<aside> 🙏🏽 Here you can get the latest news about the development of the WeChangers Challenges platform**.** Your feedback is highly appreciated. Get in touch with us if you have suggestions on we can make our community even better!
</aside>
Always send users to the vanity URL Apply.changemakers.com (custom SM apply domain).
Multi-language support.
We are ready to support challenges in other languages. For now users are not able to switch the website language, only admins are able to select the challenge language.
We are now hosting all the basic assets and configs of a challenge on our own admin tool. Now we have the flexibility to change logo, favicon, footer links, language and timezone for each challenge.
Support different timezones per challenge.
We are now able to set up a different timezone per challenge. The SM apply account timezone is unique, but the website will display the timezone as configured on our admin tool.
P.S. This feature also fixes the issue we had with the timezone differences from SM Apply and the T-Mobile challenge page.
Performance: caching logic for images
We implemented this important infrastructure improvement, so the user experience is smooth when browsing through the challenge applications.
Peer reviewers are now able to access their pending reviews on the platform. O "My reviews" section was added to the menu (only for users with reviewer role on SM Apply ), with a badge with the total number of pending reviews.
We implemented a series of improvements in the logic of retrieving and caching assets from SM Apply. The loading time of the page and the list of applications is at least 5x faster than the previous version.
We also implemented kubernetes to improve the deployment, scaling, and management of the platform.
Application details, reviews and comments are using the full length of the pop-pop.
We deployed an admin backend solution that will host all the configuration related our challenges. This will allow us to scale the number of challenges, clients and integrations with SM Apply.
"See my feedback" button always present once the review phase is over.
The aggregated view of public reviews will be only displayed when the application has at least 3 completed public reviews, but the user must be able to access the review details when one is available.
Reviews were available at any given time, when available. Now, all applicants will get the feedback at the same time.
By adding (Public) on a review stage name, the application will automatically know that those review scores must be aggregated and displayed on the application page ("Public is not displayed in the challenge page).
The platform is ready to automatically add applicants to a challenge's Private Community. The draft challenge page for HSBC is already up and running with its own community.
Application cards can be filtered by Focus area.
Applications Opening soon status.
Before the application phase opens, a new status will be displayed in the challenges homepage.
