Changelog
What changed,
and when it landed.
ViberDen is being built in the open. Every entry here is work that is actually running, newest first. There are no version numbers yet, because nothing has been through a release: this log starts where the current product does.
-
A new public site, and a way to reach us
The whole unauthenticated site was rebuilt on one design: a navy palette that follows your light or dark setting, the owl mark, and a single vocabulary of cards, bands and forms shared by every page.
- New home, pricing, sign-in, registration, password and error pages.
- Sign in with Google or GitHub, alongside an email and password.
- The blog gained cover images, reading times, search, sorting and related posts.
- A contact form that reaches a person, and this help, about, cookie and changelog set.
- Groundwork for other languages: the server and the app now read their words from a catalog.
-
The member app and the tools behind it
Everything an account needs to run itself, in one signed-in application, plus the review and settings screens that keep the exchange honest.
- Sites, zones and ads managed from the app, with your own statistics.
- Credits, checkout, billing history, refunds and referrals.
- Account settings, including deleting your account yourself.
- Review queues for ads and fraud cases, and admin-tunable platform settings.
- A public blog, a price list read from those settings, and the SEO plumbing under both.
-
The exchange itself
The first end-to-end version of the loop: an account can register a site, serve ads on it, earn credits for the traffic it delivers, and spend them on ads of its own.
- Accounts, email confirmation, sessions and password reset.
- The credit ledger: purchased, earned and bonus credits, with a fixed spend order.
- Domain ownership proof by DNS record or meta tag, and ad zones on verified sites.
- Ad serving, the click pipeline, deduplication, and fraud checks with holds and forfeiture.
- Referral rewards, credit packs and subscriptions, monthly budgets and automatic top-ups.
- Statistics, account deletion under GDPR, and the scheduler that runs the periodic jobs.
