UI Design Updates

New UI Design Layout.

Fixed onboarding verification code bug.

This update is all about making Raad faster and more reliable. We squashed bugs and polished things behind the scenes so everything — from posting plans to messaging friends — runs smoother. We're just getting started. Got feedback? We're listening.

Read Receipts • You can now see when someone has read your messages in DMs. Both people need to opt in — toggle it on in Settings under Preferences. It's off by default for privacy. Comment Previews on Plans • You can now see the latest comments directly on plan cards without tapping in, so you can quickly catch up on what people are saying. Faster Plan Updates • Plans now refresh automatically in real time. New plans, RSVPs, and updates show up right away without needing to pull to refresh. Default Plan Visibility • New setting to choose who sees your plans by default (friends, everyone, etc.) so you don't have to set it each time you create one. Better Login Experience • Added "Remember Me" option so you stay logged in. Fixed issues where the app would randomly log you out. Push Notifications for New Plans • Get notified when friends create new plans. You can toggle this on or off in notification settings. UI Fixes • Fixed interest chips overflowing on friend cards in the People tab • Fixed duration input (minutes/hours) on the create plan page • Various stability improvements "Specific people" visibility option • In Settings under "Who sees my free status?", there's now a fourth option alongside Everyone, Friends only, and No one. You can pick "Specific people" and hand-pick exactly which friends can see when you're free. This works on both web and mobile with a searchable friend picker. Co-hosts for plans • You can invite friends as co-hosts when creating or managing a plan. Co-hosts can edit the plan, approve join requests, and help manage it. The original creator keeps full control (only they can delete or add/remove co-hosts). App version check • The mobile app checks if it meets the minimum required version on startup. If not, it shows an "Update Required" screen pointing users to the app store. You control this by setting a minimum version on your server. Security fixes • Things like making sure co-host actions are properly authorized, and ensuring private data (like your specific visibility list) isn't leaked to other users.
