Chronicle of Changes.

Added2 entries

  • Two new shortcuts on the dashboard — Showcases and Trades — so the trading features are one click from the home page.
  • A "Share with a playgroup" button right on each Showcase, so you can share it without first hunting for the Shares page.

Refined1 entry

  • The Showcases page now says what it's for — a trade binder, a show-off shelf, a sale pile — instead of leaving you to guess. The card-detail "Watch" controls and the Storage "Binder" type were the two words new players tripped over: Storage now reads "Binder (physical)" so it isn't mistaken for a trade binder. The read-only notice on a shared Showcase moved up under the title, where you'll actually see it before scrolling.

Resolved1 entry

  • New players kept hitting a dead end trying to trade. The rule that makes trading work — a playmate has to share a Showcase to a playgroup you're both in — was only spelled out on the propose-a-trade screen. It now appears on the Playgroup and Trades pages too, with a nudge to share one of your own to get things moving.
Notes from the Archivist

Everything in this release already worked; it just wasn't findable. A week alongside a new playgroup made the gaps plain — people went looking for a "binder," landed in Storage, and never found Showcases. So this is a signposting pass: the same machinery, with clearer doors.
