Improvements & New Features: Participants 👯
1. Cross-events Swipes
What is it? We are applying changes to the overall logic of swiping users, a Cross-Event Swipe is when Attendees can swipe on other Attendees that were recommended to them in a previous event and there was no connection formed. Cross-Event Swipes are only active when Attendees participate in future events with some of the same Attendees from previous events.
Why are we adding it? We have recently discovered that the current logic of registering swipes between users results in a faulty user experience for users that are part of multiple events. We want to implement updates that will make the cross-event experience coherent and easy to follow.
