Changelog

• Hello, world! We're back 👋
• We've released a fair amount. The biggest is that we've released Analytics. Now, any Arcader can see which people have engaged with their demo by looking at overall impressions, uniques, engaged users, and conversions. You can also compare top performing Arcades against the least.
• We've rebranded our app with our new logo — the button! Using the button is one of our favorite interactions in the app.
• We also have a very different user experience when building the demo:
• You have numbers next to each step so that it's easier to navigate and refer to them.
• You can edit targets within the hotspot editor.
• You can edit the text of the hotspot.
• You can use the ⬆️ and ⬇️ keys within the flow builder.
• Updating the iframe code to be more responsive across embeds.
• Investments in video streaming (thank you Mux) in making it quick to load and play.
• We've invested more in our Chrome extension to make it more accurate with capture.
• Many performance and bug fixes :)

• More performance improvements and bug fixes.
• We're going to be a bit quieter than usual as we're shipping some large features in the next few months, so will be quiet until our launch!

• Our Chrome extension is published! Ping us if you want the extension. It's way easier now to publish your Arcade.
• We published Arcade's Guide to PLG Growth, which got a fair amount of engagement and leads.
• We've added a "publish" and "unpublish" buttons. This is especially useful if you have already published your Arcade and want to edit it after.
• We've added CTA customization with branding. If your company has a personal brand, you can now upload your preferred colors.
• We've made some performance improvements by separating the published Arcade from the built Arcade.

• 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
