Players whose ideas turned into shipped features.

OUTLIER wouldn't be what it is without the people below. Every one of them sent an email, filed a bug, or pointed out something that mattered - and OUTLIER changed because of it. This page is how we say thank you, on the record, publicly, permanently.

The credit here is for ideas that shipped. A fix that reached every player, a mechanic that became a board type, a doc gap filled. When your feedback lands on this page, it's because something on the site is different because of you.

  • Copse and Sequoia board typesAugust 24, 2026

    Proposed the two new terrains and their mechanics. Copse pairs three or four consonants; Sequoia repeats one to three letters three or four times. Both now run weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays and rotate into the Live pool.

  • Captured % explainerAugust 22, 2026

    Asked what the 'Captured X% of today's Outlier' line on the results page meant. It was on the page with no context; the FAQ now has an entry that answers it directly.

  • Country leaderboard identity fixAugust 22, 2026

    Reported that navigating from another player's profile to a country leaderboard put the YOU chip on both that player and the viewer. The chip now only marks the actual viewer; the row you came from still auto-opens.

  • Louder Encore revealAugust 17, 2026

    Asked for a clearer signal when a submitted word was an Encore repeat. The small ENCORE tag on the floating overlay was easy to skim past, so it grew into an oxblood banner with the tax spelled out ('was +N').

  • Self-delete actually deletesAugust 17, 2026

    Reported that deleting her account did nothing because signing back in silently un-deleted the row. The delete route now detaches the auth identity, so a self-delete stays deleted and the next sign-in mints a fresh account.
