Who are you?
Fixed a couple of problems I found by perusing the logs:
- I noticed that first time users were having trouble with the leading period before join (e.g., sending "join group" instead of ".join group"). I made the system a bit more forgiving: if you're not already in a group and the first word you send in is join, I'll spot you the period.
- It used to be that we would set your name to the last four digits of your phone number, then let you change it to something personal at your leisure. With the change I made last night, however, a new user is announced to the group immediately upon joining...before s/he has a chance to set his or her name. It looks weird, and nobody knows who's joining. So I added a delay: first you are asked to set your name, then you're added to the group and announced.
Also fixed a bug where additions to private groups weren't being announced.
Now this is good UX. Excellent work sir.
