We're excited to announce a major update to the Hostshare platform, featuring a series of new features, changes, and important bug fixes aimed at improving user experience and system functionality. These updates cover everything from subscription management to mobile usability.
New Features:
Enhanced Subscription System:
Introduction of a more robust subscription and free nights transaction system, preparing for upcoming renewals and enhancing night transaction processes.Improved Admin Support Features:
We've made several improvements to our admin support capabilities to better assist the Hostshare community:- Admin Usability on Mobile:Admin panels are now fully usable on mobile devices, ensuring our support team can manage operations seamlessly from anywhere. This update is also integrated into our Progressive Web App (PWA).
- Admin UI Enhancements:We've refined the admin interface with new tools, allowing for a true user view without layout adjustments. Additionally, key admin features such as the display of Nights Shared and a more accessible Bookings tab have been enhanced to streamline operations.
Changes:
- Shifted to real-time calculations for shared nights and users’ remaining nights, moving away from a cached version to increase accuracy.
- Added a loading indicator when users click “view map” from the travel landing page to improve the perceived loading time on mobile.
- Transitioned from Superhog to Truvi branding across the app in line with their rebranding.
- Redirecting users to the travel landing page after going live, enhancing user flow and consistency.
- Improved the Saved Listings page with a loader to address user complaints about the listings not loading.
- Enhanced the My Trips page to accurately display photos and summaries for confirmed bookings.
Bug Fixes:
- Resolved issues where non-live-listing users were not seeing booking bubbles with CTAs.
- Implemented controls to prevent bookings on both API and front-end sides if a listing is not approved and live.
- Addressed discrepancies where live users with listings in review and no subscription were incorrectly shown as on trial.
- Fixed map filter access issues for certain users and resolved the problem of "Deleted" listings appearing as "coming soon" on the map.
- Corrected errors preventing the map from loading correctly and issues with listings showing incorrect availability.
- Fixed repetitive display of trips in both "scheduled" and "where you've been" sections, which now requires only one page refresh to display correctly.
- Solved a critical bug where subscription conversion events were not registering correctly for analytics purposes.
