gFam

Hi everyone!

On the gFam platform we've been rocking along on our development path slowly but surely... there is so much functionality we want to add, but obviously it's always going to be tricky finding time for development outside of regular jobs, wildfires, pandemics, really good couch-time, etc.

We do have some exciting new functionality to share with you though...

First up, you can now reply directly to comments:

To be perfectly honest, we did not expect this to be the most requested feature out of everything. We didn't think it was a big deal, users could create a comment and just say the name of the person they were replying to, but people didn't like that at all.

We even had a user stop using the platform after a single post because of the lack of a direct reply function... so we put it at the very top of our To Do List...

A reply to a comment will now appear directly underneath...

Unfortunately a reply to a reply isn't going to work at this point, we'll have to completely recreate our database to allow for that... but we're confident we can look into that at some point in the future.

The next feature is way more exciting (to us at least)....

You will earn micropayments when Coil subscribers spend time on your posts.

If you haven't linked your Coil account up to your gFam account, you're missing out!

Log into gFam and select the Profile menu item...

Click on the Connect Account to Coil button and then go through all the authorization funness...

Afterwards you'll see your Payment Pointer filled in and the button changed to Coil Connected.

If you want to confirm it's all set up correctly, go to your Coil settings and get your payment pointer from the Payouts section.

Once you're all hooked up, you don't even have to log in with your Email and Password anymore, you can just click on the Sign in with Coil button, just like you can log in with your Xumm credentials.

Great for those peeps who forget their password...
