Bring back sneak peaks

Can we revive this section of the community please :pray:

Twice a month, and sometimes more, there were regular sneak peeks and updates on what was being considered or worked on. You could even subscribe in app to receive them.

I was going to give a reason, but it’s summarised in the blog post why this is valuable for everyone

As I understand this transitioned into Making Monzo, but I feel it’s not quite the same :pensive: This only shares things that have been completed already rather than going on the journey from it’s initial concept.

It goes over so many things, including some early designs back in 2017 for cashback!

I think we’re way past those times, we can’t be more than 0.000001% of Monzo customers now.

I too long for the days of active involvement but also see that really, the way that Chase and HSBC engage with new feature development is probably the way Monzo also now need to.

I suspect it’s just much easier for them not to talk about upcoming features.

I mean look at the Connected Accounts thread, the moment someone from Monzo made the mistake of saying a certain card provider was being worked on, that poor staff member was hounded.

There are other examples too, I’m sure.

It would be nice to see though.

Sadly, I’m with the negative comments above. The ‘experiments’ push trigger in the app ended ages ago, and recently, the ‘feature flags’ also seem to have been abandoned.

With such a structural change, it seems the :monzo: app has now matured beyond experimentation. And by default, exposure.
