NovenaNetwork

August 18, 2023

- Added the Surrender Novena to the library of novenas!

January 12, 2023

- Added feature giving users the ability to delete their account and all associated data. - Added optimistic updating of World and Profile when a user creates, deletes, joins, and leaves a novena. This makes associated UI updates feel less laggy while CloudKit is busy reindexing modified records. - Began migrating CloudKit calls to use more modern APIs. - Removed Connect and Notifications tabs due to low adoption rates. I have future ideas for how to use that space...stay tuned! - Other general updates.
