✨ Feedback app ✨
We're happy to introduce a new app to the Peerdom app ecosystem: a role-to-role, peer-to-peer Feedback app. Peers can send one another role reviews through the perspective of another role.

Invite your peers to Peerdom only when it makes sense. You now have the option to choose whether you inform them by email or not.

Wednesday, August 19th
✨ Azure AD single sign-on (SSO) is here! ✨
Your team no longer has to create yet another account on yet another service. Use pre-existing log in information from your organisation's Microsoft Azure database to log in to Peerdom and synchronise peers. Contact us to get it set up!
Thursday, August 6th
✨ Contact peers, roles, and entire circles in a single click ✨
Email your colleagues with shortcuts to e-mail all role holders or circle members. This requires that all of your colleagues have provided their email address on their profile.
✨ Can't find that peer? ✨
Now you can add a peer directly during role assignment.
✨ Hey there, Spanky! ✨
We've added the ability to call your peers by a nickname. Enable this optional feature by contacting us.
Wednesday, July 22th
✨ Peer permissions are here ✨
Provide access rights that fit your situation. Peers can now be categorised as a view-only member, a content editor, or an administrator of your Peerdom.
✨ Edit your own profile ✨
Who needs to be an editor anyways? All Peerdom members can now edit their own profile to change their name, email or avatar.
Wednesday, June 24th
💖 Immediately find peers while assigning roles 💖
We've made it much easier to add a peer to a role. By typing the peer's name, you can search and immediately isolate the right peer for the role.
Thursday, June 11th
✨ Change how peers can access your map ✨
If you have "editor" rights on a map, you can now change any peer's access rights to be view-only or editor.
💖 Quickly see which roles are electable 💖
Electable roles are now visually highlighted with an arrow on the map, and a tag in the role inspector. We've also made it obvious if a role holder is within term (green text) or if new elections should take place (red text).
Thursday, May 28th
✨ Electable roles are here ✨
Make your organisation more democratic by marking a role as "electable". Electable roles allow you to specify an elected term limit for its role holders.
💖 Preview formatted text in the role/circle description editor 💖
We've improved the text editor so that you can now preview your Markdown or HTML text formatting before saving.
Wednesday, May 13th
✨ Invite your peers! ✨
When you add a peer to your map, you can now enter their e-mail address to send them an invitation to join Peerdom!
💖 A new way to format text in the circle/role description 💖
You can now format role and circle description text (e.g. in the Notes section) with Markdown. If you prefer, HTML is still possible!

✨ A gorgeous new interface ✨
Peerdom just got more beautiful. We've cleaned up quite a bit and put on fresh coat of paint. Get creative as you map your organisation upon Peerdom's brand-new, neutral and natural tones.
✨ Get down to work with the Projects app ✨
The newest member to our toolkit is the Peerdom Projects app, a space for you to track operational projects such as "Host annual conference" or "Revamp website". Put simply, the Projects app keeps track of your ongoing work. As for all Peerdom apps, if you're interested in activating this module, get in touch with us.
💖 Representative roles now stand out 💖
In a previous release we made it possible to set a role as a representative of a circle. Representative roles now visually "pop out" of your map with a spherical gradient texture! You can also easily identify these special roles in the inspector (right hand side) with the "Representative" tag underneath the role title.
Thursday, March 26th
✨ Customise role and circle definitions ✨
The Peerdom Customisation app just got a lot more powerful: you can now tailor role and circle definitions to match your organisation's needs. Do you want your circles to have a special Budget, Milestones, or KPI section? Does your Holocracy or Sociocracy org design require sections for Domains or Policies? With the Customisation app, you can now add, rename or remove sections to your ❤️'s content. This change is not yet available through the editing interface, so if you're interested, contact us.
💖 Unfilled roles are now striped 💖
One of the most important features in Peerdom is the ability to quickly see which roles are unfilled across your entire organisation. Previously, unfilled roles (roles without a holder) were greyed-out, irrespective of their color settings. We've now made it so that they maintain their color settings and rather become striped (literally unfilled in color).
Tuesday, March 3rd
✨ Customise fundamental Peerdom terms ✨
We're thrilled to add the Peerdom Customisation app to our toolbelt! Peerdom typically defines "peers" who hold "roles" within "circles". If your organisation uses special terminology, you can now change these terms. For example, rename peers to colleagues, roles to positions, circles to teams, and representatives to leaders - or whatever you want! This change is not yet available to through the editing interface, so if you're interested in customising the Peerdom base terms, contact us.

