20 June 2026
Reviews are here + a smarter attendance flow
- Reviews! After an activity you attended, rate it and the host (1–5 stars, with an optional comment). Post anonymously if you prefer. A host's average rating now shows on their profile — real reputation, built from people who actually showed up.
- Hosts get a much clearer attendance flow. The roster now separates who's checked in from who still needs review, with one-tap Present / No-show / Excuse on each person.
- Big event? New "Mark all remaining as present" button settles a 20+ roster in one tap — no more chasing everyone for a QR scan.
- If your activity ends with members still unmarked, we email you to review the roster before it finalizes — so people who genuinely came don't get recorded as no-shows.

Sign-in sheets, verified badges & smarter profiles
- Hosts can now download their attendee list — print a sign-in sheet for physical signatures or export a CSV. Handy when the venue has spotty internet.
- Founder and Team accounts now carry a blue verified badge, so you can tell it's really us.
- Past and cancelled activities no longer show a broken page. They stay viewable and point you toward similar upcoming activities.
- Activity cards in Explore now lead with the host's banner image.
- Peek before you join: profiles and activities give guests a preview of what's behind sign-up.
- No-shows now count automatically. If you're approved but never check in, your Circle Rep takes the hit — showing up (or cancelling early) always beats ghosting.
- Cleaner times everywhere (18:00 instead of 18:00:00) and a smoother mobile layout.
23 May 2026
Banners, QR sharing, and host accountability
- Hosts can upload a 3:1 banner image — we crop the centre and re-encode it so any photo works. No banner? Activities now show a category-coloured hero gradient instead of plain white.
- Share modal gets a downloadable QR code — print one for IG stories, posters, or coworking flyers, and scanning opens the activity in SatuCircle.
- Edit live activities: description, cost notes, venue (name, address, map), and slots are all editable after publishing. Locked-down: date, time, city, category, visibility, and cost type — those would change what members signed up for.
- If you change the venue, approved members get an email so no one shows up at the wrong place.
- Hosts have 72 hours after the activity ends to finalize attendance. After that, the roster freezes.
- New "Host neglect" Circle Rep rule: if you host an activity with members and never mark attendance, you get a reminder email (1st time in 30 days), then a -5 Circle Rep hit on the second miss.
- New activity categories: Sharing Session and Mentoring.
17 May 2026
Smarter explore + cleaner profiles
- New explore filters: filter by date (today / this week / this month), cost (free / paid), and sort by soonest, most popular, or newest.
- Filters now live in a side drawer — easier to browse on both mobile and desktop, with active filters showing as removable chips.
- Interest tags on profiles now show real category names (e.g. "Founder Coffee") instead of slugs.
- Logged-in users keep the app shell when reading Help, Terms, or About — no more accidentally feeling logged out.
- Stay logged in longer — sessions now last 30 days of inactivity instead of 2 hours.
- Activity search is now case-insensitive on production.
12 May 2026
Mobile-first refresh
- New bottom navigation on mobile — Home, Explore, Search, and Activities one tap away.
- Vanity profile URLs: your profile is now at /@username (the old /u/username still works).
- Founder and Team badges for verified Kodebyte members.
- Landing page now uses a slide-in drawer menu on mobile.
- Notification bell on mobile opens the full notifications page instead of an overflowing dropdown.
5 May 2026
Open registration + new reminders
- Waitlist removed — anyone can sign up directly.
- Email reminder one hour before your activity starts.
- Expanded reserved username list and profanity filter.
- Search page with separate tabs for activities and people.
- Avatar menu cleaned up — Help, About, Terms, and Privacy now live here.
21 April 2026
Q&A on every activity + public previews
- Threaded questions on each activity page — ask the host before requesting to join. Hosts get email notifications.
- Standalone public preview pages at /p/[id] — share an activity link with anyone, no login needed.
- Custom OG cards for shared activity links (looks better on WhatsApp, Twitter, etc.).
- Marketing pages — About, Help, Terms, Privacy, and Feedback — all fully filled in.
10 March 2026
Live attendance + Circle Rep launch
- QR check-in with live roster — hosts see tiles flip to green in real time as members scan in.
- Circle Rep: a 0–100 trust score that reflects your verified attendance, cancellations, and host actions.
- Hosts can cancel an activity with a reason; all approved participants are notified by email.
- Activities auto-complete after they end via a background job, and trust events fire from there.
- Leave activity is blocked once you're checked in — no accidental Circle Rep dings.
