Chats & crew Staff introduction messages — Hosts and skippers can write an introduction on their Day8 profile; it can be posted automatically to your yacht booking group chat before the event (timing set per event by organizers). Intro onboarding — First-run prompts on the feed and profile nudges when you’re upcoming host/skipper without an intro, with role-based default copy you can adopt or edit. Intro templates — Insert placeholders like {{role}}, {{event_name}}, and {{destination}} that are filled in when the message is sent. Booking chat fixes — More reliable auto chats for custom, package, and cabin bookings; cabin-to-yacht crew sync; clearer booking chat types and renaming when assignments change. Crew visibility timing — Guest and staff “days before event” windows and skipper/host reveal use UTC calendar days so visibility matches the real event schedule.

Photo markup — Improved native drawing support on more devices (Skia-backed markup where available). Smarter @mentions — Tap mentions to open profiles; handles that aren’t on the roster can open Instagram, TikTok, or X when you choose. Feed polish — Clearer feed header layout and more consistent relative timestamps on posts. Profiles, access & events Clearer login states — Dedicated screens when you have no account, no booking yet, or staff access isn’t open yet (~two weeks before the event), with Try again, support, and sign-out paths. Event week labels — Week labels on events where configured, for easier scanning in the app. Profile intro — View, edit, and delete your introduction message from profile with last-updated date and required-intro guidance for host/skipper roles. Feedback detail — Feedback form titles shown on the detail screen. Reliability & polish Timezone & reveal — UTC-based handling for crew/chat auto-reveal windows. Edit profile — Fixes around introduction message dates and profile editing edge cases. Build stability — Metro and markup build fixes for smoother releases. For organizers (configured in admin, felt in the app) Staff introduction settings — Per-event days-before send, fallback modes, and read-only intro previews in admin. Automatic host/skipper intros — System posts introductions from Day8 profiles (no Quarterdeck copy) into per-booking chats on schedule. Booking chat automation — Lifecycle timeline, guest/staff day validation, and fixes for cabin, package, and custom bookings. Event Feed scheduling — Schedule and review timed feed posts; company and event template packs for posts and media. Platform settings — Central platform configuration surfaced in admin. Booking sync — More reliable booking–member link queue and gateway booking purge on sync. Admin UX — Event week labels, soft-delete events with confirmation, booking counts on event bookings, “Event Feed” naming (was Newsfeed).

Chats & crew Automatic booking group chats — For eligible yacht and cabin bookings, the app can create and keep a dedicated group chat for your crew as you get closer to the event (timing is set per event by organizers). Smarter crew visibility — Host, skipper, and event crew on the Crews tab can be shown or hidden based on event settings (e.g. only in the days before the event starts). Clearer crew list — Filter guests vs event crew, improved empty states, and pull to refresh even when no one is listed yet. Reply in chat — Reply to a specific message with previews for text, photos, videos, contacts, and locations. @mentions — Tag people from the event roster in chats, feed posts, and comments; tap a mention to open their profile. Unread chat improvements — More reliable unread badges and chat list updates when new messages arrive. Feed, media & comments In-app feedback — Answer organizer feedback forms from the feed, with history and detail screens. Photo markup — Draw on photos before you send them in chat or comments (where supported on your device). Richer media — Video thumbnails in grids, loading states for images and video, and save to gallery for photos and videos you’re allowed to access. Tap links everywhere — Phone numbers, emails, and URLs are tappable in feed, comments, itinerary, and messages. Profiles, reviews & events Member reviews — View ratings and reviews for crew and staff from their profile (when your event uses reviews). Starred events — Mark events you care about for quicker access. Profile updates — Fixes and improvements when editing your profile. Itinerary — Schedule items with tappable titles and descriptions; pull to refresh on each day’s list. Role names — Clearer labels (e.g. Event Crew, Photographer, Film Crew, Medic). Reliability & polish Notifications — Better handling of push and in-app notification flows. Timezone fixes — More accurate times for schedules and visibility windows. Performance — Smoother scrolling in crew lists, chat, and feed; improved touch handling across the app. Branding — App experience aligned with Yacht Week naming where shown in the product. For organizers (configured in admin, felt in the app) Per-event control of when booking chats open and when skipper/host appear in crew visibility. Automated sync of booking crew into the right group chats as rosters change.
