A month ago we announced the release of our new app, which you can find here or by searching SB Nation in your neighborhood app store. Quite a few of you have downloaded it over the past month and have been using it.
The goal with this app was to make it easier to join the community, and specifically comment, read the comments, and make your own posts, as well as keeping all the community posts, articles on the front page, and feed posts from you front and center.
The early results are encouraging
across the board at SB Nation, and it’s been fun to see the game chat develop over the start of the season, and hopefully continue to develop (with some more encouraging performances to go with it). It makes it easier to follow along with the barrage of comments that come during games and gets to the heart of why so many of you spend time in our community. Faster loading comments and notifications when someone replies to your comments and Feed posts are creating a more fun experience that you’re not going to find anywhere else.
We also wanted to elevate the community’s contributions by putting your Feed posts inside one stream alongside all the other articles from the site. To that end, more people can see your posts and comment on them.
And if you prefer just reading our traditional front page articles, there’s an option at the top to do that with a more streamlined comment section.
So, one month in, thanks for making us part of your routine. If you haven’t checked it out, you can get it for iOs or Android. And if you’re not an app user, that’s OK. We’re glad to have you following along in whatever way makes you most comfortable.
We hope the Reds can hold up their end of the bargain and get the good times rolling again, but in the meantime I’m excited to try and grow the community on a new platform.
Thank you,
Colin
