Patches · shipped in public
Every meaningful update to AI Playlist, the pitch platform and the live radio gets a permanent record here.
New features, improvements and fixes — newest first. No vague roadmap promises; this is what actually shipped.
Artist verification
Admin sends artist decisions through the dedicated review identity, so submitted applications can continue through verification and the existing email flow.
Artist review
Admin now reads verification applications from APR Rewards, with artist links, submitted evidence and a short reason for each decision.
Report controls
The report window now keeps its close control discreet and its PDF link free from emoji rendering on iPhone.
Master Report
Admin Overview can now generate a branded Master Report with audience trends, purchases, artists, playlists, campaigns and operations from one dated snapshot.
Listener trends
Admin Overview now compares estimated unique listeners over 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, with returning listeners, daily history and the highest observed simultaneous audience.
Roadmap alignment
The complete Participation Roadmap now keeps deliberate line breaks and one shared mobile alignment.
Roadmap model cards
The listener and Signal Operator models now keep the roadmap's dark visual language, readable hierarchy and compact mobile rhythm.
Participation Roadmap restored
The public roadmap once again explains artists, verified listeners and APR Signal Operators without returning to checklist design.
Roadmap on mobile
The Participation Roadmap now answers the only three questions that matter: what is live, what is being built and what cannot launch yet.
Jingle Intelligence 2.0
Ordinary, fallback and top-of-hour carts now share one verified track boundary, one operator offset and one persistent playout lock. Fast skips replace a pending cart instead of building a queue.
Participation Roadmap
A complete editorial and visual rebuild turns a technical planning page into a clear public story about what is live, what is being built and what must remain gated.
Roadmap discovery
The existing participation roadmap is no longer hidden behind Tokenomics: it now has a direct, language-aware place in the shared AI Playlist navigation.
APR participation roadmap
APR now separates what is complete, what is being designed and every gate required before listeners or Signal Operators can receive transferable tokens.
Verified control
APR Radio Control now owns its exact local address, identifies itself on every health check and prevents unrelated local services from becoming admin data.
Stable mobile scale
Every mobile text field now uses iOS-safe sizing, so choosing an artist and track no longer leaves the next step enlarged.
Compact first view
The sales headline and search rhythm are tighter, and pricing now waits until a track is selected, while the four review cards keep their full spacing.
Pixel rhythm
The mobile review footer now carries the same measured breathing room beneath each name as the text has from the card sides.
Scrollable proof
Pitch keeps the page fixed and turns only the review area into a quiet vertical scroll surface with no visible scrollbar.
Desktop correction
Desktop Pitch places the large search first and the three latest verified reviews in one balanced row beneath it, while mobile keeps the vertical stack.
Mobile proof
Mobile Pitch keeps the large artist search and places the three latest verified reviews in one clean vertical stack beneath it.
Mobile correction
Pitch now gives the artist search proper mobile weight and keeps one complete, restrained review beneath it — without clipped cards or page scroll.
One first view
The first Pitch screen is now one fixed, focused viewport: a large artist and track search with a smaller verified review directly beneath it.
Proof before the scroll
Pitch V4 places verified artist experiences beside the track search on desktop and directly below it on mobile, without making the first step feel crowded.
Pitch stays in place
Artists first find the right track, then complete the pitch in the same mobile viewport. Admin revenue also keeps its last confirmed snapshot through temporary analytics failures.
Free means free
The campaign-code control now belongs only to paid Super Pitch, and the selected-track badge renders reliably on iPhone.
The ticker is explicit
The artist-generation tag now uses the approved $APR ticker while keeping its live total and embedded Rewards navigation.
Rewards stays inside the radio
Artist Rewards now opens in the radio's own page surface instead of creating a separate browser tab.
APR reaches the artists
The subtle APR Rewards tag now leads with the live total and makes clear that the APR was generated to artists.
A little more room
The All pages control regains its wider shape and the APR Rewards tag sits clear of the iPhone edge.
A calmer, accountable radio
The listener now presents only factual radio context, a daily APR Rewards tag and a like action that survives real mobile track transitions.
