Hey Patreonicals,
As mentioned in the last post, we made some new stickers (and we ran out of the last batch). Here they are! They are round 3 inchers.
And now we're going to send some to each of you! Except, we can only send them to supporters who have given us their address. So, please check that:
1) We have your address (if you want stickers)
2) The address we have is current
We will send them out in the next few days.
In other news:
This week we will likely release an update to the Pinball Map app. v5.2.7. The update contains a lot of under the hood changes (exciting stuff like how we handle environmental variables, changing the app entry point, changing the app root ETC lol - just a reminder that all of the development is public on github).
But it will also contain some changes that you can SEE. Notably, a design refresh that includes a totally new "light mode" color scheme; updated dark mode color scheme; and custom fonts to replace the default system fonts. Additionally, we added a few icons here and there and made lots and lots of small design tweaks.
Check this tweet for some hastily stitched together before-and-after pics of three screens. https://twitter.com/pinballmapcom/status/1439296703039893504
The overall "story" of the color refresh is that we ditched the "orange" tones (those did not age well since we implemented them in June) in place of "purple" tones. We like it! And we hope you do, too.
Here is the v5.2.7 changelog as of right now:
Fixed issue with deep links not always working correctly (actually in 5.2.6 but we forgot to mention)
Updated theme colors, as well as redesigned some elements, especially on the Location Details screen
Replaced system fonts with custom fonts
Android: Fixed bug with heart map marker icons not always displaying correctly
Fixed issue with search not geocoding correctly
Fixed issue with search keyboard being dismissed at wrong times
Code enhancements and performance improvements
Once the big "change the root of the app" update is merged in we will do a good amount of testing and then RELEASE!
Thanks! - Team Pinball Map
