March 2026
March was the single highest-volume month of the year with 47 PRs. Points expiration + delayed distribution + org-level points config shipped as one connected story. The referral distribution pipeline finished end-to-end. Tiered achievements + spotlight rewards + redemption expiry closed out the gamification-surface roadmap. Customer Data Hydration phases 2-4 went live for enterprise customers. And the bohemian rebrand swept through the admin panel.For Admins & Community Managers
