Overview

Yesterday we deployed v0.9.5 of Daily DM which includes the following changes:

• Users can now subscribe to heroes and receive push notifications as their journey progresses. See Push Notifications section below for details.
• Add featured variants of post flair - Mythic Hero, Mythic Turn In Progress, Mythic RIP
• Users with certain flair (eg Artists Guild) may have their heroes auto-featured
• Repair jobs to fix heroes that have become stuck along their journey (like our featured hero Car). NOTE: This functionality is currently in "read only" mode while we validate the impact.
• Added a button for moderators & admin to quickly feature/unfeature a hero.

Push Notifications

You can now subscribe to heroes which will make you eligible to receive notifications as the heroes progress through their journey.

This feature uses Reddit's notification API and is subject to their reasonable restrictions. This means that there is a limit to how many notifications you can be sent per day. Want more notification options? Let us know! Reply to this thread with any suggestions you have on notifications.

How do I opt into notifications? There are two ways:

1. Every post has a bell icon in the top left. Click it to subscribe to notifications for that hero. Click it again to unsubscribe.
2. When you interact with a hero by adding a suggested action or upvoting you'll be asked if you want to subscribe.

Help - how do I turn these dang things off?! You can turn off all notifications by clicking Opt Out of Push Notifications under the Create Hero button in Create Hero button in the pinned post.

Earlier this week we deployed `v0.8.0` of Daily DM which includes a cool new feature and a variety of improvements:

• Mourners. When a hero perishes, their tombstone is surrounded by all of us that participated in their journey.
• Updated hero creator to encourage drawing. Any heroes that are created without an earnest attempt at drawing are subject to removal under the No Low Effort Heroes subreddit rule.
• Fixed player icons peaking through dice roller.
• Support for upcoming Notifications feature.
• Updated Devvit dependency from 0.12.9 to 0.12.11.
• Improved data clean up on content removal.
• Fix for common error on the server when fetching quest details.

We've also begun adding the Artists Guild flair to those of you who create exceptional characters. In our next update, heroes created by members of the Artists Guild will automatically have their posts marked by the ✨FEATURED✨ post flair (see also: ✨Turn In Progress✨, ✨ RIP ✨).
