Kinside Scoop 👀 #7

Time-traveling Journal entries, more feedback, and some introspection

Hey folks 👋

Time for the latest from Kin, as usual.

We’ve been working hard on big fixes and new features for Kin, and have more to share with you today.

And, like always, read to the end to find this week’s super prompt.

What’s new with Kin 🚀

Our dev team has been busy with the immense Voice Chat feedback from both iOS and Android users, and squashing bugs wherever they find them.

Still, they’ve found the time for something new…

Bring old Journal entries into the future 🕖🔥

As requested, you can now control the date Kin records as the creation of a Journal entry.

This means that if you want to import journal entries from notebooks or other apps, you’ll be able to give Kin a full understanding of your personal timeline much easier.

Your Journal, your way 🤔📓

We’re still very much interested in hearing about what you’re all doing with our Journal feature, and what you’d like to see from it.

Got something to tell us? Suggest an improvement using the ‘suggest improvement’ button from the support section of the main menu.

If you’d like more of a conversation about the feature, you can drop a suggestion in the '#ideas’ channel of our Discord instead.

You can even reach out to one of our team members, Clara, on Discord, and have a one-on-one conversation with her on what you like and what you’d like to see!
