            #161 - T Minus Two Weeks

                Reflections on there being two weeks left to do "everything", another user sign-up milestone, mini feature updates, and my 1000+ page current read. 😅

T Minus Two Weeks...

...and they better be the most productive two weeks of the year. 😅

Wish me luck!  🍀

Since last time...

First, we reached our next user sign-up milestone! 🙌🏾

Over two-million people have created an account. 🤩

Now, let's review the product changes since the last issue based on the three focal points I mentioned:

1. Book Clubs

I have made progress, but not as much as I wanted to by this time. I decided to focus on some other "smaller" features to clear the path for this being the Week of Book Clubs!

Admins can create book clubs now though. Lucky us. 😆

2. Barcode Scanner

One of the reasons for slow progress on Book Clubs is that I got stuck on the Barcode Scanner. Mainly, Android phones are not playing ball at all! And there are also some minor niggles on iOS, but I do have a working scanner on my phone, tested in a bookstore and all. 😌

3. Giveaways: In-app digital and audio prize delivery

This is now live! 🎉

I'm really looking forward to feedback from both the hosts and winners, which will start as early as tomorrow!

We also launched the beta of our AI-powered Preview feature to everyone and the response has been brilliant overall! 😍

Next two weeks

Well, finishing EVERYTHING of course. 😅

I look forward to updating y'all on January 1st!

What I'm reading

I'm rereading Saga #1-54 via the first compendium. I mean, I did need to in order to pick up the newer volumes but maybe me being a couple thousand pages behind on my Pages Goal had something to do with the timing here. 👀

Have a great rest of the year and see you in 2024,

Nadia