✨ Ha det så roligt! ✨
🇸🇪 Peerdom finns nu på svenska! 🇸🇪
✨ Peerdom documentation is available ✨
We'd like to lend a helping hand. Check out the first version of our Peerdom product documentation. Access it directly from the "Help" link at the bottom of the right-hand column.
💖 Direct access to a peer's profile 💖
You can now directly access a peer's profile by selecting them (right column) and clicking on their image at the top-right of the map. Previously, the only way to get there was by clicking on their name in the peer menu.
Thursday, January 30th
✨ Designate representative roles ✨
If your organisation has roles with a special status (e.g. team leader, guide, representative, lead link, etc) you can now set them as circle representatives. You can see representative roles as having special decision-making accountabilities or responsibility to speak on behalf of the circle in super-circles.
Monday, January 6th
✨ Map external circles ✨
Your organisation is the centerpiece of Peerdom, but you don't exist in a vacuum. Map out your full ecosystem with external circles. External circles appear outside of your organisation's main circle and can be used to collect external roles for complex external entities such as a board of directors, suppliers, and partners.
Monday, December 23rd (2019)
✨ Share your map ✨
Sharing is caring. Inspire others with your sexy organisation design, make it transparent who is responsible for what, and expose your map to whoever you'd like outside of your organisation. You can now create a private, shareable link that provides view-only access to your map.

✨ Map external roles ✨
One of life's unanswered philosophical mysteries asks: are we defined by the sum of our insides? Or are we rather defined by whatever is left over after describing everything outside of us? No need to lose sleep over this puzzle, now you can define both. External roles appear outside of your organisation's main circle. They are a great way to represent external freelancers, auditors, bookkeepers, and temp workers.

✨ Change your profile picture ✨
Your peer profile image can now be uploaded or changed. Now go show your beautiful face to other peers!
✨ Copy/duplicate circles and roles ✨
Quickly create new roles or circles by starting from a previous description. Circles and roles can now be easily copied to other locations on the map. This saves an enormous amount of editing time!
✨ Create mirrored roles ✨
When you copy/duplicate a role into a mirrored copy, every change in that role will be automatically synced between all of the other mirrored roles of its kind. No more repetitive editing work for common roles!
Thursday, October 17th (2019)
✨ Move roles and circles ✨
Mapping has become even more rapid. You can now easily move roles and circles to any other location on your map.

Tuesday, July 2nd (2019)
✨ Lightning fast editing! ✨
One small step for mankind... but one big step for Peerdom toward reactivity and speed! Now you can update map content in real-time. Edit roles, circles and peers and see your changes immediately.
Thursday, November 22nd (2018)
✨ Unfilled roles are highlighted ✨
A birds-eye view of which roles have no holders is useful in two ways: 1) team members can immediately understand where they can best contribute by filling in the gaps and 2) you can observe where you might need to seek help. Roles without holders are now easily seen: they are greyed out and have a dashed circumference.
✨ Quickly see how many roles a peer holds ✨
Get a quick understanding of how roles are distributed across your organisation. The peer menu now shows how many roles each peer holds and highlights peers who currently hold no roles.

Until now, we had to work with you to draw out your map. Now we've given you all the tools necessary to map out your organisation alone. 🎉
Thursday, April 26th (2018)
✨ See which roles a peer holds ✨
One of the most useful features in Peerdom is the ability to quickly see where each peer is involved across the whole organisation. Now, by clicking on a peer's profile image, you will see all of their roles become highlighted on the map!
