We’ve officially reached Build 8 — our second milestone — and Tavrn is starting to feel like a real platform. This post covers our new server system, real-time messaging, roles, settings, and a few things we’re still keeping under wraps (👀).
We’ve been quiet… because we’ve been building.\
And now, we’re proud to say — Tavrn has officially hit Build 8, our second milestone.
This one’s a big deal.
What’s New in Build 8?
After a full system reset not too long ago, we’ve been sprinting toward one of the most important parts of any chat app: servers.
And now? They’re finally working.\
Mostly.
✅ Real-time messages\
✅ Roles and permissions\
✅ Server-wide settings\
✅ Channels that actually channel
This marks the first time Tavrn feels like a platform (to me atleast), not just a prototype.
This Changes Everything
With the server system online, Tavrn moves from “messaging app” to full-fledged community space.\
It’s no longer just about DMs — it’s about how people come together.
Roles let communities self-moderate.\
Settings help personalize and protect.\
Channels give you space to spread out (without overwhelming your screen).\
And the real-time system? It’s buttery smooth.
Of course, we’re still ironing out a few things — but this is the moment we’ve been working toward.
There’s More. But We’re Not Telling… Yet 👀
We’ll be honest — Build 8 isn’t just about what’s been revealed.\
There are other things in the works.\
Little details. Big features.\
Stuff we’re keeping under wraps for now (wink wink).
But if Build 8 is this solid already?\
Just wait for Build 9.
Thanks for Sticking With Us
We’re moving fast, and we’re not stopping.\
Tavrn is being built piece by piece — with intent, care, and a little bit of chaos.\
And with Build 8 in the books, we’re closer than ever to opening the doors for real.
Stay tuned.\
It’s only going to get wilder from here.
