Changelog
Coetio is built by a student and updated often — here's what's changed.
Teal, checklists, and meeting agendas
- New look: the green accent is now teal, everywhere from buttons to the calendar.
- Events can carry a real planning checklist — before, during, and after sections, items assigned to specific people with due dates and reminders — and you can save a checklist as a template so next year's bake sale starts half-planned.
- Give an event a budget and log what it actually cost; those entries show up on the money page too.
- Print a ready-made poster for any event — big date and time, location, and your club's join QR.
- If you schedule an event on top of another one, you'll get a warning before you save.
- Meetings: build an agenda ahead of time, check items off as you go, and turn the result into minutes without retyping anything.
- Owners can set an attendance bar for good standing — members who fall below it are flagged on the roster.
- Pair a new member with a buddy who helps them settle in.
- Printable attendance certificates for members who showed up.
- We pressed every button in the app and fixed the ones that could fail silently — if something doesn't work, you'll now see a message saying why.
Feed that clears itself, and leader visibility
- Things you've already handled — RSVP'd, claimed a slot, finished a task, acknowledged a post — grey out and drop below what still needs you. Announcements get a "Got it" button.
- Event cards are color-coordinated to their club: the calendar date and category tag now match the club's color (Student Council in magenta, etc.), and every card shows which club it's from.
- Leaders can see who hasn't responded to an event and who hasn't signed up for a sheet — the flip side of the who's-going and claimed lists.
- When you change an event's room or time, you can post an announcement about the change in one click.
A smarter dashboard feed
- Every card on your dashboard now shows which club it's from, how long ago it was posted, and a deadline when there is one.
- Overdue tasks, events starting soon, and leader-flagged important announcements get an urgent highlight so they're impossible to miss.
- A colored bar across the top of each card matches that club's color.
- New: a "Mark all as read" button, a dot on anything new since you last checked, dismiss and snooze on individual cards, and a "group by club" view for anyone in more than one club.
- Leaders can flag an announcement as important — it sorts to the top of members' feeds with a red highlight.
A whole new toolkit
- Announcements got a real publishing workflow: drafts, a scheduled-posts hub, saved templates, a live preview, headings/bullets/italics, an optional PDF attachment, and pins that can expire on their own.
- Tag people in a post with @name, or link straight to an event or sign-up sheet with #title — mentioned members get a notification.
- Leaders can see exactly who's viewed an announcement (names, not just a count) and approve member replies before they're visible.
- A club health card for owners: attendance trend, member growth, and who's gone quiet.
- Involvement records: a printable, verifiable summary of a member's attendance, events, tasks, and approved volunteer hours — the thing you hand a college application.
- Volunteer hour logging and approval, service-hours totals, and a points & leaderboard option owners can turn on.
- Recurring events are now real series — edit or cancel "this and future" occurrences in one move, plus biweekly and monthly repeats.
- Permission slips (acknowledge before attending), post-event ratings, and one-tap Going/Can't RSVP right from the notification.
- Attendance grew a kiosk "tap your name" option with a PIN (no phone needed), bulk check-in, a check-in question of the day, and offline check-in that syncs once you're back online.
- Email invites that pre-approve someone the moment they join, paste-a-roster with a preview before you commit, and a 7-day grace period when you regenerate your join code.
- New for members: an opt-in directory, a suggestion box that's truly anonymous, a club anniversary card, and a handoff journal leaders can leave for whoever comes next.
- New public pages: a hallway TV display for a club, a per-school page listing every club there, category filters on Find Clubs, and event photo albums.
- Search everything with ⌘K, plus a quick-add button for a new event, announcement, or task from anywhere.
- A weekly "this week in your clubs" reminder, and a new-club review queue for the site admin.
The big summer update
- A month-grid calendar view with big, readable dates — plus color-coded event categories and a tap-a-day week strip on phones.
- Tasks can now be a drag-and-drop board: To do, In progress, Done.
- Attendance heatmap for leaders, a live check-in counter for kiosk screens, and streak celebrations when you scan in. 🔥
- Roster card view with avatars, grade breakdowns, and custom fields your club defines.
- Money page shows your balance up front with a monthly income/spending chart.
- Clubs are customizable: turn features on or off, pick what your public page shows, add your own event categories, write a welcome message for new members, and even change your club's web address.
- Your club's color now styles its public page.
- Sign-up sheets show how full they are; notifications are grouped by day; announcements support bold text and links, and deleting one gives you an Undo.
- Dozens of fixes behind the scenes, including stronger sign-in protections and a trash that truly empties after 30 days.
Event menus & mobile polish
- Event actions are now organized into one tidy menu, with a confirmation step before anything gets deleted.
- Navigation links that work properly on phones.
- Smoothed out the event sign-up flow.
- Clearer page titles, so browser tabs and shared links say where they actually go.
