What’s new.

Week 7: Event Photos and Post-Event Engagement

We’re continuously thinking about how to keep attendees coming back to the event after it’s over so we transition beyond a ticketing/invite system and into a social network. For now, we’re starting with image sharing.

A retro comic illustration of a red and cream instant camera under a starry sky, a fresh photo with a heart sliding out of the top, polaroids of a sunset and a string-lit party fanned out on either side, a speech bubble with a heart and 12 likes, smiley and heart reactions floating nearby, and “Say cheese!” in orange 3D letters on a red burst.

Week 5: Tickets, Analytics, Payments

Ticketed events are here. Hosts can now sell tickets right in Stitch, and guests can buy them in a couple of taps. Groups, notifications and the week view on Home got a fresh look too.

A pop art illustration of three event tickets fanned out on a teal sunburst: an orange Supper Club ticket for Fri 30 Oct at £45, a navy Rooftop Jazz ticket for Sat 24 Oct at £12, and a yellow Admit One ticket with a scan code in front, with “Tickets!” in yellow letters on a red and blue burst.

Week 4: A Fresh Coat of Paint

This week was all about bringing the new look to the rest of Stitch. Profiles, date polls, sign-up and the invite screens all got a refresh, along with plenty of small fixes that make everything feel smoother.

A pop art illustration of a white type card with a big bold “Aa” and a Make a plan button, an old serif “Aa” crossed out in red beside it, surrounded by bright pink, green, yellow and orange event flyers for a salsa social, a birthday picnic, a film club and climbing, with “New type!” in yellow letters on a red burst.

Week 3: Nailing Branding & Design

We’ve been refining the brand design and palette this week. The goal is to give the platform its own identity, while not overcrowding the organisations and community events we’ll eventually want to have on the platform.

A pop art illustration of a hand writing “New look” and a heart in red lipstick on a vanity mirror ringed with light bulbs, with a makeup brush and compact nearby and “Makeover!” in yellow letters on a blue burst.

Week 2: Pilot Feedback

Our first pilot left us with a list of feedback that we spent this week churning through. We’re currently focused on making the experience as intuitive and delightful as possible for the user.

A pop art illustration of two hands, one holding a sparkling diamond and the other polishing it with a polka-dot cloth, set against blue halftone rays, with “Polish!” in yellow letters on a red burst.

Week 1: Piloting to Friends

After two months of building Stitch full-time, we sent out our first real invite: Sunday afternoon drinks at the pub. 43 people signed up by the end of the week, and we got a ton of great feedback.
