Deprecated classes will soon be fully removed

Hey everybody!

Way back in the day, we had a different version of classes than the one you know now. In that old version of classes, students would select their name from a list rather than authenticating in with Google or email.

We deprecated the old version of classes on August 4th, 2020 but still kept supporting them with all the changes we've made since then.

We're now in our second school year since those old classes were a thing & continuing to support them means we're having to dedicate more engineering resources.

It's been over a year, and just about everyone has made a shift over to the classes you know today. Because of that, we'll be fully dropping support for older deprecated classes in the coming weeks.

If you're using classes and your students log in with Google or email, nothing will change for you. But if you're using classes where students pick their name from a list, these classes will be fully removed from Gimkit in a little bit.

If you have any questions or concerns, just let us know. Email us any time at hello@gimkit.com.

Thanks, everybody! I can't wait to share with you some of our greatest updates ever in a little bit!
