Partner News: Our Cat Herder Launches Version 2.0
Published on Monday, 30 June 2025
After more than a decade of continuous improvements, Our Cat Herder is preparing to roll out its most significant upgrade yet. Version 2.0 will officially launch on Sunday, 6 July 2025—marking a complete ground-up rebuild of the platform that supports thousands of board members and their board across Australia.
The update represents more than 150,000 lines of code rewritten to improve performance, future-proof the system, and deliver a vastly enhanced user experience. While the existing platform has served users reliably since 2013, the team behind Our Cat Herder saw the need for a foundational overhaul to keep pace with modern board governance needs.
Why now?
The rebuild enables adoption of cutting-edge technologies and infrastructure that weren't possible within the constraints of the legacy system. The result is a faster, more reliable, and more intuitive experience—setting the stage for accelerated feature development in the months and years ahead.
Among the 100+ improvements coming in Version 2.0:
- A refreshed interface with a streamlined UX
- A new Minute Taker tool
- Support for profile pictures
- Enhanced attendance stats and reporting
What’s staying the same?
The transition will be seamless for users—no manual migration or re-training needed. Existing logins and data will continue to work, with users simply logging in as usual post-launch to enjoy the new version. Importantly, there will be no changes to pricing!
