June 18, 2026
MC Mobile App (iOS)

Applies to: iOS

The MC mobile app is now available on the App Store.

  • Push notifications: Real-time delivery on new messages

  • Mobile-optimized layout: Spacing and component sizing rebuilt for smaller viewports, not a scaled-down web view

  • Native photo upload: Direct access to camera roll for image attachments

  • Deep linking: Notification taps route directly to the relevant post, message, or event, bypassing manual navigation

  • Pull-to-refresh: Manual refresh gesture added to all feed views

Platform note: Android is in development.

Full-Text Search

Applies to: Web, iOS

Introducing search across five content types: Posts, Organizations, Events, Communities, Opportunities, and People. Per-type filters are available to scope results. Across content types, Posts rank above Events, Organizations, and other types by default

Out of scope: Direct messages, comments, and connections are not indexed.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed image load performance regression causing visible flicker on initial render across feed and profile views

Smarter MC Links

  • Preview includes a type icon and label prior to navigation

  • Supported types: Event, Organization, Opportunity, Community, Person, Post

Example rendering:

Community Member Status

Applies to: Web, iOS

Member list views now segment by status:

  • active — accepted and engaged members

  • invited — invite sent, not yet accepted

  • requested — pending admin approval

A search field was added to the member list for direct lookup within a community, independent of status filter.

Messaging Improvements

  • Inline sub-comment expansion: Sub-comments render inline within the parent thread view; no longer requires navigation to a separate comment page

  • Auto-unfurl for media in messages: Photos, links, and GIFs shared via direct message now render as inline previews instead of requiring a click-through

UI Change

  • Notification indicators (messages, connection requests, general notifications) updated to a higher-contrast red-scale treatment for improved visibility

Bug Fixes

  • Deleted opportunities no longer persist in the Active Now column without a manual refresh

  • Users with a pending community join request no longer appear in the general (approved) members list

February 2026

Photo Editor

Applies to: Posts, Opportunities, Events

Rebuilt image handling for content creation, supporting up to 3 images per item.

  • Drag-to-reorder supported

  • Delete/replace no longer triggers save-state errors (previous editor had intermittent failures on replace)

Invite & Referral Expansion

  • Existing: personal referral link (Invite a Friend menu)

  • New: direct email invite

  • New: CSV bulk upload for community-scoped invitations

January 15, 2026

Link Previews

Applies to: Web, iOS

Pasting a URL into a post, event, opportunity, or comment now generates an automatic preview (title, image, description) via metadata scraping.

Constraints:

  • Max 1 preview per post

  • If a manual image is attached to the same post, the link preview is suppressed

  • Preview generation coverage: most articles, .gov domains, research repositories, and company sites. Coverage gaps are being resolved on an ongoing basis

  • Preview can be dismissed independently of removing the underlying link

January 1, 2026

MC Update Email

Applies to: Email (weekly digest)

New scheduled email, delivered Mondays, personalized per-user based on community membership, connection graph, and engagement history.

Digest contents:

  • Top 3 posts (from followed communities, falls back to platform-wide feed if insufficient signal)

  • Upcoming events matched to user interest graph

  • New opportunities

  • Suggested connections (2nd-degree, via existing connection graph)
