Improvements:

  • Made a number of behind-the-scenes efficiency improvements to help speed things up — including database optimisations and improvements to our backup infrastructure.
  • Improved the sign-up and upgrade experience so VIP benefits are clearer when deciding whether to become a VIP member.
  • Improved how we handle activity data from Garmin and Strava when some fields are missing, making imports more reliable

Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where the “You could save $X on this order” shop banner was sometimes showing to existing VIP members (oops).
  • Fixed an issue where “About VIP” buttons could occasionally appear even if you were already a VIP (also oops).
  • Improved Trail Legends alert emails so they aren’t triggered just because someone becomes a VIP (for example if they already held or lost an FKT).
