What’s New in This Version This update focuses on making Nerd Needs feel smoother, safer, and easier to understand. • New MapLibre-powered map experience We upgraded the map system for better performance, smoother movement, and a more stable lobby discovery experience. • Improved map stability Lobbies should now appear more consistently across users, with better refresh behavior and fewer issues when entering, leaving, or viewing active lobbies. • New map animations Lobby markers and map visuals now feel more alive, polished, and responsive. • Heat map improvements The map now gives a clearer sense of where activity is building so users can find active areas and nearby community energy faster. • Captain beacon support Lobby Captains now have improved visibility tools so active community leaders can stand out and help guide users inside lobbies. • Profile background customization Users can now add a custom background to their profile, giving their profile page more personality and style. • First-time tutorial prompts New users will now see simple tutorial popups that explain each major area of the app, including lobbies, map, inbox, feed, and profile. • Stronger precise-location privacy Lobby locations are now handled with more privacy protection. Users can see their own precise location, but lobby markers are created in a way that keeps actual user location hidden from others. • General fixes and cleanup We also fixed several issues found while improving the map, lobby, captain, profile, and tutorial systems.

Nerd Needs 1.0.1 introduces Lobby Captains and several community, privacy, and stability improvements. What’s new: • Lobby Captains are now supported for approved lobbies, giving real community members a clearer role in helping guide conversations and keep lobbies active. • Improved lobby and community notification handling for a cleaner, safer experience. • Strengthened privacy protections around message previews, reports, notifications, exports, and deleted-account records. • Improved backend safety for public profiles, private messages, blocked users, and account deletion flows. • Reduced sensitive information in internal logs and admin-related responses. • Improved media handling safeguards for public content and profile-related data. • Better consistency for map/lobby data responses while preserving existing map behavior. • General bug fixes, cleanup, and performance/stability improvements. This update keeps the approved Nerd Needs experience intact while preparing the app for a stronger, safer community rollout.
