- officebit has a home of its own: officebit.town, with the town right on the front page.
- Buses! Eight stops round town, by the office, the shop, the school and people's homes, running both ways (stopping on either side of the road): hourly and a night bus too. Hop on to get across town, or walk if you'd rather. Add your own stops in the editor.
- Billboards by the highway and a poster at the bus stop, in glorious pixels. Tap one to see what it's for.
- Already have a town? Crews come to put up what's new, like the billboards. Nothing of yours gets moved.
- New here? A little welcome, and a ? to find it again.
- Jumping ahead is much quicker: a hundred days in under two minutes.
- Tidier roads: kerbs round the ends of closes, and cars that keep to the road and to their own lane, go round turning circles and give way at junctions.
- Steering someone? Tap a door, the stairs or a building and they go through.
- The diner and the shop open on time: staff no longer dither on the way in.

- Friends make plans: frisbee and picnics on the Green, catching up at the diner, or a meal for three or four round one table.
- Co-founders get their laptops out together, in a diner booth or on a park bench.
- Startups can have good weeks and bad ones. They hire when they're doing well, and some close. Their people go back to their old jobs, or try again.
- Cars come in off any road for a drive round town, not just to stop and charge.
- Food trucks drive into town from any road and pull up by the pavement.
- People give way to each other and step aside to pass. No more walking through each other.
- Spot a friend across the street? People hurry to catch them up for a chat.
- A quicker town: bigger towns run smoothly, ready for more people to move in.
- Play full screen, or add officebit to your home screen as an app.
