New Dashboards Coming Soon!

Hello Community!

We have been quietly working away on revamping the dashboards for the last several months and we are excited to share a sneak preview with you.

You can see the new member dashboard here.

You can see the new growth path here.

You can see the new listener dashboard here.

You can see that there are many of the same elements that have been cleaned up and reorganized. The goal was to present the information in a more streamlined and accessible way.

The biggest innovation is the feed in the center. The feed consists of different “cards” that are organized in a scrolling format. As you scroll down more cards will appear. The cards are growth path steps, featured posts in the community, posts from around the different sub-communities and alerts. It will start off being less personalized, but, with time, will become more personalized. Here is an example:

I struggle with anxiety so in my feed I’ll see posts that other people with anxiety find helpful, exercises that will help me better manage and overcome anxiety, and featured posts. Eventually, with time, the feed will get smarter because we will better know what exercises seem to help the most. We can also eventually recommend groups and maybe eventually listeners that specialize in certain topics.

We will start really simple, but the goal is to get people the best information and support to help them feel better and increase strengths to better navigate life and relationships.

One way I’ve imagined this is like a food court at a mall. Here is an image of a food court. There are restaurants all around the perimeter of the food court. If you like sweets, then you might go to cinnabon. If you like chicken, then you might go to popeye’s, and if you want ice cream then you might go to Ben and Jerrys. The normal strategy is to get a table and then walk over to each restaurant and make a purchase.

The normal food court process is kind of like how things work now on 7 Cups. You have to wind around the site and discover different communities, growth path steps, and posts that might help you. We help a lot of people in this way, but it is also unnecessarily challenging, particularly if you happen to be stressed out!

In keeping with our metaphor, the new feed is like walking to the food court and sitting down. Then, without even doing anything, the people from Popeyes come over with your chicken, Ben and Jerry bring over that coconut/almond/chocolate ice cream you like (or is that only me?) and cinnabon brings you over a cinnabon just how you like it.

The feed will surface more areas of the site so that people have to do less discovery and more readily find the tools and support so that they can feel better and reach their goals.

We will be rolling this out in stages in the coming weeks. Our goal is to learn as we go. Some of you might see it. If you do, then let us know what you think! Please post any feedback in this thread.

Thank you and look for more on this front in the coming weeks!
