Top 5 Community Moments

General Chat

So I was waxing lyrical the other day about my top 5 community moments. I figured, since we all have a favourite moment in community history, we could share them here.

Here’s my top… few…

  1. New Neon Card Day - from the photo shop skills of @Lewis_P (who appears to be #TeamGree wtf) and @Revels and the amazing community exclusive - what a win.
  2. Google Sheets Auto Export Day - and the amount of fun had dashboarding and IFTTTing. That was a good day (until Plus/Flex/Other features broke it :()
  3. The Plus v1 Launch was seemingly pretty popular at the time too.
  4. Generally, and post that involves an @Peter_G deep dive or poll. Always good.

I’m going to think of spots 5 later in the day… What are yours?

(and yes I’m having a slow day of work now the anticipation of my new yello card has arrived)

In no particular order

@cnrgtl’s Master’s Project, particularly the idea of vaults, that we now see as Pots, but there is so much good stuff in there.

Monzo’s new look - Although I’m not a massive fan of the current app design, this thread and @bruno gave a pure masterclass in community engagement.

@Revels fantastic dashboard and @MalaiseForever spotting this in the guide which has spawned an in community joke.

The launch of Summary - It didn’t, and still doesn’t suit everyone but I remember really looking forward to this feature coming to the app. It was a big new feature that was open to all, even if it didn’t suit them. While I’ve used it less over the years I still value the Red/Amber/Green bar with the little ticker on the home screen. Perhaps that’s more of a monzo moment than a community one, but it did create a lot of buzz in the community.

The recent buzz in the community is also right up there for me, particularly with the new neon cards for the community thread. Team :disco::man_dancing:

Apple Pay was a huge hoot. When it got released accidentally, then rolled back, and people who had it could keep it, and those that didn’t, had to wait for a bit.

Ben I can’t believe you didn’t include pot images!

Great work from @rknightuk and always ready to update with the latest change that people want.

And a vote for @jackcully being a good sport with the photoshops and still posts despite knowing what’s coming when he does.

Ah yes Pot Images - also a pretty good time in the community. I remember aggressivley trying to recreate the Premium gradient to be used as a pot image. Still have some of my OG pot images from when that first came out. But I need to yelloify them now.

What about when you made a new account to troll because you made such an idiot of yourself with the other one, Becky?

  • The day(s) the forum stood still
  • When @N26throwaway nicked an email address offered as a joke profile and kept it running
  • @bruno 's engagement with v2 (outstanding)
  • Every post Danny made
  • Every post I’ve made

There are many, many, many more, too which I could mention if I got my thinking hat on :cowboy_hat_face: . All round entertainment this place is. Not bad going for a bank forum :eyes:

The recent one has got to be the neon card and how everyone changed their photos to the colour matching their card.

I can’t really think of anything else at this moment.
