Release Notes

What's new in BSV Radar.

v2026.06.2

June 12, 2026

The everything-talks-to-you release — your contributions show up instantly, the people you care about can finally reach you (review replies, new followers, launches from people you follow), streaks fight for their life with a midnight warning, makers get a share-your-launch moment, and onboarding becomes a choice instead of a wall.

Added

—Skip onboarding entirely — the welcome flow now has a quiet 'Skip for now'. Skipped it? The green banner up top brings you back whenever you're ready, and finishing still pays +15 XP.
—You're never starting with an empty feed — every new member automatically follows BSV Radar and the newest member who joined right before them, so there's something to see from minute one. The person you follow gets a friendly heads-up too.
—Share your launch — the moment your app goes live, a share dialog appears with your personal link. Anyone who visits through it earns you XP, and your launch card looks great everywhere it's pasted.
—Streaks now fight back — keep a 3-day streak or longer and we'll send a heads-up in the evening before it breaks: 'Your N-day streak ends at midnight.' Toggle it any time in Settings.
—Milestone moments — hit a 7, 30, or 100-day streak, or watch your app cross 10, 50, or 100 upvotes, and you'll get a celebration notification with a shareable card to show it off.
—Notifications that actually reach you — review replies, reviews on your apps, and new followers can now arrive as push notifications instead of waiting silently in the bell. Every type has its own toggle in Settings.
—Launches from people you follow — when someone you follow ships a new app or building block, you hear about it.
—Follow back in one tap — new-follower notifications now carry a Follow back button right on the row.
—Welcome-back email — been away a couple of weeks? We'll send one (and only one) catch-up of what you missed: new apps in your categories, new followers, and where your streak stands.
—Unsubscribe in one click — every email now supports your inbox's native one-click unsubscribe, no sign-in required.
—Sign-in shows who's already here — a live member count and friendly faces of recent joiners, right in the sign-in dialog.
—Beautiful link previews everywhere — profiles, building blocks, lists, and invite links now unfurl into proper share cards when pasted into chats and social feeds. Tweeting a review shows the review's own card, stars and all.
—BSV Radar works offline now — install it to your home screen and losing signal shows a friendly branded page instead of a browser error. Android gets a true one-tap install prompt, and the app icon shows a badge when notifications are waiting.
—Your rating badge, everywhere — app approval now comes with a ready-to-paste badge snippet for your website, and owners see an embed card right on their app page.
—Your click survives signing in — tap upvote or follow while signed out and it completes itself the moment you're back from sign-in, instead of asking you to find the button again. Marking a review helpful works the same way.
—Reply and react in chat — quote any message to reply to it and the person you replied to gets a heads-up; react to a message and its author hears about it too. If unread messages are piling up in your channels, we'll nudge you so conversations don't go stale.
—Setup now drops you somewhere useful — finish onboarding as a beginner and you land straight in the starter quest; everyone else lands in the app directory with a quick 'upvote a few apps you know' nudge. The people we suggest you follow now lean toward those who share your skills.
—Your following feed, on the dashboard — a live feed of what the people you follow are shipping, reviewing, and upvoting, right where you land.
—Say hi back — when the community welcomes you in global chat, you now get a notification so you can jump in and reply.

Fixed

—Your review or upvote now appears on the app page the instant you submit it — no more wondering whether it saved.
—Review counts across cards, search, badges, and the radar widget now match the real number of reviews an app has.
—Editing your app from its public page now shows your changes immediately after saving.
—Sign-in links that quietly went nowhere now open the sign-in dialog and return you exactly where you were — including the claim and get-verified flows.
—Invite links got the full treatment — working sign-in options including wallet login, and a proper preview card when shared.
—App owners are now always notified of new reviews — including ones that publish instantly — and reply notifications reach everyone they should.
—Anniversary emails now respect your email preferences.
—Brand-new accounts no longer hit a missing page when opening their profile from the mobile menu.
—Chat mentions now take you to the exact conversation where they happened, instead of just opening chat.

Changed

—Top Rated, Most Reviewed, and Trending now rank by what the community actually thinks — real ratings, real review counts, and live upvote momentum — including inside categories.
—Following people during onboarding is now optional — your feed already has life in it from day one.
—Install and notification prompts learned manners — they wait until you've actually done something on the site, remember being dismissed for weeks instead of minutes, match your platform's real install flow, and desktop users can finally enable push too.
—The weekly digest got smarter — see how many leaderboard ranks you climbed and which of your apps drew the most eyes.
—The setup checklist now keeps its promises — every step pays its XP the moment you complete it, the share step can actually be completed, progress counts are accurate, and the +25 completion bonus is really earnable.
