May 2026 Trust & Discovery Updates

CURRENT

🔍 Discovery experience

  • • Improved Events Near Me with clearer location controls, better map/list behavior, and a calmer mobile flow for finding nearby Cebu tech events.
  • • Refined search loading feedback so results feel responsive while the event index catches up.
  • • Fixed bottom-tab and event-detail header transitions so navigation layers stay clean while moving between event views.

🛡️ Trust & verification

  • • Added public trust signals on event pages and cards, including source-backed labels and a dedicated explanation of how Cebby verifies event listings.
  • • Added aggregate reliability metrics for upcoming events, including source coverage, multi-source confirmation, trusted organizer coverage, and recent checks.
  • • Renamed Partners to Communities and added badges for token-backed communities so public labels match how people actually discover organizers.

🧰 Admin operations

  • • Added manual event import and scrape-by-URL flows for Luma, Facebook, and Meetup so operators can recover important events without waiting for automation.
  • • Added admin visibility controls, canonical-source refreshes, duplicate candidate detection, and merge support for cleaning up cross-posted events.
  • • Added event audit logging for merges, canonical source changes, visibility changes, and organizer edits.

🏗️ Ingestion & infrastructure

  • • Added multi-source attribution, native Meetup ingest, Luma ingestion, Facebook watch-list improvements, and stricter host validation for imported listings.
  • • Added realtime Typesense index sync and hardened the standalone sync script across Node runtimes.
  • • Stabilized Supabase watchdog workflows and service-health checks so ingestion and search failures are easier to catch.

Cebby 2.0

MAJOR

✨ The reset

  • • Cebby drifted into being half organizer-toolkit, half directory. The survey was clear — nobody wanted the toolkit half. We reset to the one job people actually had: stop platform-hopping for Cebu tech events.
  • • Cut everything that fought the calm — RSVPs on Cebby (we deep-link to Luma / Eventbrite / Meetup / Facebook instead), ads in the feed, looping animations, premium-tier framing. Cebby stays free, ad-free in the feed, and accountless.
  • • Every page got a fresh soft-3D face — tactile cards, real elevation, no kinetic noise. The product and design direction is now locked in /.impeccable.md so the directory stops drifting.
