Week 17/2025

This week has broken some major milestones in the road to version 3. We are now in a situation where a big part of the new big building blocks are working and plumbed together:

• New API
• New Frankie streaming server
• New Web site (the one you're reading!)
• New live page
• New account site
• New documentation site
• New admin site

Also the old infrastructure has gotten some long needed upgrades;

• Backstage has been upgraded to the latest version
• Old Slipmat v2 has been upgraded to use a new deployment pipeline which means we can finally update the site again after over 4 years! 🎉

Week 16/2025

Still focusing on Milestone Alpha 2. The new chat has now been fully impelented in the API, the next step is to bring it to the new live page.

The live page works now and understands anonymous versus authenticated users. The new streaming server and the new video player work now better in sync so we are really close to being able to test the full live experience!

Week 4/2025

Focus on Milestone Alpha 2. The past few weeks of development have been so fierce that this week had to be taken to tidy up current codebase. This allows us to keep the development pace high in the coming few weeks.

• feat: short-lived session system to allow for example login via OTP token by email or SMS
• feat: new integration with Stripe (with a working donation button on the homepage)
• fix: manual video play element shows now behind and not in front of the loading screen
• refactor: updated Tailwind to the latest official v4 version
• refactor: separated common elements from all frontend projects into a one shared package in the main monorepo
• refactor: moved live page, chat and admin site to their own domains
• refactor: revamped authentication to work over multiple domains

Known regression: the new live page placeholder doesn't currently work. We'll bring it back soon with actual data and features so we can start testing it properly.
