decibel FM: music fans only

Some tweaks to make sure that your app never goes offline :)

UI changes and bug fixes! Dw... the app will still receive updates periodically :/

We heard your feedback that there might be too many notifications and we are doing something about it!

- We broke out follow and song rec request... sorry for the spam
- The "ask for a song rec" button is now back onto the profile page
- Daily limit lowered to 3... sorry again for those who are affected

Quick fix in this one!
- It's now set to default to NOT send the decibel to any of your followers. You have to manually select who you want to send the decibel to
- After you send the decibel, that outbound chat box is now hidden and you can easily find all your ongoing chats

We may or may not add more genres in the next one :)

HOT FIX :/ Apple Music search is now back to normal!

---------------------------------------------------

- We took out matching. Instead, you can now directly send your creations to all followers
- We'll hide the chat boxes that say "waiting to hear back"
- Simplified onboarding flow
- Some bug fixes..

We reworked the nav bar and the app is easier to use now! You can especially get to the swiping part faster :P

Start sending songs to each other in DM :) Now you can answer all your song rec requests by directly sending a song!

Head to your inbox tab and tap "meet new friends" :)

People's feed is back. Meet other fans from around the world:)

Just imagining a new decibel...

- UI/UX improvements all around

- Added a button clear all your notificaitons

- Other minor bug fixes

- We are now giving daily prompts a more prominent place so you won't miss anything
- Plus ofc the usual UI/UX and performance improvements

- The DM button now looks a bit different, but it works the same
- Minor tweaks here and there to make the app better!
- More to come on song rec request, daily prompt, and matching :)

Added the "liked decibel" section back, cleaned up a few things, fixed some bugs, and made the app easier for new users!

We cleaned up the DM UX flow, the matching UX flow, and made everything just a little bit sexier :p

More to come!

Time to DM and meet new friends!
- Vibe with someone on the home feed? Slide into their DM!
- Send a song as an icebreaker and attach a message...
- Each song rec will now be a chat invite. If the recipient likes the post, chat!

This is a new chapter for decibel... We significantly restructured the app and took out a lot of old features. Give us your feedback as we navigate this new journey!!!

This one is mainly bug fixes and minor UI/UX improvements...


BUT, we moved "search" to the home screen now and we added the ability to search decibels, groups, and users!! So now you can see all the decibels for Tyler, Frank Ocean, Mitski, Joji, or whoever you love and find others who have made a decibel for the same song :)

GLHF! back for more next week

Let's. Start. Chatting!

We've been really thinking about what a group playlist should look like. Is it a group? Is it a playlist? Is it a bulletin board? We think we found it. The second tab is now the "group" tab. Create and share your decibels to groups, and directly chat with others there. Pictures and music can sometimes be a million words, but words are often the easiest way to connect with each other :)


Other improvements include UI changes to viewing other people's profiles/decibels, comment UX changes, profile customization UX changes, notification changes, and added account deletion flow.

Please give us feedback and we will actively update this version to make sure the new tab is working for everyone!! Ultimately, we want decibel to feel like a 24/7 music festival where we can celebrate our favorite music, share with others, show up in style, meet some new friends, and have a good freaking time :P

Ummm so what has changed this time... well, it looks a bit different :p

- We changed the nav bar to a more traditional layout, so the screens won't look as cluttered as before!
- We added the option to send a surprise song rec to one of your followers. You can make someone's day better hehe
- We took out the background playback thing... not a fan
- Added "copy button" for text and sticker!
- Added color picker for text and drawing!
- From now on, we will autofill the genres if you are using apple music as a music source. You will still have the option to change them before posting

Saving the bigger change for next week. BRB.

Fixed a few bugs! Here's the OG release note:

This one took a bit of time but I promise it's worth it!
- A whole new creation flow. We REALLY tried to simplify it while giving it more functionalities. Tap anywhere on the canvas to type and swipe up to bring up the canvas background options. The final step has also been redesigned, so you can directly add to a playlist when making a new decibel
- The home feed algo has been tweaked :p
- The comment section is completely redesigned. Music will now keep playing, it stays on the same page, and looks 10x better
- More improvements to the onboarding flow
- More UX improvements to the notification tab
- We added background playback in this update. IF you don't like it, let us know and we will take it out!!!

More to come. We are getting closer to what we really want to build :)
