Attendees: Zach, Meggs

Current Projects & Activations

Audio/Video Update — Rollout started but had to pause due to issues. Getting to Beta group soon, then rollout will resume.

Flowers vs. Powers — New gift dropping tomorrow. Characters will be ongoing and part of the lore moving forward.

Studio Desktop App — Going to Beta this week. Will be easier to use than the web version and will include the new audio/video system.

Coming Soon

App Rewrite — Should fix overheating. Will make pushing updates significantly easier once complete.

Holiday Gifts — Memorial Day and Pride Month gifts coming. Team will try to add more over time but can't promise to cover every holiday.

World Cup Activation — Aiming to start June 11 or 14, running mid-June into mid-July. New format and a small new feature included.

Widgets — Very close to releasing goal widgets (coin goals, gift goals, summit pushes, verification level-up pushes). You'll be able to add these while live. Adds to the gamification of the app.

Verification — UI being overhauled soon. Gifters will want to be verified too.

Coming Someday (Post-Rewrite)

• Ability to pin gifts / adjust gift notification placement (could possibly come before rewrite)
• Other ways to get verified outside of giving or receiving coins
• Fix for mirroring issue in boxes
• More box participant analytics

Misc

• Boston details in Discord announcements channel
• Eventually more targeted marketing in specific countries
• VidCon — Zach will be there and speaking (in the most expensive track)
• Chat and inbox filter will be adjusted over time
