What's
Changed.

Creators now have a private dashboard to manage incoming pitches, track earnings, update portfolio content, and view their RRI score breakdown. Accessible at login.

Brands now have a verified public profile page visible to creators when they receive a pitch. Shows company info, campaign history, acceptance rate, and bond payment record.

Brands can now search and filter the full creator directory by niche, platform, follower count, engagement rate, location, and availability status.

Brands are now routed to a dedicated confirmation page after submitting a pitch, showing the full transaction receipt, live 72-hour countdown, and settlement scenario breakdown.

After submitting a Definitive Response, creators are routed to a receipt page confirming their $4.00 fee, showing the full settlement breakdown, and unlocking brand contact on Accept.

New post-deployment landing page for creators with checklist, bio link sharing tools, and protocol summary. Used as the email destination after successful onboarding.

Creator RRI scores are now displayed prominently on public portfolio pages and in brand search results, giving brands a clear trust signal before committing a bond.

API stat refreshes moved from 48-hour to 24-hour cycles across all connected platforms. Timestamps now display on portfolios showing last sync time.

The brand command center now shows a real-time activity feed of pitch events, settlements, and protocol updates in reverse chronological order.

The Professional ($49/mo) and The Authority ($149/mo) are now available. Both include monthly pitch credit allocations and access to the campaign management dashboard.

Brands on any plan can now purchase additional pitch credits individually or in packs of 5 or 10 directly from their dashboard, with bulk pricing applied automatically.

Creators can now connect a bank account or debit card via Stripe Connect to receive review fee disbursements. Payouts process within 1 to 3 business days of settlement.

Professional and Authority plan brands now have access to campaign grouping, allowing pitches to be organized by campaign with status tracking across all pitches in a group.

Fixed an issue where the countdown timer on pitch pages could drift by up to 4 minutes due to a client-side calculation error. Timers now sync directly against server-side timestamps.

Resolved a race condition in the Instagram stat refresh pipeline that caused follower counts to show stale data for up to 6 hours after a scheduled refresh.

The pitch submission modal on creator portfolio pages was not dismissing when clicking outside the modal container. Fixed.

All active sessions are now immediately invalidated when a password reset is completed. Previously, existing sessions remained valid until natural expiry.

Added rate limiting to the pitch submission endpoint to prevent rapid successive submissions from the same brand account. Limit set at 10 pitches per hour.

Strengthened CSRF protection across the brand signup, creator onboarding, and pitch submission flows. All state-changing requests now require valid CSRF tokens.

Profile photo uploads were silently failing on Safari 17 due to a MIME type validation mismatch. The validation logic has been updated to accept all valid image formats.

In rare cases where Stripe webhook delivery was delayed beyond 30 seconds, pitch status could display as Pending after a completed settlement. Webhook retry logic improved.

The Response Reliability Index is now live. Scores calculate automatically from response rate (40%), response time (30%), protocol history (20%), and profile completeness (10%). Scores display publicly on creator portfolios.

TikTok follower counts, average view counts, and engagement rates are now available as verified stats on creator portfolios. Requires reconnecting the TikTok platform in dashboard settings.

Creator portfolios now display verified audience breakdown by age group and geography, pulled from connected platform APIs. Visible to brands before submitting a pitch.

Pitch briefs now include a dedicated deliverables checklist, timeline selector, and usage rights field. Creators receive more complete information before deciding whether to respond.

Pitch received, settlement confirmed, and disbursement processed notifications redesigned for clarity. Added 24-hour and 6-hour warning emails before the 72-hour window closes.

New creator accounts were being caught in a redirect loop between the login page and dashboard on first sign-in. Fixed by updating the session initialisation order.

Rate card updates submitted during the creator onboarding flow were not persisting to the database due to a missing required field validation. Fixed.

When Instagram auth tokens expired, the platform was displaying stale stats without a clear error state. Now shows a reconnect prompt when token refresh fails.

Verified portfolio pages with API-connected Instagram and YouTube stats, manual content fields, rate card, availability status, and the pitch submission interface.

$12.99 authorization hold via Stripe Auth & Capture on every pitch. Automatic void on non-response. Capture and disbursement on Definitive Response.

Enforced response window with server-side expiry. Ghost protection returns full bond to brand. Review fee disbursement on any Definitive Response.

Pitch submission, status tracking, and settlement history. The Bridge pay-per-pitch tier launched at $12.99 per request.

Six-step deployment flow covering identity, platform connections, niche selection, rate card, availability, and portfolio preview. Free for all creators.
