Today is a happy day: we are celebrating the official launch of the GarageID Beta version of the application to the world! But first, let me introduce myself:
I'm Michael Bohnen, CTO and Cofounder of GarageID. Basically I'm the nerd behind the scenes managing the creation of the application managing the development, design, and testing teams.
So enough about me, let's get back to the reason for the post: GarageID is officially in BETA access as of January 14th, 2024. This means we have finalized the first revisions of the driver/vehicle profile features as well as the basic event management functionality for testing. Access to create an account is still currently restricted to only authorized Beta testers (this was included in our Kickstarter campaign which concluded the same date) but soon will be open for everyone to create a free account and have access to all features of the application..
If anyone has previously visited the application, I encourage you to check it out again now (https://app.garageid.com) as many features have been added and redesigned. Here are a few teasers of some major updates:
New Desktop Layout!
Wallet/Assets!
Event Management!
So as you can see, we've been busy cranking out weekly updates to the system (see the weekly update details here: https://garageid.com/updates/tech-updates/). So now you may ask: what's next?!
After polling our many initial partners and testers, we have decided to next focus on the social posting/feed features for drivers to encourage all users to actively participate on the platform, tell everyone what all you've been up to, and earn some rewards for doing so! We are also looking to expand out the digital assets functionality to include discount/vouchers, boosts to earn more points, and more vehicle/custom assets to collect.
Sneak Peak at Posts???
The plan is to include these new features in our official v1 public release scheduled for End of March (Q1). This will also mark the end of our Beta testing and access to the entire application will be available for EVERYONE to enjoy! After that, Q2 hopes to bring full Team Management and enhanced advertisement features to the platform.
Stay tuned and pedal down, drivers!
-Michael
