\r\nSingapore is fully incorporated into Anuran: attractions, apps, checklist, you name it. Check out a couple of complete plans right now:

\r\nFamily Trip - $5190, 10 days
\r\nFusion of Nature and Technology - $4000, 10 days

\r\nWe integrated with Kiwi for airplane tickets search! Now, you can find the cheapest flights from your Anuran trip plan, with destination, origin and dates filled automatically. No extra cost is added from our side!

\r\nWe simplified plans creation, now you don't have to set percents of activities - it's enough to just choose them, and Anuran will start recommending.

\r\nWe also implemented a mechanism of public pages - shareable accounts for business and bloggers. Here is an example of one of our good old bloggers:

\r\nEchoes of Horizons - blogger's page

\r\nPublic pages are free and available to any registered user on their account page. Yes, your public page and your personal account can exist separately.

\r\nFrom now on you can create trip plans without dates, which is convenient when you didn't decide on your vacation time yet, but want to start planning already.

\r\nWe covered Bangkok! Indeed, attractions, checklist, trip plans with estimated costs - everything is ready for your next vacation!

\r\nWe continue upgrading interface: Weather, Apps and Checklist applications became way more convenient with bigger buttons and contrast UI, especially, for smartphones.

\r\nMinor improvements:
\r\n - Operations related to e-mail sending from Anuran (registration, verification) are speeded up
\r\n - Error with circuit search using previous destination is fixed
\r\n - Attraction editing interface was improved (whitespaces auto trim in names, action buttons moved below the contacts)

We started a dramatic user interface upgrade. It'll take several months, and we're going to improve Anuran page-by-page. As of today, we finished Account and Moods, and worked on color palette all over the website - check it out! Report any errors/inconveniences you met, we'll make them disappear.

We also dropped attraction rating functionality, as we adapt to each user, instead of providing boring mass-average recommendations.

We covered Hong Kong with content, including ready trip plans! We also updated the existing plans for Mauritius, setting clear budgets for them - all to help you calculate vacation costs more precisely.

Minor improvements and fixes:
- Loading animation added
- Attraction owners don't need to set coordinates manually anymore, they are detected automatically
- Photos view became responsive for your device size
- \"About\" main menu button is moved to the footer as it's not so often needed
- Some attraction kinds were dropped, while new ones were added, according to attraction vendor requests

\r\nNow, you can see weather forecasts for your current location and for your plan destination. Forecasts are available 5 days upfront, with temperature, wind speed, rain, snow and thunderstorm notifications. Profile and Mood buttons were improved - they became way more ergonomic, usable, but short.\r\nWe also developed a localization system and translated most of the website to French language. More comes at this item!

\r\nAmong other improvements we have:
Smartphone app URLs for Google Play and App Store are now validated before saving, preventing mistakes.
On Sign Up (not Sign In, only Sign Up), users are supposed to pass CAPTCHA.
The bug with attraction descriptions shortened to just several words during search is now fixed, so you can study the attraction description without opening its page.

\r\n\r\nThe newest \"Checklists\" app allows you to create TO-DO list for your trip plan not to forget anything. But! It's not an ordinary list, as you can include into it default trip TO-DOs, like \"take documents\", \"check visa requirements\" instead of writing each of them manually! In addition to this, we added a default list for Mauritius, with TO-DOs actual only on the island and known by very few people!

\r\n\r\nSeveral style and UI improvements were made. Searching attractions is now made in a form of a dialog, reducing the amount of actions needed to change the search radius. Circuits are now connected to the original plans, which allows to republish an existing circuit (instead of creating a new one, as it was in the past).

\nA new \"Applications\" functionality, both for the Assistant and the Planner, was implemented. Now you can not only find attractions, but also smartphone apps useful in the chosen destination! Those apps allow to solve a lot of questions, starting with car rental and pizza delivery, and finishing with local radio. We already covered the app with content for Mauritius, you are welcome to try!

\nSeveral interface improvements happened: now you can move the entire plan days, rearranging your trip with a couple of taps; Anuran news subscription is done by just one checkbox; plans are now getting generated names, not requesting you to name each manually; plus, some other improvements.

\nAlso, our Circuits functionality is now getting covered by content, as we are proposing you complete trip plans for Mauritius. No hustle, no planning, just find a fitting plan on Anuran dashboard and follow it!

Less actions, less complications, less efforts spent on organizing vacation!

\nAnother significant item is that Anuran pages loading speed is 3 times increased! We also made user interface improvements in dialogs of the Survey, improved the Plan page and increased overall service readability.

Any user is now able to create their own attractions and claim the existing ones - in order to be able to edit them. With this, the service becomes useful not only for tourists, but for vendors as well, allowing them to manage their businesses on Anuran. Newly created attractions can be saved as drafts or published immediately.

At the bottom of the dashboard, you can now find the button \"My Business\", which lists all the entities you own (created or claimed) on Anuran.

Plus to the Properties functionality, two new features come:

\nThe next big stage of development is providing users with abilities to publish and search trip plans published by others. This functionality is supposed to significantly simplify planning a voyage, by providing templates and sometimes complete plans.

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Functionality\r\n
\r\n
\r\n The first version of the service includes the following features:\r\n
\r\n \r\n
\r\n Content\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Anuran launches with a small piece of content, which includes 7 cities of\r\n Mauritius and ~150 attractions located in them, which is enough\r\n to plan an unforgettable journey to Mauritius!\r\n

\r\n Next Step\r\n
\r\n
\r\n During the next several months it's planned to improve functionality of the\r\n Planner, Attractions and Assistant systems, and implement functionality of Moods -\r\n sets of preferences, which can be attached to a user account and be used for a\r\n better attractions (and other future entities) search.\r\n
