Some updates and new features available on Catchar 🔥

• Be informed that we rescheduled our weekly AR/MR digest to Tuesday.
• In addition, I would like to let you know that we released the instant post feature ↙️

This feature is only available for our creators and companies. Upgrade to company or creator role to start sharing. If you are one of them post information only about AR/MR domains otherwise you’ll be muted! Feel free to post related to AR/MR news, tutorials, guides, tips from Medium, TechCrunch, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn or private blogs. Please don’t promote yourself too much 😉

• We continue working in terms of improving our SEO results, social and direct marketing. As a result, we have reached 350 unique visitors per day. Don’t miss the chance to showcase your AR/MR projects, articles and other updates.

We continue actively working on our social media channels. More and more Community Leaders are joining us to support your Augmented and Mixed Reality apps, lenses and campaigns. Don’t forget to follow our Twitter, like our Facebook or subscribe to the YouTube channel.
