When I was with that other company ( Untappd ) we could add a 15 sec Display page say with Join Us Friday Night bla bla bla and way we can get something like this or am I missing it some wheres?
First of all itās okay to say āUntappdā here. They take out Google ads against us after all, so I say its OK to acknowledge they exist in return
The ability to inject an image into rotation has been a top request. Itās actually #3 on our Pro roadmap right now, hereās a quick snapshot:
- Support for non-beverage menu items (food, etc)
- Printable menus
- Custom image in rotation
I know 1 & 2 are slightly larger development tasks, so Iāll see if itās possible for 3 to jump the queue. (Roadmap is ranked is by popularity/frequency of request.) Iāll keep this thread open here for you to track!
I didnāt realise they were a competitor, I wrongly presumed that it was just a 3rd party add when Iāve see them on tap screens and they only did the ācheck inā side of things.
Def plus one thousand on this request. The ability to advertise music, food items, etc is a feature that will keep our business on Taplist.
I have gotten around some things by:
(1) Creating a section called Events, adding events as ābeveragesā in the Events section⦠and using the Sectional Theme
Beverage: āLive Music: Friday Aug 5, 7-9 PMā, Provider: āOne Great Bandā
Wish I could use glass images for āon tapā, and logos for other sections.
(2) Printing menu from the web. It takes a long time to tweak print scaling settings so that it page breaks between items.
(3) For custom images, maybe page breaks between sections and allowing each section to have a different āthemeā. An empty section could be used with a custom background to display an image.
Awesome feedback, and thank you for sharing @foothillhops!
Work is well underway for the image carousels and print support. I like how youāve hacked in āeventsā, but we can do better than this - some under-the-hood improvements to the menu system should make it possible.
Weāre aiming to start a closed beta for some of this stuff in the next week or two. Iāll reach out privately - no obligation - to see if youād like to give it an early spin. Cheers!
Yes. Iād love to be involved in the Beta. 40 plus years experience in systems design and tech integration. Now retired with a brewery.
Awesome! That sounds like a great background for kicking the tires & giving us some scrutiny. Shall be in touch within a few days, thanks again.
Thus sounds unreal and sorry to jump on the back off this but it git be really excited!
Happy to do any testing on such features also if possible.
Mikey - Any progress here on Beta testing?
Weāre getting close! No beta yet - but right around the corner. Next week might be a stretch but weāre aiming for it. Poke me here if I havenāt updated by then!
Hey @mikey, like @foothillhops I am in the software business (had my company of one for over 20 years) and am in the process of starting a brewery. I have been using taplist for a long time now for my home biergarten - I have 8 taps. I would be happy to beta test as well.
Thanks @george! Will love some extra eyes. Weāre getting close now - I shall be reaching out soonā¦
Cool cool! Look forward to hearing from youā¦
Poking! Poking! Poking! Sorry but it said I needed at least 20 characters.
This would be an awesome feature to have. I as well would love to beta this, when available! Cheers
Any updates on this yet?
Good news! Weāre rolling out the changes to the TV frontends - which have to be pushed first - this week.
This is a staged rollout that should be invisible to you, you shouldnāt notice any difference. After that, weāll flip on the feature in the dashboard. Iāll try to get folks in this thread activated first, as I know youāre most excited for it!
In summary, total remaining time ⤠1 week.
Thats awesome!!! Cant wait
Update: Finishing touches, and testing, is happening now. Unfortunately - we have a āemergency releases onlyā policy during Thanksgiving week, so this wonāt be in your hands until next week, when I shall be DMāing folks in this thread first.
But hereās a sneak peek!
TV settings will have a new feature, the playlist, where you manage whatās on screen. By default it should look pretty familiar:
You can add another picture by pressing āAdd another itemā. When you do, it becomes the next item in the playlist. You can configure how long it shows for, before the whole thing repeats.
Lather, rinse, repeat!
Anyway, pretty straightforward. Aside from simply being behind other work, the reason itās taken a while is all that under-the-hood stuff we ended up rebuilding to make this possible. The good news it should unlock some other fun features we have planned in this area. Thanks again for your patience - wont be long now!
Any update on this ?
