We wanted to share what we're working on as a team so that the road ahead is visible to all. There's still a lot of work to be done, and then a lot more to come (Team Birthday Notifications and the Drag n Drop Fav Squad - we see you!).

Usually updates are rolled out more incrementally on networks like ours, so the differences are less glaring. Unfortunately the old version of DA did not get this steady diet of modifications over the years, so this redesign feels a little more jarring as we give the site it's first rejuvenation in many years. We've written personal and public statements saying we're listening to concerns but honestly they mainly fall on deaf ears. I get why too - take an instance where people ask for a change or a feature and we totally agree and
