Rounds has its community screens - Product News

Rounds is the community app, separate from Backed's grant management, so this has no Help Centre article.

What's new

• A new look on the phone and the desktop. The desktop has a sidebar and a search bar, and a phone has a tab bar. Search now finds grants as well as posts and people.
• Home and the feed. Home shows how many grants are open and closing soon, features the next grant to close, and lists what is trending. Following shows posts from the people you follow. A post opens on its own page with its comments.
• Your network. Follow people, send and answer connection requests, see your followers, and find grant writers by focus. A member can list themselves as a grant writer.
• Groups. Search the groups and join one.
• Messages. Message anyone you are connected with. An open conversation checks for new messages by itself, and you can mute one or report it to support.
• Invite a colleague. Your invite link takes a colleague to the access request form, and their request names you.
• Activity, Explore and your pipeline. See what has happened on your posts and profile, browse communities, popular funders and what closes soon, and check your funding at a glance. Rounds does not track applications yet, so your pipeline figures are zero.

Anything marked Soon is on its way and does not work yet. The live briefing at /live is a sample of how one will look, and says so.
