What’s New

We're thrilled to share some fantastic updates to enhance your experience on Navigatr.app. We've revamped the About Page and introduced exciting new features that make connecting with your community and creating badges a breeze. Let’s dive into the details:


A Fresh Look for the About Page

We’ve redesigned the About Page for first-time and logged-out visitors, introducing a scrolling, clickable grid that allows users to explore communities effortlessly. This makes it easier than ever to discover and engage with local badges, pathways, and activities.



  • Communities are now showcased in alphabetical order, complete with captivating cover photos.
  • Changes made to community profiles may take up to 24 hours to appear on the About Page.

Sharing Real People’s Stories

We’ve added a video featuring real users sharing their experiences with Navigatr. The video includes closed captions for accessibility and offers a quick introduction to how others use the platform.


AI Badge Creation

Introducing AI-powered badge creation! Providers can now create badges with descriptions, criteria, and skill tags using a simple text prompt. This experimental feature provides a convenient starting point for badge creation.

Opt-In: If you’d like your provider(s) to use this feature or other experimental tools, contact us to get started.



Enhanced Editing and Categorisation

Improvements for community admins:

  • Search queries for your landing page are now limited to those with results, ensuring engaging content is always available.
  • Categorised lists and icons have been added to the editor for easier industry selection.



⚡ Faster Browsing and Improved Discover Algorithm

We’ve implemented speed enhancements across the site for smoother browsing. The Discover algorithm has also been updated:

  • Providers now appear higher in search results.
  • User preferences are taken into account for a more personalised experience.

Email Reminders for Administrators and New Users

New email reminders include:

  • Administrators: Reminders for those who haven’t accepted their invitations.
  • New users: Reminders for those who haven’t accepted their badge assertions.

Simplified Registration Process

We've made the registration process even more user-friendly:

  • Added a “Sign up as an organisation” link on the registration page for organisations.
  • Pre-filled registration fields for users signing up via admin invitations or badge emails.
  • Organisations can explore Navigatr with a 14-day free trial.
