Hey Ribblrs!
I’m thrilled to announce some amazing improvements and new features coming to Ribblr, starting today!
But first, some reflection 
It’s been 3.5 years since Ribblr came to life, and what a journey it’s been. I feel so lucky and grateful to continue building Ribblr and working toward our mission of making crafting more accessible for all crafters around the world. Seeing the impact Ribblr has had on crafters’ lives fills my heart in ways I can’t describe.
I believe it’s important to reflect as people, be proud of our journey, and recharge so we can do even better moving forward. That’s exactly what we’ve been doing recently!
Running a startup is super challenging, incredibly fun, but also really hard. It’s nearly impossible to explain the number of tasks we’re tackling and the big decisions we make every single day. Over the past few months, we’ve grown so much - with millions using Ribblr, new partners onboarded, and new team members joining us. It’s thrilling but equally challenging to balance it all, to be completely honest.
I’m also aware that in our decision-making process, there’s always a trade-off. We have to choose to focus on one thing over another. For the last 18 months, we’ve really focused on releasing new features and improvements nearly every month (sometimes every other week!). This includes new testing tools, Materials on Ribblr and Smart Match, Ribblr+, Ribblr Live, The Ribblr Show, Bundles, shop giveaways, Chat, Stories, shareable, Stash, image editing, social integration, and that’s just on top of my head! (Check it all out here.)
While I’m super proud of these incredible features, many based on your Suggestions 
and feedback, I’m also aware that we’ve introduced new issues and bugs in the process.
Now, we’re excited to spend the next few months ironing out many of these issues to make Ribblr better than ever.
This includes user-experience fixes, user-interface improvements, and a lot more to make your experience smooth, fast, personalized, and super fun.
So… what’s new and what’s coming soon?
We started with an improved search last month that’s faster and more accurate. We’ve also launched an AI-supported help center so you can find answers quickly and easily.
Today, I’m excited to announce the first rollout of our user interface improvements. It includes new animations, faster loading speeds, a new pattern card look, new labels, messages, menus, and a faster login and registration process.
This is just the first rollout, and I honestly cannot wait for you to see everything we have lined up.
Let me know what you think in the comments below and I’ll keep you posted as we release more improvements in the coming weeks 
Yours,
Lir | Founder, Ribblr
