So like a custom ā€˜internal CASSā€™ without closing the single account? :slight_smile:

I think thatā€™s a wicked idea! :smiley: One that would save a lot of time doing it manually :yum: (well, it depends on how many DDā€™s youā€™ve got setup I suppose :joy:)

Itā€™s not just the time - itā€™s the risk. I realise it may not come under the CASS guarantee, but at least automating it would make it easier and hopefully less likely to go wrong. I did once ask @simonb how to do it and he said it wasnā€™t currently possible, so hopefully itā€™s on a list somewhere!

Certainly looks like it. Fixing minor issues / bug from yesterdayā€™s I imagine.

Minor version update so nothing big.

Our in-house coral detective will confirm in due course :wink: :male_detective: :monzo: @nexusmaniac

Yep :grin: 2.29.1 is here :yum:
I wasnā€™t on the lookout for it today :joy:

@Peter_G is correct :sunglasses: minor bug fixed! Looks like the upcoming integration was a bit wonky so the Android team have patched it up :ok_hand:

Thereā€™s nothing better than a sneak peak at something new :eyes::hot_coral_heart:

So hereā€™s an early look at the new Pot Detail design :heart_eyes:

The Investec Savings Pot is even more amazing :eyes:

Shows:

  • The interest rate
  • What Iā€™ve already earned in January so far :grin:
  • My total gains :money_mouth_face:
  • My scheduled payment into the pot!!
  • Deposits, withdrawls & round-ups so farā€¦
  • And the docs for the savings pot :hot_coral_heart:

But hereā€™s a look at a Coin Jar! :smiley:

How are you getting to this view? Iā€™ve downloaded 2.30.0 and canā€™t seem to find it

Aha, itā€™s not something you can access from the UI :slight_smile: you need to use a ā€œdeep linkā€ with a Pot ID obtained from the Monzo API :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Itā€™s not easily accessible for the masses yet :see_no_evil:

The good news is that Monzo have this new UI hidden behind a feature flag :smiley: So it could appear for anybody at any time (assuming thereā€™s no show stopping bugs) :smiley:

Advanced Section

The format, if anybody is interested :wink: is:

monzo://pot_detail/{pot_id}

(where {pot_id} is obtained from Monzoā€™s API)

812

He will be triggering the custom flags either from the API itself or a custom launcher.

I noticed a mini bug. The refreshing animation circle appears and wonā€™t go away on the payments tab.

This is what is shown on the interest pot screen.
The breakdown of interest per month and the total is definitely a welcome change.

Iā€™ve even been to the gym today :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Glad the beta arrived this morning :yum:

And saving the least exciting new stuff for last :wink: (well, itā€™s still exciting! Just not ā€œPot Detailā€ exciting :smirk:)

Some new graphics :smiley::eyes:

Our investor card image :smiley:
card_monzo_investor_clear

And its frozen counterpart :thinking: (Iā€™m really not sure why a regular frozen card wasnā€™t enough :joy: but points for attention to detail :wink: (Iā€™m wonder if Monzo could use a ā€œfrozen_card_overlay.pngā€ instead? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: It might save on future maintenance)

card_monzo_investor_frozen

And then we have a boring change followed by an interesting one :smiley:

ic_default_pot ic_regular_pot

Simple name change and a bit of a shrink (went from ic_default_pot.png to ic_regular_pot.png - I would hazard a guess that this is due to the incoming Pots expansion!) (Left: old, Right: new)

When Pots started, they were simple. Monzo is now growing Pots at significant speed! :smiley: Now thereā€™s more than 1 type (with more in the works :eyes:) default no longer fits the bill :stuck_out_tongue:

Super Secret Pot Info

Itā€™s not so secret really :innocent:
Donā€™t forget that thereā€™s, currently, 4 types of Pot! Theyā€™re just not available to the public yet :stuck_out_tongue:

    <string name="pot_class_title">Select Pot type</string>
    <string name="pot_class_title_investments">Investment Pot</string>
    <string name="pot_class_title_regular">Regular Pot</string>
    <string name="pot_class_title_savings">Savings Pot</string>
    <string name="pot_committed_spending_name">Committed Spending</string>

And finally, recurring payments :smiley: This is an icon which youā€™ll see (:soon::tm:) in your Pot Detail screen :hot_coral_heart:

ic_recurring_payments

I suppose it wouldnā€™t be fair to keep it to myself :joy: Hereā€™s what it looks like in action! :smiley:

image

Iā€™m not entirely sure why Monzo didnā€™t just re-use the icon from ā€œScheduled Paymentsā€ ic_action_manage_direct_debits.png

ic_action_manage_direct_debits

Perhaps somebody from the Android Dev team can shed some light on those couple of Qā€™s :innocent:(@ataulm, @edwoollard) :grin:
