This release is one of our most feature-packed yet, introducing the Group Categories System, a new public events search page, and a robust membership approval workflow for both free and paid groups. We’ve also enhanced the notification system for better performance, made critical UI/UX fixes, and implemented payment handling where group leaders are now the merchant of record for subscriptions and payments.
This release brings major upgrades across several key areas of the platform. We’ve enhanced the real-time notification system to be faster, smarter, and more efficient—supporting in-app, email, and push delivery. Auth flows (like registration and password recovery) now work as intended, with smoother redirection post-login. Group pages now redirect cleanly to human-readable slugs for better SEO and sharing. Several UI polish items were also addressed to make the experience more consistent across devices and themes.
This release, v1.0.0-beta.4, focuses on key production readiness improvements—including full mobile responsiveness for core pages, consistent dark mode styling, and restored email notifications via SES. It also resolves several layout and display bugs, enhancing the overall user experience across devices.
This release focuses on major improvements to event routing, image handling, calendar links, SEO, mobile navigation, and accessibility. We've standardized URLs across the platform, enhanced sitemap support for search engines, improved the user experience with dark/light theme handling, and squashed a few bugs related to event creation.
Some quality of life fixes and fixes needed for event creation and event checkout.
Fixed in v1.0.0-beta.1
🚀 The Homeschool Hive Beta is Live!
We’re thrilled to announce the beta release of Homeschool Hive, a platform purpose-built for homeschool groups to manage events, payments, communication, and more—all in one place.
Hey there 👋 — I’m Carl, the founder of Homeschool Hive.
This platform was born out of a simple frustration: managing homeschool groups using social media and scattered tools wasn’t just inefficient — it was chaotic. Homeschool Hive was created to bring clarity, connection, and confidence to the homeschool community.
