Testing our new Maker Matching platform

you should now be able to see your progress photos on your dashboard

Another thought. Could you add the date when the request was opened up to either the map or the maker dashboard where we accept jobs so if we have a few close to us we can try to help the ones waiting longer first? I know you can kind of tell by the request number but that still doesn’t tell me if they are a day apart or a month apart. A day apart I might chose the one closer to me, a month apart I would be more apt to take the one that has been waiting longer.

Ive added the date of initial request to the map card. Note there are some that are quite old because many of these requests are backlogged from when we opened for request last year.

keep the ideas coming!!!

Awesome! Thank you!

The 20 character limit to post sucks :rofl:

The date was visible after you posted this but it is not visible now.

I noticed this as well

Is there a way to update the reminder email frequency? I got a reminder to upload photos of the completed build after 10 days but it’s definitely going to take me longer than that :sweat_smile:

I was surprised that when I claimed a build request that I had to “initial” the color choice. When a request is entered the only color choice now is blue or purple. I understand those choices are because of the future kits. Since the kits do not exist yet I can only claim other colors(older requests). This is limiting for both the requester and the maker. Please remove the “initial” of the colors and give the requester more color choice.

hey thanks for this. i dont think its a big deal to initial the color choice, and just follow any color comments on the older requests. thanks

It’s all somewhat confusing - is the new site going to transfer maker approval etc. or is it only for matching?

One seeming bug - there are two requests I see within 120 miles or so. If I click in to each / view story, they both say ready to claim but also have ‘build in progrress’ next to that. So it it claimed or unclaimed?

Oh, and you really should be able to claim from the ‘view story’ page, not just on the map IMO.

I second this. Was very suprised when I got that email.

Adding to the above. If View Story cant be made into a modal, at least open it up in a new tab. The map seems to not be super-performant or responsive, so bouncing back and forth and having the map not save/restore the zoom level and location - burns some time.

if you have been previously approved as maker, upload that email as one of your qualification photos and we will approve you.

Im looking into the bug and claiming a request from the story page - thanks

the ‘build in progress’ on the story is jsut a placeholder for photos. it is not related to the acutal

build progress. I will fix this

I have a build in progress and have uploaded a few photos but none of those are showing up. Is this meant for those or for finally pictures?

Also is it possible to have the map not pop up the panel for anything you move the mouse over. Its hard sometimes when they are close together. Maybe instead a single click on a chair or maker could pop that box up?

they are showing up - do you not see them?

Yes I see them there. I thought you were saying those would show up on the map as well. I think I misunderstood.

this area is designed for photos from the family to be shared here. On the admin side, I can share your photos to this page. How do you think it should work?
