This release also includes smoother loading states, streamlined navigation, and better observability — all designed to make the app more intuitive, reliable, and enjoyable to use.


v1.7.3: Database Migrations

cover image

In an effort to improve our database performance and gain the ability to remove our currenty utilization of Websockets which relies on maintaining a separate Express backend application, we now use Supabase for database hosting.

While initilly this change will have no noticeable affect on end users, it does open the door to faster Websocket communications which keep all round clients in sync as the host navigates between issues. Improvements to our realtime functionality will now follow the changes in sync with less latency and allow for easily displaying the active users within a round.
