Hello LVRSNFRNDS,
There's been quite an amount of changes here recently! Last Tuesday we had another productive 💼 Bureau and as this popped in the conversation, we thought it'd be great to produce regular release notes so everybody can keep up to speed. This is #1!
Onboarding
You can now book me for a 30-minute video call with max 4 other members screens where I'll share everything about the past, present and future of LVRSNFRNDS and take you in a private guided tour of the platform before answering all your questions! Whether you joined recently or a few months ago, you are ALL welcome!
Guidelines
We have now a proper Members Playbook and this is only the beginning! We will continuously update it with your help, to date it contains:
🌹 information about LVRSNFRNDS
💯 our Etiquette in all sort of situations
⚙️ guides so you know how to make the most of your membership
🗒 cheat sheets to help you live better relationships
Kudos to the many members who showed up at the 💼 Bureau sessions we had on the Community Guidelines topic. I love what we're building together. Super proud!
Booking
We have now 2 pages on the website to showcase our rendezvous.
Upcoming - great to see what's coming up in a listing view.
Rendezvous - great to know what the rendezvous are about.
Rendezvous
We used to have a 🤙 Salon every Sunday. This has been replaced by 🏕 Campfire for 3 reasons:
- keep a weekly live open forum rendezvous;
- discuss topics like dating, wellbeing, etc. on a recurring basis;
- establish 🤙 Salon as an on demand rendezvous.
'I'd love for 🤙 Salon to be used as one would pick up their phone and call a group of friends for support.' — Sophie
There has been a few mix up with rendezvous names lately. Sorry about this. We'll recap below.
🏕 Campfire was previously named 💗 Réunion.
🎲 Roulette has been replaced by 👀 Confessions, which was basically a 🎲 Roulette with a focus on the 1:1 interactions without the after party. Then some of you were detered by the name so we renamed it straightforwardly 🍸 Happy Hour. Come! It's fun!
We've been searching what works with 📓 Lecture to give you the opportunity to discover members who've been working on specific topics of interest. Again we decided to change the name for something simple and we call it now 🎙 90 Minutes. Come! It's super interesting!
Tech
We have experienced with different video solutions to move away from Zoom and keep the features we need. Thank you for your patience as we tried Google Meet, Whereby and Icebreaker to finally decide to go with 📹 Meetbutter.
'Meetbutter is super straightforward and the interface is really cool! We can do polls, manage a queue of raised hands, chat, share reactions, co-host, have breakout rooms and showcase Youtube videos. Unfortunately they don't offer private chat for now but I hope you'll love it too.' — Samy
We are currently working on an app to enhance your experience with LVRSNFRNDS. Keep an eye on the dedicated Community Forum thread if you want to take part as we regularly ship parts of it.
We have released a fun question prompt generator based on the classic deck of questions used for 🍸 Happy Hour. Have fun using it in any situations and hit us up with sweet questions we could add!
That's all folks! I hope you enjoyed this first update. Feel free to WhatsApp us if you want to share anything about this.
🌹
Sophie
