Tightknit Release Notes (Oct 1, 2024)
🔰 Groups With Badges Now, your champions, experts, and advocates can have their own exclusive Badges! When creating or editing a Group, you now have the option to associate a Badge, and all members of that Group will automatically inherit that Badge. This Badge is tied to Group membership, so each time you add and remove users from the Group we handle giving and revoking the user's Badge, respectively.
👋 Leaderboard Deprecated Sometimes we have to say goodbye to a feature... for now. As we have transitioned our efforts into Badges and Milestones for Gamification, it's made us realize our leaderboard was lacking love, and we decided it doesn't currently meet our standards at Tightknit. We are deprecating the Leaderboard with plans to revisit, redesign, and revamp the product in the future.
