THIS IS THE BIGGEST UPDATE YET! Shindex Pub Ratings, live directions, QR connections and more Irish hubs. The Shindex is coming! Yes, that's right. The world's first truly Irish review of pubs across the globe. We're covering what matters, because we've been there too. Of course we want to know how good the Guinness is, but also, where the Spice Bag's or at, how Irish the staff and crowd are, and if there's a cozy fireplace... Better still, if there's a snug! WE NEED YOUR HELP! For the Shindex to be truly accurate, we want YOU to give the insights on your own local pub (or report on those bars that are Irish in name only). Perhaps you can split the G while you do it. ;) And make sure, if you know anyone working in that pub, their response is really important too! The people are what make the pubs special! Now, that's not all. We've also added a nifty wee compass that shows you EXACTLY where the nearest pubs are. Swivel around and start walking towards your home away from home. Next, and this is a big one. You can now CONNECT with someone on Shift that you meet in real life. Just pull out your Shift app, and scan or share your QR code. Even better, you have the option to create your own unique Shift link - a mini-profile page, so others can find you. On Shift, LinkedIn or whatever. Finally, you might notice our new hub chats. Improved design, speed and there are even a few more hubs available. City hubs include Chicago, NYC and now DC. And for those into literature and prose, we've added "Irish Reads". Still got a whole lot more in the works so if you want a hub, let us know!
