Implement closed alpha testing phase with exclusive user perks #27

Description

@Jose-Gael-Cruz-Lopez

Description

Instead of an open launch, implement a closed alpha testing phase to control quality and create hype. Alpha testers should feel special with exclusive perks.

Tasks

  • Create an invite/waitlist system for alpha access
  • Add exclusive 'Alpha Tester' badge to user profiles
  • Add a unique set of node colors available only to alpha testers
  • Add a profile customization section (node color picker, etc.)
  • Set up a feedback collection pipeline for alpha users

Why

  • Prevents the 'used it for a couple days then abandoned it' pattern seen with other apps
  • Creates social buzz and a sense of exclusivity
  • Allows the team to gather focused feedback before a wider launch

Notes

  • Target date being discussed: March 27, 2026
  • Discussed March 21, 2026

                              Implement closed alpha testing phase with exclusive user perks #27

                              Description

                              @Jose-Gael-Cruz-Lopez

                              Description

                              Instead of an open launch, implement a closed alpha testing phase to control quality and create hype. Alpha testers should feel special with exclusive perks.

                              Tasks

                              • Create an invite/waitlist system for alpha access
                              • Add exclusive 'Alpha Tester' badge to user profiles
                              • Add a unique set of node colors available only to alpha testers
                              • Add a profile customization section (node color picker, etc.)
                              • Set up a feedback collection pipeline for alpha users

                              Why

                              • Prevents the 'used it for a couple days then abandoned it' pattern seen with other apps
                              • Creates social buzz and a sense of exclusivity
                              • Allows the team to gather focused feedback before a wider launch

                              Notes

                              • Target date being discussed: March 27, 2026
                              • Discussed March 21, 2026
