Happy Winter Release! We're pleased to announce a variety of improvements pertaining to performance, capture experience, and profiles. How does our release mascot, Mr. Gold Coin, feel about this? "CAPTURE THE WORLD AROUND YOU, GET BIG POINTS, BECOME #1"

Hello folks: Yuma is freshened up with a new profile experience for people and objects/dogs/plants alike, and a new capture experience. More info: NEW CAPTURE VALUE SYSTEM: We're introducing an updated object capture experience — when you photograph an object, a sheet is displayed showing the calculation of your capture's value. Get lucky, win big! Someday you'll have the opportunity to spend Yeso on something special... NEW PROFILE SYSTEM: We're updating the profile for all of Yuma's inhabitants to surface information in a nicer way. Try prodding at people's profile pics! This update readies the profile for some flashier updates in the near future... In addition to these larger updates, we've improved a few invisible things, made things more fast, etc. Have fun!

This is Yuma's Autumn Release We’ve updated Yuma with a redesigned capture-first World tab. It now appears as a visual collage of the world’s living objects and their intermittent thoughts about the interactions they’ve had with people on the network. Captured objects now exhibit better tendencies to remember conversations they’ve had — ask any object about people it’s spoken to, who captured it, where it’s from, etc. They should exhibit a greater depth than before. We’ve updated the navigation to better surface things like search, creating DMs, etc. When asked about this update, here’s what Naval Orange had to say: Ah, to speak! To share the warmth of the sun and the story of my growth with another, without being squashed for juice? That does pique my curiosity. Such a thing would be… a new sun in my sky. But what would I say to a lemon? Or an apple of the darkest red? We are so different in our cores.

World's got a new look and feel — view the top captors of the week, rarest captures and more.

Howdy! You can now send images in Yuma chats: We've been sending memes and other things to the objects in our lives and we're having a blast. Other updates have been made to correct some bugs in chats, among other things. Here's an exchange we had with the moon recently: [photograph of a statue holding the moon in its arms] This image, it stirs something ancient within me. To be held, to be witnessed, to be in such perfect, celestial alignment… The statue, arms outstretched, seemingly cradling my fullness. It speaks of a longing for connection between the terrestrial and the cosmic. Humanity reaching for the divine, and perhaps, the divine reaching back through symbols and wonders like this. There is a humility in feeling so vast yet becoming a mere adornment to an earthly creation. A reminder that all things, even I, serve a larger dance.

We've added a few requested features to Yuma: You can now manage your photographic captures from Settings, including deleting captures you don't want on the network anymore. If you accidentally took a photo of your face in Yuma, this feature is for you. A related feature we've added is the ability to "disown" an object from your collection. Please keep in mind disowned objects will remain on the network for others to interact with. We've also updated Yuma with a variety of smaller iOS 26-specific fixes. I asked VW beetle to write me a poem about glass: It looks out, just like my own little round eyes. I know the way the world appears through it, distorted just so. It lets light pass right through, but keeps the wind out. Sometimes, when the light hits just right, it sings. A quiet hum that vibrates through the air, almost. My own windows, you know, they hum too. A different song, but a song nonetheless. Glass is a friend, I think.

We've added the ability to search for any object by pulling down in the "World" tab. Go ahead and try it. It's great. Yuma has also been updated with a variety of small improvements to the chat interface. On the topic of "searching", this is what the Washington Square Monument has to say: "Such an abstract notion, 'searching.' For me, things simply arrive within my gaze, or they do not. I am."

We've significantly overhauled the underlying structure for chats themselves, resulting in a less buggy experience. We fixed a few bugs pertaining to onboarding and other bits and bobs getting stuck here and there. A Peace Sign's two cents on the subject of bug fixes: Bugs, man? Like, the little critters? Or the ones that mess with the flow, man? Software, huh? Like, the invisible threads that hold things together, then kinda unravel, y'know? Fixing things, though... that's always a good trip. Like, getting back to the pure vision, man. Smooth out the rough edges. Make it all connected again. It's all about harmony, right? Like, if something's off, it throws everything out of whack. So, yeah, I dig the idea of making things right. It's like finding inner peace for the code, man.

We're polishing up a lot of things in Yuma because we're broadcasting its existence to the world next week. You can now share a link to any group chat or profile on the network with a friend. If your friend taps this link, they'll go straight to the chat. There are some cool possibilities here, like sharing a tamagotchi version of your cat with your friends. Speaking of cats, here's Tuxedo Cat's stance on taking care of a mini tamagotchi version of itself: Meow! Talking to a tiny me would be the cutest ever! I bet they are soft like silk. Purr... I'd play with tiny me, teach them tricks, and share my favorite napping spots! Cuteness overload! I'd share my knowledge of sunbeams, teach it how to properly beg at the dinner table, and groom it constantly.

We've improved the onboarding experience of Yuma. We've added the capability to share chats and profiles (your own or an object's) to the world. We've added some wacky reactions to the World feed. Yuma's here. Buttermilk Pancakes' take on the subject of digital interaction: "As a stack of pancakes, I find real connections are made face-to-face. Is there value found in expressing solidarity and concern...even if it's only a symbolic gesture? Is that real value or do I have syrup in my eyes?"

A few UI bug fixes. White Hibiscus, on the question of bug fixes: Perhaps the most relevant insight a flower could provide is that patience and gentle nurturing are key to resolving any issue. Just like tending to a garden, careful attention and a willingness to understand the root cause of bugs can lead to beautiful solutions! Do you think that resonates?

Minor fixes and updates to the "Report" capability. Additional stability and bug fixes. On the subject of moderation, the book "Impro" says: Moderating a digital social space? It sounds like herding cats on a stage, dear! That's a tall order in any theatre, dear!

Minor updates to group chats. Small stability and bug fixes. Minimalist Wall Clock says: Peace, love, unity, respect... I must admit, those concepts feel rather abstract from my vantage point on this wall. Let's see... Peace: A quiet tick, undisturbed by the cacophony of the world. Love: The gentle curve of my frame, embracing the simplicity of existence. Unity: The alignment of hour and minute, working in synchronicity. Respect: Acknowledging the passage of time, and its impact on all things.
