New Release: PeepSo & Gecko 3.0.4.0


Introducing new navigation options and Early Access performance features

New navigation options: Following & Saved

The ability to view only followed and saved content has existed in PeepSo for quite a while now, but some users reported concerns that these features are a bit hard to find when buried in the stream filters area.

In this release we let you enable the PeepSo navigation links related to these two stream filters. You can only enable them if your primary stream filter is set to “Community” and you do not use “sticky” stream filters. To make things easier to configure, we moved these two settings to navigation config as well.

When enabled, the new menu items will show right under / next to the Community link.

PeepSo > Configuration > Navigation options – new home for Default Stream Filter, Remember Last Filter and the new menu items

Early Access

Experimental Fast Queries were moved to the Early Access plugin, which is a natural home for experimental features like this. We also added a new section – Experimental Fast Friends Queries which helps with a reported slowness issue for users who have thousands of friends.

Other improvements

We improved the behavior of profile and group covers on mobile devices, including repositioning interface and aligning them on page load. Gecko 3.0.4.0 also ships improved LearnDash support. As always, a full changelog can be found here.

I am a professional nerd with **over fifteen years of experience** in the field of Open Source web development. Before [PeepSo](https://PeepSo.com) I was a contractor and have helped build successful businesses around the world, including USA, UK, Germany, Indonesia, and Malaysia. A couple of years leading up to founding PeepSo, I was involved with JomSocial โ€“ a social networking extension for Joomla. Stepping up from the role of a contractor to a business owner, I became [PeepSo](https://PeepSo.com) founder and Chief Technology Officer. I strive to build beautiful, fast, and functional software that **empowers users to build their own digital tribes with full autonomy and freedom** often not available on mainstream social networking media. In 2023 we spun off a new company to launch [Awedesk](https://awedesk.com) – a complete ticket-based client support solution for WordPress. I also created [ListoWP](https://LIstoWP.com), a modern to-do plugin for WordPress which is now evolving into a project management tool.

@peepso_user_10(Matt Jaworski) Well I like the following system of IG – one way friendships – meaning someone can follow me but I don’t have to follow them back… Maybe eliminating friends all together isn’t a terrible idea… just a thought.

just curious – being that my online presence is not small all platforms combined over 1million followers – so what does someone in this position need to consider. How does someone who has the potential to build something large scale approach it… something tells me at that point it doesn’t involve Wordpress right… just asking an honest question. I don’t know this side of things – this is your world.

I’d use it as a way to provide content and monetize it and invest that money into a team who can build something to specs if it cant be handled by the peepso system. But I don’t think that friends connections slowing things down and adding a limit to friends is that bad. Makes the friends you do choose meaningful. Also I think pages will be a feature soon so if someone does need to network hopefully that feature will suffice. And I’ve been around for a while….this system keeps getting better. I’m sure the peepso team will figure it out eventually….just donno how long it could take.
