Milestone Two: Build 8 Is Here, and It’s a Big One

May 4, 2025 · 2 min read ·

We’ve officially reached Build 8 — our second milestone — and Tavrn is starting to feel like a real platform. This post covers our new server system, real-time messaging, roles, settings, and a few things we’re still keeping under wraps (👀).

We’ve been quiet… because we’ve been building.
And now, we’re proud to say — Tavrn has officially hit Build 8, our second milestone.

This one’s a big deal.

What’s New in Build 8?

After a full system reset not too long ago, we’ve been sprinting toward one of the most important parts of any chat app: servers.

And now? They’re finally working.
Mostly.

✅ Real-time messages
✅ Roles and permissions
✅ Server-wide settings
✅ Channels that actually channel

This marks the first time Tavrn feels like a platform (to me atleast), not just a prototype.

This Changes Everything

With the server system online, Tavrn moves from “messaging app” to full-fledged community space.
It’s no longer just about DMs — it’s about how people come together.

Roles let communities self-moderate.
Settings help personalize and protect.
Channels give you space to spread out (without overwhelming your screen).
And the real-time system? It’s buttery smooth.

Of course, we’re still ironing out a few things — but this is the moment we’ve been working toward.

There’s More. But We’re Not Telling… Yet 👀

We’ll be honest — Build 8 isn’t just about what’s been revealed.
There are other things in the works.
Little details. Big features.
Stuff we’re keeping under wraps for now (wink wink).

But if Build 8 is this solid already?
Just wait for Build 9.

Thanks for Sticking With Us

We’re moving fast, and we’re not stopping.
Tavrn is being built piece by piece — with intent, care, and a little bit of chaos.
And with Build 8 in the books, we’re closer than ever to opening the doors for real.

Stay tuned.
It’s only going to get wilder from here.
