Hey Everyone,
In today’s update, I share some exciting news on the new platform, including our revamped leaderboard (formerly known as ambassadorship) and a sneak peek at the full dark mode feature, a change MANY of you have been asking for.


Beer of the Week - Guinness 0%

Before getting into these updates, I introduced this week’s beer, a Guinness Zero Percent. I enjoy it as a way to enjoy the Guinness taste without the alcohol, and it pairs perfectly with today's focus on "dark mode" and premium updates.


Revamped Leaderboard & Ambassadorship Platform

Our team has been working hard on upgrading the leaderboard, which now plays a critical role in our ambassadorship program. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Enhanced Incentives: In addition to your rank, this new system introduces a monetary element with a dividend purse that rewards community activity. As you engage in creating content. Whether that is videos, courses, blog posts, or opinion articles, you’ll earn points and revenue.
  • Live Tracking: The platform now features real-time updates on your earnings and points. Your rank is dynamic, updating month over month based on your consistent activity. This means your status isn’t permanent...you must keep working to stay on top.
  • Fair & Transparent: We are committed to giving everyone a fair chance, so we have detailed explanations on how the rankings work. We’ve designed this update with input from past experience and the help of advanced AI to avoid any possible gaming of the system.

Introducing Full Dark Mode

Another highly requested feature is our full dark mode, and I’m excited to give you a preview:

  • A Different Look for a Different Workflow: Dark mode provides an alternate visual layout that many find easier on the eyes, especially if you work at night or prefer a darker screen. While I personally lean towards the standard mode, many of you have expressed a preference for dark mode.
  • Toggle & Flexibility: If you are part of the Premium Plus membership, you already see a dark header and side menu. The full dark mode option in the new platform will offer a complete dark environment. This update will include new icons and subtle tweaks to ensure everything looks polished.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the new leaderboard and dark mode. Do you find the new incentive structure engaging? Will the full dark mode make your experience better? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
