Doing stuff together is still what life is all about. You can now use Oase to keep track of your expenses and settle what you owe.
Doing stuff together is what life is all about. You can now use Oase to make sure that everybody in your community knows when and where you'll do it.
When the option you feel like is the right one for you isn't in the poll, you can add your own options.
Making decisions, especially about when to meet, can be difficult in larger groups. Use polls to coordinate.
You can now find our app in both Apple's App Store and in Google Play Store. Visit the web app to find the links.
We've introduced end-to-end encryption in the app. You can read more about this in the blog post about privacy on our blog.
Kolla Kolla has helped us create the joyful animation that you will meet in our app.
Katinka Bukh has helped us create this wonderful logo, and find our font, Gimlet Sans. Both are inspired by the superellipse which we find to be a very interesting shape.
We're really excited about it, and believes that our core values (which Katinka also helped us identify), is really well represented in the identity.
I'm getting really happy with the abstractions for keeping the client up to date with new data.
I call them projections. On the server, a projection has a schema, a processor and a channel.
The schema knows what is persisted about the projection in the database. The processor knows how to populate the database from the domain events, and broadcasts messages to clients when appropriate. The channel handles the connection to clients, including authorization and DTOs.
It's now really ease to use in the client:
const [oase] = useProjection(`feel:oase:${oaseId}`);
Now just use oase, and trust it will be updated real-time whenever something happens.
Using Phoenix Frameword is really nice. The abstractions around Web Sockets is really is, and it just works.
I've included their Javascript library in the app, and that's basically it. Sockets and channels will reconnect when needed, and I don't have to worry about keeping the connection to the server alive.
And we're off. The dream is to build the go-to platform for communities.
Our (naive) plan is to create a product of high quality, and then let the network effect distribute it.
