Google Play + iOS TestFlight

Much like a good pastrami sandwich, this email will also have few delicious layers, although it is not edible. (We're working on edible emails but expect delays.)

Part One.

The big news is we are in the Google Play Store and iOS Store. Hurray!

Google Play can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.ruva

iOS is in Beta, so you will first need to grab Apple's TestFlight App, to install Ruva. This can be found here: (some people have had to click this link once to install TestFlight, then come back to activate Ruva)*

Finally, for an easy link for all ways to get Ruva you can share with friends simply head to our site here: www.ruva.app/go

Part Two. Ruva Community.

We are just at the beginning of this. If you would like to connect with other Ruva enthusiasts, join our community on Discord. Our discord community can be a good place to ask questions, troubleshoot, or discuss what new features you would want in Ruva.

Part Three. How many layers does a pastrami sandwich have?

If you haven't seen our Youtube channel, it has a lot of information about our progress and design philosophy. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH_jbNIrie_q2RBW8EZON-A

I'm thrilled about how far our small team has come with this big vision for a better social media alternative. Because we are low on resources, the going is slow, and it is going to take a long time to build the features that allow you to purchase stickers and other fun stuff. In the meantime, if you want to show us that you support this project, consider joining the Patreon donor page, and it will show us there is support for what we're building. Patreon Donor Page: https://www.patreon.com/ruva

As I've said, I do not want Ruva to be pay-to-play, or have any ads. We would like to have in-app customizations to fund the project. Patreon is a way to show your support until we can build those other features. To be honest, I'm not a Patreon expert, and if there are ways to provide special incentives for supports I can try to find them. However my main focus is to get Ruva running to its full potential.

*iOS App store note: While we passed all of Apple's security tests and overall app readiness, Apple asked us to make some changes including removing anything in our app which says "coming soon". Therefore we are currently inside Apple's "TestFlight" system, where apps can be accessed through their TestFlight app. In the coming weeks we can make the changes which Apple requires of us.

Thank you for being here.

Building a better way to be connected to your friends and family is our priority.

Making a platform that is safer, less addictive, and connects you faster is our vision.