Business data reaches mobile
Revenue and new contacts now use a neutral private data route that content blockers do not mistake for advertising telemetry.
Ready mailings in one place
Campaign, monthly and Christmas mailings now live in one restrained library with private previews and copy-ready text.
The installed admin stays current
The installed radio now opens the admin version that belongs to its current app shell instead of reusing an older Business view left in memory.
Business sees the gap
The Business view compares commercial growth with the unique contacts entering through every pitch, using the same 7-day, 30-day and all-time control.
The room follows the record
The background atmosphere keeps its music-reactive movement, but borrows a restrained tint from the current track artwork and sits farther behind the player.
Radio starts cleanly
The native player keeps one stream while listening, but a real app-shell restart now opens a fresh AVPlayer item instead of reusing a dead one.
One player, one living signal
Every listener keeps one audio player while the line follows either that device's rendered sound or a passive broadcast meter aligned to its own playhead.
Verified means the track
Proof of Airplay resolves artwork from the exact Spotify track identity before it creates the share card.
Your device draws the signal
The line may only move from audio measured inside the player on the device in front of you. The central broadcast meter is no longer a visual source.
Living Signal listens
Bass, mids and treble shape Living Signal directly from left to right. Its old free-running motion no longer speaks over the sound.
One CarPlay audio session
Safari and the Home Screen app no longer start a silent Web Audio session beside the radio. CarPlay owns the direct stream alone.
CarPlay stays direct
On iPhone, the audible radio stream remains directly owned by Safari and CarPlay while Living Signal follows a passive, time-aligned meter.
APR Token identity
The official token identity, verified contract, fixed supply, Genesis Safe, whitepaper and public logo now tell one consistent story—without pretending that a market is already open.
One fixed radio view
The listening surface now stays locked to the visible window on desktop, mobile web and installed apps.
Clean interaction
The listening surface no longer shows focus rings, text selection or touch highlights.
The artist comes first
APR Artist discovery is rebuilt around the artist profile, a private reward reveal and one clear journey from recognition to wallet.
Rendered audio stays primary
The single Living Signal follows the audio rendered on the listener's device and opens the server meter only after the local path is demonstrably unavailable or stale.
A coded sign-off
The campaign invitation keeps its deliberately human oddness as a small campaign-room.js sign-off in the footer instead of becoming another ordinary card.
Campaign invitation refined
The loose handwritten arrow at the bottom of the homepage is replaced by a compact campaign card that belongs to the same visual system as the rest of AI Playlist.
Now Playing catches the track
A brief macOS MediaRemote miss now recovers quickly instead of holding the previous song for thirty seconds. The accompanying native build gives each track a stable Now Playing identity.
Living Signal, local and lighter
The native iPhone app now drives the single Living Signal from rendered playback when available, keeps one meter path active and avoids empty display-refresh wake-ups.
iOS metadata handoff tightened
iOS receives the current title, artist and playback state immediately at a track change; the exact cover follows separately when ready.
Revenue hierarchy refined
The SEK total leads with a smaller currency code, while the USD total sits clearly below it.
Revenue comes first
Revenue is the clear lead number, supported by a period trend instead of a wall of equal-weight metrics.
Campaign language corrected
The seasonal radio-menu invitation now reads Summer Campaign in English while keeping Sommarkampanj in Swedish.
One title per view
To do, Radio and Content now move directly from the compact operator title into the work itself.
Business, rebuilt
Admin Business has been remade around the shared status cards and work-queue hierarchy used by Overview, To do and Radio.
Living Signal, locked
Living Signal now reaches the live edge instead of trailing behind the radio, gives audible transients the lead and returns from a thumb pull with a firmer snap.
Living Signal, closer
Living Signal now moves through the iPhone meter's 40 ms steps instead of jumping between them, while a released thumb bend returns with a quicker, lightly elastic snap.
Logo delivery restored
The public header logo now ships from the release itself instead of depending on files outside the packaged web artifact.
Like through track changes
The radio now preserves the exact visible song for a short, bounded handoff when its metadata changes a few seconds before the buffered audio.
Sommarkampanj
The radio menu promotion is now simply named Sommarkampanj in both languages and retires automatically after 30 September in Stockholm.
Pitch review dates
Artist reviews on the Pitch page now show the exact calendar day and full month instead of a month-and-year label.
Open jury signal
Campaign Room now has one deliberate place in the radio menu: visually distinct enough to feel current, restrained enough to preserve the system around it.
Campaign Room, one gesture
The Campaign Room now opens directly on the finished work, removes its duplicate app header and turns one asset tap into the campaign vote — with sharing as the only remaining action.
Dialogue-safe story return
The Last Broadcast no longer lets the returning song crowd its late dialogue. The three-second cue is now truly three seconds, the song stays a quiet hint beneath the final words and blooms to full level only after the episode ends.
Business command center
Admin Business is rebuilt as a mobile decision cockpit: recent sales, reconciled money, checkout friction, conversion and campaign truth now tell one coherent story without exposing artist or customer data.
Wider seam control
The Admin seam dial now spans ten seconds around the predicted Spotify transition while keeping its exact quarter-second steps. The wider range changes only the operator-selected start point; the protected fallback and the separate hourly story remain intact.
Native volume lock
The native app no longer opens a silent Web Audio session beside AVPlayer. Track changes keep one audio-session owner, so the iOS volume control and the audible radio cannot drift apart.
The Campaign Room
A handwritten door on the homepage now leads to 20 finished campaign assets where visitors can vote, choose one image or film to share and receive a real $10 Super Pitch code.
Living Signal Sync
The iPhone app now measures playback from the moment its native player really starts, keeps an old buffer estimate from overruling that clock, and gives the music a calmer, faster 40 ms visual response.
Spotify Seam Dial
Admin's ±1.5-second control is now a real seam offset for every ordinary cart. It moves only the start point around the predicted transition and never restores full-cart duration fitting inside the outgoing song.
Like button restored
The radio was still recording listener votes, but a later web release had dropped the visible acknowledgement. The like and dislike controls now answer immediately and leave cleanly once the choice is saved.
Artist Trust Flow
APR Artist now presents one clear four-step claim journey, keeps wallet sign-in locked until the current account is approved and puts the actual proof result first.
Real Boundary Lock
The remaining duration-fit route could deliberately start a medium or long cart well before the next track. V4.5 now waits for the confirmed Spotify identity change for every ordinary cart.
Three-second handoff
The hourly story now keeps the music bed fully down until exactly three seconds remain, then fades the song in behind the ending instead of masking it too early.
The Last Broadcast
The special bank now carries a five-part post-apocalyptic radio story. One episode plays at each new hour in fixed narrative order, then the series starts again from episode one.
Artist email handoff
The public APR search now carries the selected artist straight into the new email-and-password journey. The retired Google sign-in route is no longer part of the artist handoff.
Signal Reply
Physical iPhone diagnostics showed that taps reached the buttons and the first vote was saved, but the visual acknowledgement was not reliably painted. Every tap now explicitly wakes the canvas, receives a dedicated rendered frame and stays entirely inside the living signal.
Signal Tap Lock
The native radio was listening for an early pointer event and cancelling the click iOS normally delivers to a button. Votes now use the standard WebView activation path, stay touchable while a save is pending and send every deliberate tap straight into the living signal.
Track Cover Lock
The native player could receive the source playlist cover while the current track artwork was still resolving. Now Playing now waits briefly for the real song cover and never substitutes playlist artwork.
Instant Signal
Removing the retired vote animation exposed an older lock that also disabled both controls after a saved vote. The controls are responsive again, while the installed radio now paints its saved theme and cached shell immediately instead of waiting behind a white network load.
Sample Clock
Native delay calibration was correct but the lightweight meter frames could arrive at the iPhone in network bursts. The signal now reconstructs their original 80 ms sample timeline instead of treating an entire burst as one instant.
Native Signal Lock
Native playback no longer pretends to share the web player’s clock. The visual meter follows AVPlayer timing, while the already installed app calibrates itself from the real time it takes playback to begin.
Living Signal 2.1
Living Signal is more immediate under a finger and aligns its lightweight iPhone meter with the audio that has actually reached the listener's playback buffer.
Playlist taxonomy
Newly synced country and regional playlists no longer fall through to the generic Genre / theme label. The complete public catalog now follows one maintained classification rule.
Rating and review clarity
Artists can still leave stars without writing a comment. Every valid rating contributes to the public score, while only meaningful written feedback is displayed or quoted.
Written review policy
Artist ratings without an actual written comment are now kept out of every public review surface and every marketing use.
Release Ledger
The public changelog now reads like a compact release journal: easy to scan, calm on the eyes and detailed only when you ask for it.
Living Signal
Equalizer V2.0 replaces four competing curves with one artwork-aware signal that breathes with the music, responds to deliberate touch and always dissolves before the screen edge.
Conversion truth
APR Admin now follows the complete Free Pitch email journey through to a verified Super Pitch purchase, under one named and measurable conversion effort.
Free Pitch follow-through
Free Pitch confirmation email now gives artists a focused, honest path to the complete Super Pitch review without weakening the free editorial promise.
Jingle timing control
APR's V4.5 timing layer now starts from an earlier calibrated position, gives trusted short IDs a tightly bounded pre-seam window and lets the operator fine-tune the result live.
Playlist reach
AI Playlist now presents the real follower footprint as part of the discovery experience, while Free Pitch and Super Pitch keep their promises clearly separated.
APR Artist access
APR Artist now starts with a real-time search across verified radio history and carries the selected artist through identity review to the existing secure wallet.
Pitch approval restored
The Pitch 2.0 best-network-fit flow no longer leaves Admin without a selectable playlist.
Verified Play refined
Verified Play has been polished by removing visual noise rather than adding another layer of design.
Verified sharing, corrected
Verified Play has been tightened for one-screen mobile use: no decorative emoji arrow, no blue browser rings and no oversized stacked controls. TikTok now receives an actual vertical MP4.
Verified sharing polish
The loved Proof of Airplay sheet keeps its identity but gains a calmer finish, platform-ready formats and honest fallbacks for the social apps that cannot accept a direct web post.
Shared mobile identity
The exact APR mark replaces changing page labels across the radio's embedded public views, while the Super Pitch card keeps its price and trust copy composed on mobile.
Mobile clarity polish
A wider, calmer typeface makes APR's message legible inside compact link previews, while the homepage header now spans the full mobile viewport.
Homepage sharing identity
A new APR share card and clearer native share text now carry the calmer homepage identity into Messages, social apps and link previews.
APR homepage clarity
A calmer mobile-first homepage now explains AI Playlist in seconds, leads listeners straight to the live radio and gives artists one clear route to an honest human review.
APR network link repair
Permanent playlist routes, backward-compatible redirects and a complete shared network footer now keep discovery paths connected across English and Swedish pages.
Clear pitch placement feedback
Approval now separates the artist's playlist suggestions from the curator's confirmed placement and includes the final playlist or playlists in the decision email.
Super Pitch purchase confidence
A clear money-back promise and a restrained payment rail now remove risk beside the Super Pitch action without turning the product page into a wall of logos.
Pitch 2.5 conversion polish
A warmer mobile-first product surface, calmer spacing and compact confidence cues now guide artists from the 24-hour promise to track selection and secure checkout without adding another step.
APR network analytics
One Google Analytics 4 property now measures every APR page and subdomain as one journey, including the complete Super Pitch purchase funnel.
Pitch 2.4 product focus
The complete review, price and Spotify search now sit inside one subtle product frame, while a quiet value bridge leads directly into everything already included — without adding a field or another checkout action.
Pitch 2.3 live Spotify search
Pitch now finds Spotify tracks while the artist types, so the right song can be selected without a separate search step. A pasted Spotify link still opens the same verified path.
Pitch 2.0 visual edition
Pitch 2.0 now feels like a living music product while keeping the same short Free-first path: richer editorial typography, real playlist artwork, a live on-air module and a concrete Super Pitch scorecard preview.
Pitch 2.0 conversion test
Pitch 2.0 makes track submissions mobile-first and significantly faster. Free Pitch comes first, the Spotify link is the starting point, and only an email is required after import.
Admin 3.1 canonical release
The radio's existing Admin button now opens Admin 3.1 directly. The preview address remains compatible, but operators no longer land in the retired interface.
Admin 3.1 mobile refinement
APR Admin now uses the iPhone screen more deliberately: the oversized overview statement is gone, the header reaches both edges and the important controls stay readable without covering the work.
Admin 3.0 preview
APR's new admin preview replaces the endless control page with focused workspaces for decisions, radio, content, business and system status — without removing the proven admin fallback.
Smart Jingle Engine V2
APR now preserves a verified local transition clock when Spotify republishes the same playing track with an incorrect near-zero elapsed time.
Smart Jingle Engine V2
Ordinary jingles are now prepared ahead of Spotify Mix transitions so the station voice can mask the handover instead of arriving after it.
Smart Jingle Engine V2
APR now holds the music bed near three percent through the first 70 percent of a jingle, then restores the song progressively across its final 30 percent.
Smart Jingle Engine V2
Long station promos now receive their own broadcast mix: less song bass beneath the voice, stronger dynamic ducking and preserved musical flow.
Admin V2.0
APR's mobile admin has been rebuilt around a compact live overview, remembered workspaces and collapsible modules without removing any operational control.
Pitch and catalogue integrity
Super Pitch now survives cancelled returns and delayed confirmations, while every approved AI Playlist title and cover is refreshed from Spotify without replacing good data on a temporary failure.
Radio Facts
The radio now keeps the complete fact and voice library in every cycle, randomizes the order and reshuffles only after every message has had its turn.
Radio Facts
Every track rotation now includes at least one message from the recovered beta voice, and installed radio apps fetch the current version on their first open.
The signal speaks
The live fact rotation now mixes verified track data with the missing beta notes, listener prompts and sharper pieces of the station’s personality.
Meaningful heat
Hot Tracks no longer treats one like from one play as the same perfect signal as repeated listener approval.
Chart data integrity
Genre charts now receive the correct live candidates for plays, likes, heat and new discoveries instead of inheriting an incomplete global shortlist.
Embedded navigation
The AI Playlist front page now removes its own header only when it opens inside the radio's persistent page overlay.
Public signal metrics
AI Playlist's public overview now replaces a generic network count with live radio streams, listener likes and APR generated from their real source systems.
Navigation clarity
Whitepaper remains published and shareable, but no longer duplicates APR Token as a separate destination in the public All Pages menu.
Admin data integrity
The Artist layer in admin now reads claims and APR balances from the live APR Rewards ledger, while tips are counted only from unique verified Base receipts.
Commercial focus
The All Pages menu now gives Pitch a distinct, inviting signal-green treatment that guides artists toward the network's most important commercial action without turning the interface into an advertisement.
Public navigation
The installed radio now keeps its complete public network menu across fresh and cached PWA launches, with Distribution and APR Wallet added without exposing private control surfaces.
Installed radio experience
The installed iOS Home Screen radio has regained its complete network menu, while public audience metrics can now be controlled as one coherent surface without deleting the underlying history.
Radio resilience
Returning from another app or tab now preserves healthy near-live audio, but replaces a stale queue with one clean live connection before delayed sound can turn into choppy catch-up playback.
Artist identity & rewards
APR Artist is now a real application and review flow, clearly separated from APR Wallet and rewards so that a public form can never verify an identity or connect a wallet by itself.
APR Distribution
APR Distribution now has a public bilingual home, an artist-built product position and a provider-independent technical foundation for releases, rights, delivery status and future royalties.
Editorial identity
APR now separates verifiable Radio Facts, eight thousand numbered editorial statements and a living Radio Constitution into three connected editorial layers.
