This work happened behind the scenes. The new site was not yet live.
During this period, the future public site started feeling broader than a directory. Blog pages, city discovery, search improvements, and cleaner contribution flows were all moving into place.
What's new
- Behind the scenes, the blog system and richer public-site content were being built out for the new site
- Behind the scenes, search and discovery flows were getting stronger and easier to navigate
- Behind the scenes, contribution flows for new venues and venue edits were getting more robust, including duplicate-reduction work
- Behind the scenes, RSVP, attendee, friend, and profile interaction work was becoming more complete
- Localization and language-aware routing expanded, especially for French
- Behind the scenes, city-based discovery was taking shape as a core part of the future public site
- Behind the scenes, deploy and serving checks were also getting tighter
Why it matters
This was the stage where the future site started gaining editorial shape, not just product shape.
