What's New

Driver (Drivestr)

  • Per-follower mute — silence individual followers without rotating your RoadFlare key or affecting your other followers.
  • Ride request pings — receive a heads-up notification when one of your followers wants you to come online for a ride.

Rider (Ridestr)

  • Reorder payment methods — drag to set your preferred payment order; drivers can now see compatibility at a glance.
  • Accurate fiat fares — fare amounts now match exactly between rider and driver (no more ~$1 drift from independent BTC price conversions).
  • Better address search — improved geocoding with location-aware suggestions and privacy rounding.
  • Easier driver sharing — share roadflare.app profile links instead of raw npubs.

Bug Fixes

  • Correct app icons — fixed the rider app shipping with the driver's steering-wheel logo.
  • Ride stability — fixed $0 fare bug, false "driver unavailable" alarms, phantom cancellations, and a class of race conditions in the offer/acceptance flow.
  • RoadFlare reliability — auto-sync followers on startup, longer-lived key shares, better follow-notification handling, and fixes for stale key edge cases.
  • Many smaller UI and stability improvements.