Reach and resilience
Long product pages now expose their existing share composer immediately, while the station watchdog can distinguish a connected stream from a stream carrying digital silence.
Legal clarity
AI Playlist Legal brings music rights, artist submissions, privacy, purchases and rights-holder notices into one bilingual, public operating framework.
Artist economy
APR Artist now connects an approved artist identity, verified radio activity and one-tap USDC support on Base without taking custody of the artist’s funds.
Token design
AI Playlist has published the first proposed token design openly — including allocation, vesting, utility, anti-abuse rules and the gates that must be passed before launch.
Artist ownership
Artists can now claim their identity, connect a self-custodied Base wallet and prepare verified radio impact for direct support — without surrendering their keys.
Dark media identity
The exact original APR app mark now has a dark media variant that blends into iOS Now Playing and Dynamic Island instead of flashing a white tile.
Artist momentum
Most Liked Artists turns track-by-track listener reactions into one living artist ranking without rewriting a single play or like.
Proof at hand
The Verified icon now opens a focused Proof of Airplay sheet without leaving the player or interrupting the signal.
Portable proof
Every verified track can now generate its own APR certificate for social media, built around the track's real Spotify artwork rather than its source playlist cover.
Proof layer
APR Signal Ledger now has a dedicated verification experience and a clearer role across the full AI Playlist network.
Signal resilience
A momentary loss of mobile coverage no longer turns into a silent player waiting for another tap.
Verified signal
APR Signal Ledger turns airplay, playlist provenance, and aggregate listener likes into privacy-safe Proof of Airplay certificates.
Pitch clarity
The pitch flow now explains exactly what is wrong with a Spotify link and how the artist can correct it without losing their place.
Artist communication
AI Playlist now follows a submission beyond the initial decision with carefully timed, consent-based artist updates.
Listener accuracy
Live counting now distinguishes real devices behind the same Wi-Fi while still collapsing duplicate browser connections from one device.
Mobile clarity
The redundant listening-status line disappears during normal playback, leaving the live listener count in focus.
Identity
Admin and charts now use the exact same APR wordmark proportions as the live radio.
Press room
The press room now explains why AI Playlist creates value for artists, playlists and listeners — without presenting recreated brand marks as official assets.
Playback safety
FAQ navigation now returns to the existing player, and a device-level handoff prevents radio tabs from playing over each other.
Social sharing
Sharing the radio now produces a complete, platform-ready APR card instead of a small square app icon.
Latest patch
The public product log now records what shipped, what improved and what was fixed — without losing the story of how the network was built.
Navigation & SEO
Swedish and English now follow the visitor across the catalogue, radio, charts, manual, pitch flow and press room.
Super Pitch
Super Pitch added a fast human review path while keeping payment completely separate from playlist placement decisions.
Pitch workflow
Spotify import, playlist selection, editorial review, email decisions and the route back to live radio now form one coherent flow.
Listener intelligence
Likes, dislikes, play history and playlist context became useful curation data while the listener experience stayed simple.
Radio experience
The live player gained artwork-driven atmosphere, music-reactive movement, mobile feedback and overlays that preserve playback.
First signal
A private old-school web radio experiment became one public link, one live signal and one interface built around AI Playlist’s Spotify catalogue.
The journey so far
The timeline remains, but it no longer replaces the patch notes. It shows the larger movement behind the individual releases.
One public radio stream brought the AI Playlist catalogue into a single shared listening moment.
Plays and listener reactions turned a broadcast into useful curation intelligence.
Pitching, review and feedback connected artists directly to the network.
Language, navigation, SEO and public documentation connected every surface.
Proof of Airplay, artist identity, token design and the editorial constitution gave every signal a longer life.
An artist-built release product connected delivery foundations to APR's wider discovery system.
Artist applications and APR Wallet became separate, reviewable steps instead of one ambiguous claim.
Bounded buffering, clean reconnection and a versioned PWA shell made the installed radio more coherent.
Each meaningful public change receives a dated entry here. Small operational work can ship quietly; changes that affect artists, listeners or the product experience belong in Patches.
