Hello lovelies!
We’ve emerged from an ocean of code, caffeine, and far too many “just one last fix” moments with an update that touches nearly every corner of your PenPal experience. This one’s a big, thoughtful, quietly powerful release: the kind that doesn’t just add features, but reshapes how things feel.
Because it mostly covers "upgrades" to stuff we released just last week, copy-pasting some stuff from the last release note -> Let's find out whats new!
- PenPals Feed Overhaul→ SEARCH & FILTER: We have made significant changes to the engine which powers our PenPals feed! You know how you could “filter” your PenPals feed? Now you can filter AND SEARCH as well! You can search for interests, places/locations/cities and many more! With this update, we have implemented just a portion of our new search capacities. The reason we say “a portion” is because this is the groundwork for a more powerful search feature coming soon! Next stop: semantic search! What that will bring is for you to be able to look up any lettre available on the PenPal feed by just describing it! This is just step one
**PS:** Search & Filter is a special little "superpower" made exclusively for members of the Pippin Supporters Club. The PenPal feed: the familiar stack of envelopes you already know and love remains the same and fully available to everyone. Nothing is being taken away from the core experience if you’re not a member. Because membership is totally optional (and because we don’t run ads or sell your data), we believe the people who DO choose to support us always deserve something extra and this is one of the many. We built it with a lot of love, and we genuinely hope you enjoy using it. Thank you, truly. Every member of the Pippin Supporters Club is the reason all of this is possible, and you make all our hard work feel worth it.
Additionally, PenPal profiles also received a big round of polish! On iPhones, they now appear as a clean, semi-transparent half-sheet, and the entire layout has been tightened for clarity and elegance. The stamp strip is more compact and scrollable, and you can tap “View All” to explore someone’s full collection. A new segmented control lets you switch effortlessly between viewing someone’s envelopes and their letters. We now show shared interests and shared languages right at the top as well!
- Address Book Enhancements: PenPal profiles can now be directly viewed from your address book! It is better than the last version because now, you can see who has a profile and who doesn’t; making this a better overall experience (At least since our last update). Go ahead, check out some PenPal profiles of the people you may have added to your address book and while you’re at it, don’t be a stalker: be nice and reply to lettres they posted
- Fresh stamp pack!: Our latest artist collaboration has now taken our featured spot at the Post Office! Check out BunBisquit and their absolutely adorable set of stamps! Show some love, tell your friendss!
- The usual suspects: Old bugs, new bugs; consider them squashed! All of these fixes and tweaks will make pretty much everything in the app run smoother and better with more efficiency. It means fewer bugs, crashes and hopefully more time for you to enjoy being a part of this cozy corner of the internet! Shoutout to each and every one of you who reported these bugs and errors, we couldn’t have done this without your feedback and help. It’s all thanks to you that we get to improve the experience for everyone else!
That’s all for today! More exciting stuff dropping soon. Thank you for being a part of the coziest corner of the internet. We love having you with us on our journey.
Stay hydrated, stay wholesome,
We love you!
