Published releases
We are thrilled to announce the official beta launch of Batchbro! Our platform is now live for Mathura, offering a comprehensive directory of tutors, schools, and coaching centres. This beta release focuses on core search functionalities, detailed profiles, and early community feedback as we work to bring the best educational resources to parents and students.
In this update, we enhanced the teacher application process by adding an option for applicants to submit a link to their CV or resume. This allows for better verification and a more comprehensive profile review in the Admin Panel. We've also addressed critical application crashes by wrapping all major server actions and database operations in robust try-catch blocks to handle network instability. Finally, we've significantly expanded our educational blog section with five extensive new guides covering exam preparation, hybrid learning, and mental health support for students in Mathura.
This update fixes an issue where the teacher profile page would not immediately recognize a user's logged-in state after authenticating, causing action buttons to incorrectly prompt for login. We also upgraded the review form by replacing the standard dropdown menu with an interactive, clickable star rating interface for a much better user experience.
In this update, we resolved a critical bug regarding account creation where parents were unable to post reviews. We've streamlined the account system so that all new signups default to Parent accounts, and parents can seamlessly apply for Teacher accounts while retaining review privileges. Additionally, we fixed an issue with the location selector on mobile devices that prevented the native dropdown from functioning, replacing it with a fully custom mobile-friendly selector.
In this update, we focused heavily on mobile usability and platform speed. We overhauled the mobile header navigation, moving the scrollable links (Tutors, Coaching, Schools, Blog, About) to a dedicated secondary row on small screens to prevent the UI from becoming cramped. We also resolved a bug where the Location Prompt Banner would fail to appear in private browsing modes by fixing its initial state rendering. Under the hood, we've implemented dynamic lazy-loading for several heavy components and modals, significantly reducing the initial bundle size and speeding up the platform's time-to-interactive. Finally, we resolved various caching and React hydration stability issues.
This major update enhances the platform's visual polish and performance. We introduced a premium branded skeleton loading system using warm cream/tan colors (#EDE0D0, #F5EBDD) matching Batchbro's identity, replacing all loading placeholder text to resolve existing visual bugs in the hero and CTA segments. We integrated Next.js App Router Suspense skeleton loaders for browse, coaching, schools, and profiles. Additionally, we implemented a client-side geolocation prompt banner and automatic proximity reordering of listings by same area/adjacent areas. The teacher application form has been rebuilt as a 4-step wizard with real-time phone/email checks and draft recovery persistence via localStorage. Lastly, we posted two new Mathura education guide blog articles.
This release introduces a major upgrade to Batchbro's local search presence and user experience. We have added dedicated SEO landers for Mathura and subject pages, launched our official Mathura education guide blog, fully optimized meta tags across all core routes, and upgraded the XML sitemap. Additionally, the teacher search card interface has been redesigned to align with our premium design standard, incorporating Outfit and Fraunces typography, custom avatar frames, and high-fidelity transitions.
We've reworked the entire backend to be more effective and cleaner. We've also enhanced the frontend.
