Catch up
Everything that changed since you last looked
Catch up is the first screen a resident sees. What needs you sits at the top; below it, the week ahead and what your neighbours are doing.
- Open votes, nominations and your open issues, as notes at the top
- The next two events, then a link to the full calendar
- One feed of posts, ideas, fixes, documents and events
- A new member's first three things to do
- Notifications in the app, by email and in the browser
