feature named bug catcher through which you can report bugs you find. For each bug you report you win few points. If the bug is new, you get more points. Collect as much as possible and be our number one bug catcher.
We have also created a discord for the Aphylia community. You can join it and talk with other gardeners but also submit your findings and ideas through the dedicated channels.
We are still looking for beta testers, so if you are interested to join the adventure, don’t hesitate to contact us or join our discord : https://discord.gg/Rdz3fur5uC
