Complete UI Overhaul
We're banking on attractiveness bias. Hopefully the app is now so pretty that you won't care that it barely works.
"Content first" was our primary objective. You should also notice:
- Pretty animations draw your attention to new content
- Advanced options don't take up prime real estate
- Users have custom pictures so you can more quickly identify who's done what (they will be customizable in a future release)
- The app has more consistency in icons and fonts
In short we did like 5 minutes of research on design best practices and pretended we knew what we were doing.
News Feed
With the old app you could go out to lunch and your teammates could break the build like 15 times while adding insulting check-in comments, then make a legit check-in seconds before you get back and you'd never know. No more:User stats
This may be the coolest feature even if you aren't a baseball fan or an accountant:
Clockwise from top:
- [big number]: Reputation
- [yellow disk]: Achievements
- F: Fail percentage
- CSB: Consecutive Successful Builds
- T: Total Builds
- FSB: # of times Fixed Someone else's Build
Getting started wizard
You're probably an existing user who could care less, but getting started is now far more obvious:
View build page
If you find yourself caring 99% about one build -- yet somewhat wanting to watch others in order to humiliate build breakers from other projects -- then you'll love this feature. Click the title of a build to get:
- The selected build always stays on top
- News gets filtered to just the current build
- Other projects are still visible, but few details
- You get a pretty chart of the last 8 build times (numbers in minutes, newest on right)
View User Page

SoS Online Integration
Who isn't into public humiliation, right? Or at least some heckling. We now show all SoS Online content right there in the news feed. If you want to shame someone just type in the textbox and hit enter. And thanks to SignalR everything is instantaneous.Moved to GitHub
We finally did it. We'll keep task requests and releases on Google for now, but the code will love in GitHub at the following location:https://github.com/AutomatedArchitecture/SirenOfShame
