Smarter Every Day Patrons asked to help break stuff.
Added 2015-08-08 17:25:21 +0000 UTCAlright guys, here's a pretty interesting opportunity we have. Patreon just released a Beta version of their first mobile app, and they asked me if I knew where a large group of SUPER INTELLIGENT, AND PATIENT PEOPLE were to help test the early days of the app and figure out what's wrong with it. Obviously... that's you. They're not releasing this to the masses... only to people they think will provide really good feedback on the user experience.
It's in Beta, meaning IT'S NOT PERFECT. If you're interested in shaping what the future Patreon app is going to become you can download the beta test version and give it a test spin to try to figure out what's good and what's bad about it. I like it because it has an instagram-like feature where I can post things on the fly... but I'm apprehensive to use it to it's fullest extent because I don't want to inundate you with posts. It also has a neat "Destin is chatting live right now" feature where we can do an impromptu chat if I'm waiting for an airplane or something. It would notify you so you could hop on with me if you're interested in doing that.
If you'd like to wait until all the kinks are out of the system, then DON'T download this... but if you'd like to influence what the future of Patreon looks like in a very real way, then download this and give it a shot!
Here's the download like (iphone)
and HERE's the email address to send complaints/suggestions to:

2015-08-10 05:31:09 +0000 UTCI guess they don't believe in Windows phone like most app developers.

2015-08-09 06:08:21 +0000 UTCThere ya go folks! David is a developer at Patreon helping with both apps!
Cole Palmer
2015-08-08 19:31:36 +0000 UTCAndroid's coming in the next few weeks! And thanks for all the feedback :D web comments should also be live, so you can follow along on the website if you don't have the app

2015-08-08 19:26:55 +0000 UTCSecond that, patiently waiting for the Android version...
2015-08-08 18:33:15 +0000 UTCANDROID!!!!!
2015-08-08 18:22:30 +0000 UTCHah, I actually thought about that too. I switched to Android a few years ago and I'm not going back to iOS but I have an iPhone as work phone since the company I work for only use Apple stuff.

2015-08-08 18:19:48 +0000 UTCNo... Video is still important for spreecast

Marc Bergeron
2015-08-08 18:06:10 +0000 UTCDestin, are you looking to replace Spreecast with this?

2015-08-08 17:48:49 +0000 UTCThanks for letting us know about Kangaroo pouches. I would've died never knowing...thought it was just a pocket like the one that comes in front of overalls.

2015-08-08 17:41:43 +0000 UTCThis live feature is super cool!
2015-08-08 17:41:33 +0000 UTCSo you can make certain creators send you notifications?
Smarter Every Day
2015-08-08 17:40:50 +0000 UTCSo it's possible to follow from your computer too then. Doing it in the comments section can get confusing for people checking the post later tho

2015-08-08 17:40:33 +0000 UTCSigh.... Android?
Aner Nitsan
2015-08-08 17:40:33 +0000 UTCTrue. If we can figure it out we should tell them how to change it

Austin Burnham

Smarter Every Day
2015-08-08 17:37:14 +0000 UTCI'm using the app now, so far so good. A little slow loading, but it's manageable.
Lisandro Gutierrez
2015-08-08 17:36:39 +0000 UTCI'm interested but I'll have to wait for the Android version.
Simon Vacker

Smarter Every Day
2015-08-08 17:35:29 +0000 UTCActually, this is perfect! Testing and evaluation, mostly of software, is what I do for living! Too bad I'm an Android user though...
