What's new

When you register for an event, you can now say what you're working on and who you'd like to meet. It's optional and takes a few seconds.

When you're checked in, your ticket and check-in email suggest up to three people who are in the room right now, with a line on why you two should talk and a "Say hi" button. Only people who answered the question are suggested, and you can turn introductions off at any time.

Hosts can see how many introductions were suggested for each event.

Also fixed: event feedback links now load straight away on slow connections, and a rating only counts when you tap Save. And the Members, Hosts and Fixes filters on this page now work.

Hosts can now share one feedback link for an event in their group chat. Anyone who came can rate it and leave a comment without signing in. Find the link under Manage → Events → Feedback.

An event can now add everyone who registers to a second hub too. The Onboard3 campus talks use this so students also join their own school's hub.

Fixed: the Manage page could fail to open on iPhone Safari in a Private tab. If a page ever does fail on an event, the error screen now has a direct link to door check-in.

Door check-in is faster and more reliable. Each check-in and walk-in is sent the moment you tap, and the confirmation email goes out right away. If your connection drops, a bar at the top shows what's waiting and sends it as soon as you're back online. The total at the top is the same on every phone, so two or more people can work the door together.

You can now register for an event while it's happening. The event page shows "Happening now" and a "Register — I'm here" button; once you're in, your ticket opens full screen so the host can scan you at the door.

If you were checked in at the door without an account, your check-in email now leads with "Claim your profile". Sign up with that email and the event is already on your profile.

Also fixed: the Events list in Manage was squeezed on some laptop screens, with the buttons covering the text. It lays out properly again.

stx.channel now works on older Android phones and browsers going back to about 2020. Signing in, registering for an event, hub pages and door check-in were all tested on a small screen with an older browser.

If a page ever fails to load, you'll see a short message with a link to sign in by email instead of a blank screen.

And when you send feedback, it now includes what went wrong on your phone (with personal details removed), so we can fix it faster.

Links to stx.channel now show a proper preview card on X, WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, LinkedIn, Slack and Discord: the page title, a short description and an image. Hub links show the hub's name, logo and member count; event links show the date and place.
