Highlights
I wanted to finish the underlying infrastructural things so that I can start to focus on the higher-level features.
Features
Implemented User Profiles
Added support for user profiles this week. Now, I can extend the user authentication table with profile data. Since, I want to store minimal data about the users on my server, I have used gravatar to load the profile photo and as of now no other information other than email is stored. Maybe, next week based on user feedback I might save the preferred UPI VPA so that the user does not have to type it every time.
Track generated links
Now users can track the permanent links they have generated so that they don’t have to create a new one every time. This same feature will be used to display links on the public profile which will be released next week. Also, users will be able to edit and delete these as well soon so they can be reused.
Email preview
Now, you can preview the email that will be sent beside the link generator on the send page in real time. I will add support to the profile page to send emails directly from there to multiple comma separated emails.
Front page design
The home page has improved quite a lot from what we started, now we have more details about the features and a more clearer text explaining what upi.link aims to become.
