Changelog

• We shipped a feature that our customers didn't like so we unshipped it. Sometimes it's just as important to delete cruft as it is to ship.
• We've made a lot of improvements to the loading states and performance. We added linting to the code and optimized the blur hash states.
• We added a nice loading animation when a viewer first experiences their Arcade.
• We're doing a big launch next week....so prepping for that 🙂

• We made it way easier for you to invite a collaborator!

• When you add a callout, now it's easier to do so. The flow builder automatically takes you to the next step.

• We've made two major investments in the publish experience: browser wrappers and backgrounds.
• We've also deleted a lot of things that we've added in the past few weeks for a cleaner experience.
• Bug fixes 🐛

• We support video now. You can capture a video inside your browser and add it to an Arcade! 📹
• We now support drag and drop. It's much easier to add content, maintain demos, or change your mind about the flow.
• We've switched from Google Analytics to Amplitude. We now get way more high fidelity data on events within Arcade
• We've been partnering with a few startups on embedding their Arcades on their homepages. Stay tuned on when they launch ⚡

• We changed hotspots' text to be open by default.
• We've made some investments in infa: setup, Google Analytics, Sentry, and user management

The biggest update is that we now support automagic flows! This means that Arcade automagically remembers where you clicked and creates clickable demos for you. This is a big investment in usability, which has been one of the top requested features from customers.

• We've also made improvements to the flow builder experience by making the "stage" (or the actual editable asset) bigger.
• We now let you add a CTA! We need to make the colors much better, though....comment on what you would prefer to see instead.

• We have better better transitions between clicks based on 3.js animations.
• We did more debugging tooltips to automatically change position based on area.
• The Chrome extension also supports sign-on and Firebase.

• Set up internal analytics on Google Analytics — we now track impressions, users, and conversions.
• We launched two experiments with Carta. We saw up to 32% conversion from first impression to CTA, and 28% conversion from first impression to CTA on the other one. These are very good conversion rates compared to industry standards of 5%.
• We have an internal login setup via Firebase authenticator — now you can have an account.
• We made some improvements to the personal catalog. Instead of a list, it's a grid now!
• We cleaned up our hosting and transitioned everything to Vercel
