Beta Hub: Phases and Missions
How the four-phase beta journey works and how missions get verified.
The four phases
Your Beta Hub at /beta-hub is split into four self-paced phases. You can move through them in any order, but the rewards step expects all four done by June 15, 2026.
| Phase | What it's about |
|---|---|
| 1 · Set up | Connect a social account, finish onboarding, get familiar with the app. |
| 2 · Publish | Save an article from Discover, build a Source Page, publish a post. |
| 3 · Engage | Try the Gym, use the Engage inbox, explore Projects. |
| 4 · Wrap | Submit a bug or feature request, complete the closing survey, record your final testimonial, and tell us your shirt size. |
How missions get verified
Most missions auto-verify based on what you do in the app. Fervae watches for the action and ticks the box for you. For example, "publish a post" ticks when a post enters the published state, so you don't need to mark it done yourself.
Testimonials, surveys, and shirt info are the exceptions, since they need you to submit something explicit.
Testimonials
Each phase asks for a short testimonial. You can record a 60-second video (right in your browser, no upload) or type a short paragraph. Both work. Either way, your story is what helps Fervae improve and what helps other scientists understand what we built.
Bug reports + feature requests
Two dedicated forms inside the Beta Hub. Bug reports auto-detect your browser, OS, and screen size, so you don't have to dig those up. Feature requests let you pick a category so we can sort and prioritize.
Messages
The Beta Hub has a private message thread for each tester. Use it for questions, context, or anything that doesn't fit a bug report. Raven and the team see every message.
