Codementor updates codementor.io

Resolved an issue with push notifications not being sent correctly.

When you choose an expected duration for scheduled sessions, you'll now have longer options: 1.5 hours & 2 hours.

• [Android] Fixed an issue where the keyboard and text input field overlapped when typing messages in the chat window.
• [iOS & Android] You're now able to access uploaded files from the app.

If you use a third-party calendar, such as Google Calendar, you can subscribe to your scheduled sessions using your "calendar feed URL". You can now get your unique URL directly from your My Schedule page.

With the new session schedule experience, it’s now easier and faster to schedule sessions according to your mentor’s availability!

Once a mentor sets up their availability, you’ll be shown times they’re available and can easily schedule the time most convenient for you. You’ll be asked to choose the session start time and estimated session length.

We've also made changes to how a mentor suggests a session time to you. Once you accept a suggested time, you'll immediately see a confirmed scheduled session without additional confirmation from the mentor.

To help prevent incorrect timezones, we'll now double-check whether your local time is the same as your timezone in Account Settings. If not, we'll ask if you want to update your timezone to your local timezone.

If you would like to remove your credit card, you can now do so from the Payment Method settings page. Please know that you'll be required to purchase credits or add another credit card before your next mentorship session or freelance job.

We've made our request forms much easier to use and fill out on mobile and tablet devices.

We've discontinued support for request notes for new requests. You'll still be able to view existing request notes but will no longer be able to add new notes.

It's now easier to hire mentors directly from your request! Once you find the mentor you want to work with, you can directly click on the "Hire" button from your request detail page and choose from a session, freelance job, or code review.
