It’s been just over a month I’ve been keeping the Android changelog thread alive and well but I figured I’d revisit the thoughts that I’d posted here and maybe respond to your awesome reply @cookywook
I love the Android team and everything they do but changelogs are still lacking some classic Monzo awesomeness, if they matched the TestFlight levels of detail then I think it’d be perfect But sadly it’s not quite there yet
I’m gonna drop a poll below to see how people feel about them but as an example - I’ve got this evening’s beta changelog:
It’s quite basic, brings back a fun fact though which is always nice
However this is the changelog that can be constructed after decompiling the app and taking a peak at the real changes
For the most part I think that could’ve been pasted into the changelog and published to the play store Maybe keep locked pots hushed until iOS is ready (assuming it’s not) and then have it roll out after a blog post from Monzo
but besides that I don’t see why the changelogs need to be so cut down - anybody who signed up for the beta channel did so (hopefully) knowingly
so the theory is that they’re just as curious about all the little bits that’ve changed & been fixed between this week and last
Heck, I reported a small bug last week:
And @edwoollard fixed it but there was no mention of it anywhere else I reckon it would be cool for folks to know, not to the level of “I fixed the capitalisation of Tabs” but certainly things that’re a bit wonky that’re now sorted
But that’s enough “I” for one post Here’s a poll - I wonder how everybody else feels about Android beta changelogs
- Keep the changelogs as they are (but add more animal facts
)
- Add a sensible amount of details (excluding NDA / undready things
)
- Post a line-by-line breakdown of every single change
