What's New

The Arcade Link landing page now explains why streaming complexity hurts, and how Arcade-Verse compares to a traditional OBS setup.

• Problem section: New section describes what happens when streaming stays complicated — wasted time, dropped viewers, missed go-lives — without mentioning the product, so the message stays emotional and clear.
• With vs Without (OBS): Side-by-side comparison of Arcade-Verse / Arcade Link vs a traditional OBS setup: one-click streaming, no encoder config, and optional desktop client vs install-and-configure workflows.

Recordings tab, multistream target limits by plan, feedback limits on the board, and clearer billing and plan comparison across the app.

• Creator Recordings: Recordings tab shows Livepeer-hosted VODs from your streams. Watch or copy the link; delete to free a slot. Pro: 10 slots, Premium: 25.
• Multistream & feedback limits: Pro: 1 multistream target; Premium: 2. Feedback submission limits are shown on the board (Free 3, Pro 5, Premium unlimited).
• Billing & plan comparison: Billing page shows period end and when plan changes take effect. Go Pro vs Premium table added to both Billing and Pricing.

Payments and top-ups are now more resilient to retries, and we've improved how we track revenue for better analytics.

• Payment reliability: Subscription and top-up credits are applied exactly once even when webhooks retry, so you never get double-charged or miss credits.
• Revenue attribution: Payments and refunds are tracked for analytics with visitor attribution, including renewals when possible.
• Smoother upgrades: Checkout now remembers your session for better attribution on future renewals.

A critical update resolving runtime compatibility issues between Appwrite and Bun. We've refactored our database initialization to be fully idempotent and reliable.

• Bun Runtime Fixes: Resolved 'instanceof' crashes by refactoring Appwrite query logic to be compatible with Next.js/Bun dev environments.
• Idempotent Database Setup: Implemented a robust 'Check-then-Create' pattern for all collections (User, Feedback, Live) to prevent initialization errors.
• Dependency Updates: Updated Next.js to 15.5.11 and Appwrite SDKs for improved stability and performance.

A major under-the-hood upgrade. We've migrated our entire runtime to Bun for blazingly fast response times and improved our billing synchronization logic.

• Bun Runtime Migration: Switched from Node.js to Bun, resulting in faster server startups and snappier API responses.
• Billing Synchronization: Enhanced logic to handle plan downgrades and mid-cycle changes with precision.
• Emulator Maintenance: The emulator is currently undergoing a major engine upgrade and is temporarily offline to ensure the best future experience.

A massive update focusing on stability, billing reliability, and streamer tools. We've completely overhauled our webhook system and payment processing.

• Robust Billing System: Separated Polar billing and Livepeer logic to ensure plans are updated instantly and correctly every time.
• Smart Usage Tracking: Implemented server-side streaming limits with auto-cutoff to protect your allowance.
• Real-time Dashboard: Added a 'Live Countdown' timer and Plan badges to the creator dashboard.
• Bug Fixes: Resolved race conditions in database setup and usage reporting.
