We want to start by saying thank you. To everyone who downloaded Gibbet, explored the communities, tested features, and told us what worked and what didn't — you are the reason this app gets better. Every bug report, every piece of feedback, every frustrated message matters to us. We read all of it.

Let's be honest. Version 1.0.0 was a rough start. Core features that should have worked out of the box didn't. Chat rooms were unreliable. Posts weren't displaying properly. Wikis were losing content. Comments weren't functioning the way they should. We know that's not the experience anyone signed up for, and we take full responsibility for it.
So instead of making promises, we made fixes. Version 1.1.0 is live today, and here's what we tackled.
[B]Chat is stable
We rebuilt how chat rooms load and handle connections. History loads faster, errors on entry have been resolved, and online member counts are now accurate. We also locked down access so only community members can enter community chat rooms — no more ghost visitors.
[B] Posts display correctly
The issue preventing content from showing up on home pages has been fixed. A database constraint was blocking posts from saving properly, and that's been resolved. On top of that, you can now customize how your posts look with Post Card Bubbles from the new Bubble Shop.
[B] Wikis no longer lose your work
The bug causing wiki content to randomly disappear has been fixed. We also rebuilt the wiki approval system — submissions now go through a proper review dashboard with folder organization, so leaders can manage content without things falling through the cracks.
[B] Comments work
The reply bug has been squashed. You can comment, reply, and interact with posts the way you'd expect.
We hear you on community creation. Right now, community creation is limited to the team while we're in beta. This is intentional — we want to make sure moderation tools and safety systems are solid before opening the floodgates. But we've replaced the old error screen with a proper welcome page that shows you every active community and lets you jump right in. More Lily Pads are coming as we grow.
[B]Admin responsiveness.
This is on us. We've implemented push notifications across the app so you'll actually know when someone responds to you — likes, comments, follows, messages, all of it. We've also built out Studio Gibbet as a dedicated channel for platform-wide communication. We're here, and we're going to be faster. (If push notifications still don't work let us know)
[B]The coin system
Gibbet's coin system Is new. There are two ways you can earn coins. By being active and checking and by watching ads. You do not have to watch ads but it's an option if you want coins. We will try to make the ad pop ups less annoying in the future. And we will work on making the coin system better. As mentioned we have a shop now and you can also donate to users via their post as you like.
[B]The APK situation
Yes, you still download Gibbet from our website and yes, Android will show a warning. That's standard for any app installed outside the Play Store — it's not a security issue. We're working on getting into the Play Store and will update the community the moment that's live. In the meantime, our website now has clear step-by-step install instructions and a safety explanation so nobody has to wonder if the download is safe.
[B]Three languages
Gibbet now fully supports English, Spanish, and Russian across every screen in the app. More languages are on the way.
We're not going to pretend 1.0.0 was what we wanted it to be. But we are going to keep showing up, keep fixing things, and keep building the platform this community deserves. Changes must be made, and changes will be made.
If you haven't tried v1.1.0 yet, grab the update from gibbet.app. If you run into anything, tell us. We're listening.
See you in the Lily Pads.
— Team Gibbet
