Skene 1.1.2 — Show of Hands

v1.1.2

July 13, 2026

This update adds polls to chat and lets you turn a feed post into an activity, plus a faster app start and a batch of fixes.

Feed

  • Added “Create activity” to a post’s menu — the creation flow opens pre-filled with the post’s category, place, tags, and people. The post shows a card linking to the activity, and the activity links back to the post.
  • Added multiple places to a post — a plan can float between spots until it firms up.
  • Moved the composer’s Post button into the form and made the category picker full width.
  • Improved feed loading — location updates no longer blank out the feed while it refreshes.

Chat

  • Added polls — type /poll in any chat to vote on options or times. Supports multiple choice; the poll creator can close and reopen it.

Activities

  • Added an editable title field to activity creation and editing — leave it empty to keep the auto-generated name.
  • Replaced the icon-only join button with a labeled Join button in lists.
  • Fixed vertical scrolling in the activity creation steps on small screens.

General

  • Improved cold start speed — the app renders instantly from cached settings while auth loads in the background.
  • Updated the logo and all app icons to sharp vector versions.
  • Added reporting for discussion comments via a three-dot menu (feed, activity, place, and What’s new discussions).
  • Comment authors’ names and avatars now open their profile.
  • Updated the privacy policy and terms of service.

Fixes

  • Fixed the keyboard hiding the name input during onboarding.
  • Fixed opening directions — Apple Maps now routes correctly, and you get a message if no maps app is available.
  • Deleting your account now also removes your discussion comments.
  • Deleting a post now removes the linked activity’s “created from a post” chip.
  • Removed loading spinners that only flashed on fast-loading screens.

Skene 1.1 — Feed

v1.1.0

July 2, 2026

Skene 1.1 turns the app social — a Feed replaces LFG, profiles get a home, and per-place chat becomes a discussion.

General

  • Added a Feed — a social home for posts, comments, and lightning reactions (replaces LFG).
  • Added a menu tab that gathers navigation, settings, and What’s new in one place.
  • Moved notifications into People & Messages and added conversation pinning.
  • Added a What’s new screen so you can follow updates, like them, and comment.
  • Updated onboarding with a single Feed-focused intro.

Profiles

  • Redesigned profiles with a posts section, activity categories, and upcoming activities shown as cards.
  • Added a followers list you can open from any profile.
  • Enlarged and centered the name in the profile header.

Activities & Places

  • Replaced per-place and per-activity chat with feed-style discussions — comments and reactions.
  • Decluttered activity and place detail bars into labeled actions with an overflow menu.

Privacy

  • Hid your email from other users.
  • Added a confirmed display name at sign-up.
  • Added profile sharing.

Sign-in

  • Made password the primary sign-in, with an email code as the secondary path.
  • Clearer split between signing in and signing up with email.

Fixes

  • Fixed hidden and followers-only activities leaking to viewers who shouldn’t see them.
  • Fixed place deletion being blocked.
  • Fixed the activity menu staying open after reporting a post.
  • Made the discussion composer stay above the keyboard.
  • Fixed chat back-navigation when returning from a cross-tab conversation.
