Q&A

alphaghostflex: Can we add numbers to box requests so hosts know the order?

  • meggs: Requests are not currently in order of request
  • Zach: Good idea, maybe we can get that out quickly

christmas1: favorited going live on Friday nights interrupts things happening in the app that day

  • Zach: I get it, we're always talking about it

christmas1: Combo gifts for prestiges?

  • Zach: Whole system for prestige gifts that hasn't been implemented yet

tannertm: Can creators be allowed more than one banner a week?

  • Zach: Fair — everything to do with scheduled events will be reworked
  • meggs: Events with more activity will be promoted in the system

legend_zog: Can we swipe to hide chat during boxes?

  • Zach: Swipes/taps occupied by other priorities, but we can look into it — not implementable for a few months at least

legend_zog: Wants to be able to change box layout as a viewer to spotlight the host

  • Zach: Probably complicated, we'll talk about it

belle_11871_coven: Option for super-mods to press yes for battles

  • Zach: Yes — will also enable driving-safe battling. 100% should do this

cashoutmarc: One of his viewers has the wrong time on battles and can't see speed

  • Zach: Probably her phone's clock
  • Eric: Could be Daylight Savings adjusting time incorrectly — go to clock settings and turn on "Auto"; phone represents time locally, not necessarily connected to the internet

corrupt_vibez: Would you be open to a marketplace on the app?

  • Zach: Not the focus now, won't be for a long time if ever
