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.

01 Profiles worth a look

  • Your profile now shows how many friends and events you have, with a scrolling grid of the events you’ve been to.
  • Other people’s profiles share the same layout, with a friend button and a way to report someone if you need to.
  • Anyone you’ve blocked is now listed in Settings, so you can see and manage them in one place.
The profile screen before and after: a small name and counts above a grid of event posters on the left, and on the right a large name with friend and event counts in their own tiles.

02 Picking a date together

  • Date polls now live on one page, with a simple switch between sharing your availability and voting on set times.
  • Once you’ve voted, you can see how everyone else answered.
  • Back and close now work the same way on every poll and event form screen.
The availability poll before and after: a Share Availability grid with numbered boxes on the left, and on the right an Availability poll title, a Fewer to More free scale and a cleaner grid of times.

03 Creating events and inviting friends

  • Places you’ve used recently show up as soon as you tap the location field.
  • You can tap Create at any time, and it takes you straight to anything still missing, with a note on what’s needed.
  • Inviting friends and adding co-hosts have a cleaner layout, with each guest’s reply shown next to their name.
The Invite screen before and after: pill filters and a Select shown link on the left, and on the right a bold Invite title, simple All, Friends and Invited tabs and a Going badge beside a guest who has replied.

04 A friendlier sign-up

  • Signing up has a fresh look, from the first screen through to choosing your country and creating your account.
  • If you sign up from an invite, you land back on that event, ready to reply.
  • Changing your phone number is now a clear step-by-step flow.
The sign-up screen before and after: an Enter your number heading with a large Send code button on the left, and on the right a bold What’s your number? heading with a single phone number field.

05 More control for hosts

  • Requests to join your event now have their own Requests tab, and leave the list once you’ve decided.
  • You can change any guest’s reply from a dropdown in Manage guests.
  • Hosts no longer show up in their own guest list or count.
The Manage guests screen before and after: Going, Maybe and Poll responded pills on the left, and on the right Going, Maybe, Can’t Go and Requests tabs with a reply dropdown beside each guest.

06 What we’re working on next

  • A redesigned Groups section, with each group’s next event up top and easier ways to invite people.
  • Notifications for group invites and requests to join a group.
  • Photos and GIFs in event comments, and ways for hosts to share promo photos and for guests to share their photos after the event.
A group page today and coming soon: a large striped banner with the group name on the left, and on the right a compact header with the group’s next event and a Create event button.
