You might have heard about Boosted’s latest message to the community about letting staff go & will be under new ownership.
I wanted to get in early and let everyone know that Ride isn’t going anywhere, & Ride for Droid is still going ahead.
More info: reddit.com/r/RideApp/comment…
Collectively, Ride for Android users have already stacked up a total 268km (166miles) using the app :) the beta only opened up a few days ago so this is really cool.
Was just checking out a review (by @DKwan) of the Flexway Wave (👀) and Ride was in it 😍
The board looks pretty sick tbh. I’ve barely touched my longboards since getting the Mini X so probs best for me to stick with shorter boards like the Wave youtu.be/trpVdBysU4E
Happy to announce the Ride for Android beta is now open to anyone who wants to try it! You can join the beta here: play.google.com/apps/testing…
You can leave the beta at any time by visiting the same link. In a few days, after keeping an eye on crashes etc, I'll release v1 fully.
Tip: you can make the persistent Ride notification (required for reconnecting) less annoying by tweaking the settings so the notification gets added to the silent section and collapsed by default :)
I’ve decided that although Ride for Android doesn’t look very Ride branded, I’m going to open it up to an open beta very soon and release v1 shortly after.
Two reasons for this:
- people deserve a working app for their Boosted products, more than a perfectly designed app
- by opening it up and releasing it asap, I’m going to get more usage feedback from more people, which will help make the app better
So my plan is to set up my iPad (which tbh I don’t really use that much) so that all the channels of conversation I have with you awesome people (Twitter, Reddit, Discord) are the only notifications my iPad shows me, rather than randomly with other notifications on my phone(s)
Turns out you can control the brightness of the Rev’s light 👀👀👀 also didn’t realise that Beams use the same Bluetooth characteristics as the Rev’s lights which means Ride for Android already supports Beams if I’m not mistaken :)
Oh wow you’ll want to turn the volume down otherwise you’ll be blasted with the sound of our vacuum when you play the video lol sorry about that
