Another minor update pushed out last night. Should be live on Android and iOS. Adds an onboarding screen when you first open the app. This will help orient new users to the app. Old users will have to quickly tao through the onboarding after they update, but who know maybe it will he helpful :-)

Adding user names! Apologies if you just went through the new onboarding screens, you will need to one more time to set your username ;-)

User names at this time just show up under the pack description on public packs in the “Find Packs” section. This is just the beginning, lots more to come :-)

Currently live on Android, Apple should be live sometime today!

Pushed out another update a couple days ago. Now when browsing other users public packs you can see their username in the bottom right. When you tap their username you will go to their user profile and can view all their public packs in one place.

Hey everyone, havent posted an update in a little bit. Took a detour to build a Travel Game app for a competition.

Now that I am back starting to add more features to Don’t Forget The Spoon! I released an update today for both iOS and Android that adds “Gear Notes” to your gear items. Now you have a free form field you can type what ever you want in. Its free form so you can add new lines as well.

Gear Notes in itself is not a huge new feature but it has been one of the most highly requested feature. While adding Gear Notes, I additionally re-wrote the entire code backend for my gear form. This wont mean a whole lot to you all the users right now, but it will allow me to add new things faster in the future for gear attributes. This will also allow me to make this a bit customizable as well. For example, a lot of users have asked for a item price field. I can add that as an option in the future, that you can toggle on and off from the settings. Basically this will allow the field to be there for users who want it and not clog up the form for those who do not want the field.

Added a small visual feedback to swipe to pack and un-pack items. Before you would swipe and nothing would move and then it would magically say “Packed” or the “Packed” text would magically disapear when you swiped the opposite direction.

Now when yo swipe you will see “Pack” or “Unpack” depending which direction you swipe. Then tap to confirm. This gives visual feedback to the user and prevents accidentally packing or un-packign items.
