Friends & Other Site Updates
This one’s been a long time in the making, but today we’re excited to ship our second major update to the site. Here’s a rundown of what’s new:
Friends
Part of our mission at PeakBucket is to enable our users to share their activity the way they want. To further this goal, we’ve added friendships. We opted to implement a friend/unfriend paradigm (as opposed to a follow/unfollow one) for a few reasons:
-
Private Users: One in three PeakBucket users are private. Friendships give these users the option to selectively share their activity with friends.
-
Features: Friendships provide an unlock for a number of features on our roadmap:
- Users can now tag friends as companions on their activities.
- Users who are tagged as a companion in a friend’s activity can now copy it to their profile (vs. adding it themselves).
- There are more friendship-related features in the works, so stay tuned!

That’s it for big ticket items. Drop us a line if you have feedback, and be sure to check back soon for our next update!
