Launch Control
Just released: Launch Control, v1! Look in the top nav on the website, and you'll see a green button. Click it. It's your new dashboard for your dreams!
This is where you go to manage all of your dives and dreams. You can see on the launch control dashboard there are a bunch of sections that say "Coming Summer 2025". We will be releasing new features on Launch Control every 1- 2 weeks throughout the summer. Keep checking in!
So far:
* All of your certified dives and WYSEguidance posts in one collection
* Easily see your current dives in pursuit
* Easily add new dives of interest
* Easily certify new dives from this page
Coming later this summer:
* Daily Motivation version 1
* Progress Status version 1
* ToDo Lists, version 1
* Daily Motivation version 2
NOTE: Launch control exists on the mobile app too (Press + and then the rocket!) but new features are going to be rolled out first HERE on the website, and then, after the code is stable, we will then release the same feature on the mobile app. The mobile app will probably be 3 weeks behind desktop.

Update:
Lonely Posts
We have a TON of lonely posts (posts that have less than 3 comments). Can you each please try to respond to 3 lonely posts per day until we get them down to zero? There should not be so many lonely posts. Break Divers help one another, right? Let's make those posts less lonely.
Click on the sad face on web colorful sidebar nav, or 'lonely posts' on the mobile app homepage.

New Features & Road Map
JUST RELEASED:
* New version of mobile app for Android and iPhone (released yesterday). Please download if you haven't yet, and please leave us a 5-star review with a few sentences on the app stores! The biggest new feature is a redesigned 'Launch Control'. Go take a look by pressing +, and then the rocket ship.
* Updated Hot Topics (for web): Now, there is a 'marked as read' feature. It works automatically. Open up Hot Topics (the fireball icon in side menu) and it will show you all posts from the last 10 days that have new comments. Click on one of them and it will open a new tab AND at the same time, remove that post from the list. So you can read the latest comments in the new tab, then close it, and now the hot topics list has one less post! See if you can get the list down to zero! Try it out. Now it's like a game to get your Hot Topics feed down to zero!
COMING TOMORROW:
* Launch Control, version 1 (web): There will be a big new button in the top nav called Launch Control. This is your new dashboard to make your dreams come true. I will share more tomorrow once it's released. It is the beginning of what I believe is going to turn Break Diving into a viral sensation.
COMING THIS SUMMER:
* Launch Control, versions 2, 3, 4, and 5: We are going to be adding more and more features to Launch Control throughout the summer, and as each feature is added on web, it will follow soon after on the mobile app. Very soon, Break Diving will be two apps in one: 1) The community you already know and love, and 2) the most inspiring to-do list app you've ever seen! Both working seamlessly together.
* Local City Groups: I am working on getting local city groups formally launched by late summer and early fall. The priority is Launch Control, but once that's done, we will get to work on the local city groups, so you can more easily find people in and around your city.

Dives Notes
DIVE NOTES:
1. There are 6 pending dives. I am working through them.
2. Starting today, when you certify an individual dive, you will only receive a certificate if you pay $5. You will then receive the certificate posted in the community, and you will also receive a PDF copy sent to you via email. We have to start earning money for laborious tasks.
3. You will always receive a certificate when you upgrade a member level (like Russell did today to Break Diver - Level 1). For now, it is free to upgrade member levels, but soon, there will be a fee associated with each member upgrade (not dive upgrade), increasing with each dive level you achieve. So: Break Diver Level 1 = $10, Level 2: $25, Level 3: $50, Level 4: $75, Level 5: $150, and Level E: $300. Again, we HAVE to start making money or we are going to go under.
4. If you haven't yet, download our new mobile app, available on Android and iPhone. The new version was released on Android yesterday, and will be released on iPhone in a few days. It has a new "Launch Control" that is getting us closer and closer to the full Launch Control we will release for you in August.
5. Finally, it's time for you to submit a new dive certification! Go ahead and make it happen! It's free to do so. And we are all rooting for you!
PS - We are starting to have a good solid group in the Level 1 posse. We have a private Level 1 chatroom, and private Level 1 only events. Pretty cool!

You can use this same strategy on ANY social media platform where you have the ability to send private messages to others. There are two versions: a sales script for strangers; and a sales script for people you know.

2. Our mobile app is released! In case you didn't know, you can download the mobile app on both Play Store and App Store. It will be available in Europe later this week, so keep checking! We have to just fix one thing with Apple. It may already be available for Android users. Some say it's available in China; others say it is not. Hard to know for sure.
3. Launch Control coming! After so many years, I (Monroe) am so excited to report that to-do lists are finally coming to Break Diving. We will first be releasing the new web Launch Control, and then adding to that: daily motivation, progress status, and then finally, to do lists. This to do lists feature will also be integrated into the mobile app. Our hope is that Break Diving will quickly become your favorite task-management app, because you get to see what others are doing, and get inspired, while also inspiring them! Timeline: Launch Control ==> July 4th, 2025 Daily Motivation ==> July 15th Progress Status ==> July 21 To-Do Lists version 1: August 5th
