A month ago we announced the release of our new app, which you can find here<\/a> or by searching SB Nation in your neighborhood app store. Quite a few of you have downloaded it over the past month and have been using it.<\/p>\n

The goal with this app was to make it easier to join the community, and specifically comment, read the comments, and make your own posts, as well as keeping all the community posts \u2013 articles on the front page, Feed posts from you \u2013 front and center.<\/p>\n

The results so far are encouraging. In fact, it\u2019s helped us set a new all-time record for comments this month across all of SB Nation\u2019s communities, and I want to thank y\u2019all for that.<\/p>\n

I especially want to thank everybody who\u2019s been coming in and keeping things lively during the chat and discussion threads. Whether you\u2019re in there getting hyped up or going into full doomer mode<\/a>, we\u2019re glad to be able to provide an outlet for you in a moment when staying in community means so much.<\/p>\n

One of the most exciting new features is the game chat. It makes it easier to follow along with the barrage of comments that come during games and gets to the heart of why so many of you spend time in our community. Faster loading comments and notifications when someone replies to your comments and Feed posts are creating a more fun experience that you\u2019re not going to find anywhere else.<\/p>\n

We also wanted to elevate the community\u2019s contributions by putting your Feed posts inside one stream alongside all the other articles from the site. To that end, more people have seen your posts and more people have commented on them. In fact, we\u2019ve set single-day commenting records three different times since the season started.<\/p>\n

And if you prefer just reading our traditional front page articles, there\u2019s an option at the top to do that.<\/p>\n

So, one month in, thank you for making us part of your routine. If you haven\u2019t checked it out, you can get it for iOs<\/a> or Android<\/a>. And if you\u2019re not an app user, that\u2019s totally fine! We\u2019re glad to have you following along in whatever way makes you most comfortable.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for locking in with us on the app and continuing to rock with us in general. Now let\u2019s keep on having a fun October!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A month ago we announced the release of our new app, which you can find here or by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":790131,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[3250,2306,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-790130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-general","tag-mobile","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=790130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790130\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/790131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=790130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=790130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=790130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
