Changes

🚀 Features

Exact keyword matching for EagleEye

You can now look for posts by an exact keyword in EagleEye. If you send a query wrapped in quotes, we will look for it exactly rather than performing semantic search.

For example, imagine you want to search for content that talks about generative AI but mentions Stable Diffusion. You could send the query: generative ai, "stable diffusion".

• EagleEye exact keyword matching @mariobalca @joanreyero (#383)

Discord forum channels

Forum channels are now supported as part of the Discord integration. We will get posts and all comments on those channels.

v0.9.0

Changes

🔥 A brand-new user interface.

We completely overhauled our design and user experience (you may not even recognize the app). crowd.dev is now much more intuitive to use, and the product feels more polished.

👤 Richer member profiles

Member profiles now show you everything you need to know about an individual in one place, with even richer information on their activity history, tags, engagement level, and much more.

👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 Information on represented organizations

We now show you the total organizations that have been identified in your community, we also update you on any new organizations that are popping up in your community, as well as show you all the active organizations (organizations where members have been active in a given time period). Expect standalone pages for organizations very soon.

🎯 Powerful filters, sorts, and views

Our new powerful filters, sorts and views instantly help you to segment, research, and understand your community more effectively. We have included default views, for example, “slipping away” to identify valuable members that may need some extra attention or “influential” to find individuals with high reach.

🌡️ Sentiment analysis

We’ve built a model to conduct sentiment analysis for all activities in your community to show you how members are feeling, so you can take informed actions.

💌 Trending conversations

We help you keep track of all conversations going on in your community, now, we also show you the ones that are trending and pulling a lot of engagement.

🛠️ Custom attributes and identities

Use our custom attribute function to add specific to you details as well as extra identities for your members beyond their community profiles (e.g., you can add identities using their phone number or extra email).

🔑 Social Sign in with Google

We’ve added social sign-in to make signing up and logging into crowd.dev a breeze. You can now use your Google account.

Breaking changes

This version introduces breaking API changes. While the API has vastly improved and it is now much more powerful, previous scripts written with the API will need to be adjusted. For more information, refer to the API docs.
