Feature Your Server: Magazine-Style Redesign

Rebuilt the server profile and directory pages to read like a magazine. Pick from five real themes — Atlantic, Wired, Kinfolk, Vogue, Frieze — each with its own serif pairing, cover treatment, and rule style instead of just an accent-colour swap.

PremiumWebsite

Setup Checklist: Premium Features Section

We added a Premium features section to the dashboard's Setup Checklist for premium servers. Seven new tasks let you quickly configure ambient sounds, anti-AFK in study rooms, premium Pomodoro extras, leaderboard auto-post, sticky messages, card branding, and your public server listing — all from one place. Anti-AFK and branding are configurable inline (a toggle, an action picker, a colour preset) so you don't even need to leave the checklist. Servers without premium see a single, respectful preview row that lists what premium offers without nagging — no exclamation marks, no scarcity tactics, just a quiet "See pricing" button if you're curious.

Setup Checklist: Two Bug Fixes from Real Admin Reports

Fixed two annoying bugs admins flagged after the new Setup Checklist shipped. First: the dashboard sometimes warned that the bot wasn't in your server when it actually was — a transient Discord lookup glitch that got cached for a full minute. We dropped the negative cache to 5 seconds and added an inline "Try again" button alongside a "Re-invite the bot" link. Second: if you opened a setup task and were happy with the existing settings, the Save button stayed disabled because nothing had changed — you had to make a fake change, then undo it. Now every task drawer has a "Looks good — mark as done" option when there's nothing to save, so you can confirm a task with one tap.

PremiumBot & Website

Feature Your Server: a Public Profile Page for Premium Communities

Premium server admins can now publish a beautiful, customisable profile page for their community at lionbot.org/servers/your-handle. Choose a theme, accent colour, and font; upload a cover image and gallery; pick a category and tags; toggle which sections to show; and add one DoFollow link to your website (a real SEO-juicy backlink, not a redirect). Every page has a bot-managed Discord invite, optional "Verified by Leo" live stats (member count, study minutes, in-voice-now), an embeddable widget for your own site, and a dynamic social preview image. Pages are reviewed by us before going live, and you can boost yours to the top of the new /servers directory with LionGems.

WebsiteWebsite

New Site Section: /servers Directory

We added a public directory of premium servers at lionbot.org/servers — searchable, filterable by category, country, language, and study-only. The Header navigation now shows a Servers link in place of Features (Features moved into the Guides dropdown). The directory updates automatically as new premium servers publish their listings.

ImprovementWebsite

Store Customizer Is Now a Full-Screen Studio

Rebuilt the store customizer as a full-screen studio: your shopkeeper lion at full size on the left in the live theme, and a tabbed panel on the right (Look · Identity · Voice) for every control. Pick a theme, change a colour, or rewrite your greeting and the whole page repaints instantly. A pinned status bar shows when changes are saved or pending.

Bug FixWebsite

Personal Stores: Tighter Layout, Customize Button Fixed

Your lion, store name, and speech bubble now sit in a sticky sidebar (a tight banner on phones) so listings show up much higher on the page. Also fixed: "Customize Your Store" used to load forever and never open — it now opens the moment your store config arrives.

Wednesday, April 29, 20263 updates
New FeatureWebsite

Marketplace 2.0 Parts 2 & 3: Themes, Featured Listings, Vanity URLs

Five store themes (Default, Stardew, Pokemon, Earthbound, Game Boy) with animated backgrounds, accent colours, and live preview. LionHeart members can now feature listings (1/3/10 slots by tier) to push them to the top of the marketplace with a rainbow frame. Every store can have a custom URL like /pet/marketplace/store/your-handle.

New FeatureWebsite

Marketplace 2.0 Part 1: Personal Stores and Lower Fees for Subscribers

Every seller now has a personal store front at /pet/marketplace/store/{your_id} — your lion is the shopkeeper, with a custom greeting and all your active listings in one place. LionHeart subscribers also get lower fees (4/3/2% by tier), longer listings, and higher caps. Existing listings are never touched.

ImprovementWebsite

New Setup Checklist for Server Admins

Server setup got a full rebuild. The old 12-step wizard is now an 8-task Setup Checklist on your server's dashboard, with each task opening a focused panel (slide-in on desktop, full-screen on phones). Plain-English tooltips for technical terms, every task is skippable, and the bot warns upfront if it's missing the permissions you're enabling. The old wizard lives on as "Guided Tour" in dashboard search.

Sunday, April 26, 20261 update
Bug FixWebsite

Fixed: Crops Were Invisible on the Family Farm

Crops on the family farm were rendering as empty soil even though the plants were growing fine in the background — only the shared farm view was affected, personal farms were not. Sprites now show up correctly. Nothing was lost; refresh the page and your plants are there. Reported by Fire.

ImprovementWebsite

Farm Timers Now Show Hours Properly

Farm water timers now switch to hours:minutes:seconds when you have an hour or more left. Previously a freshly watered Phoenix Bloom would tick down from "480:00" instead of "8:00:00". Suggested by Lucky.

Bug FixWebsite

Fixed: "Clear All Blacklists" Showed Error Even When It Worked

The "Clear all active blacklists" admin tool on Video and Screen Channels was showing a red "Internal server error" even though it had already finished pardoning everyone successfully. The destructive work always ran; only the success response was broken. Extra clicks on Clear were no-ops, so nothing was double-pardoned.

PremiumBot

LionHeart Profile Cards — Real Bloom and Smoother Animation

Rebuilt the LionHeart animated profile card. Glows now use a true Gaussian-blur bloom (instead of stacked rings), snowflakes and diamonds rotate as they fall, and the animation runs noticeably smoother. The 30+ day rainbow border and 100+ day gold-streak fire boost are finally wired in, and the dashboard preview now plays the animation instead of showing a stuck frame.

PremiumWebsite

LionHeart Studio — A Real Studio for Your Profile Card

Rebuilt the LionHeart supporter dashboard. Your live profile card now sits in a sticky Discord-style chat preview on the left, with everything else split into clean tabs (Looks · Colors · Motion · Frame · Profile). No more Save button — every change auto-saves with a status pill. New: 12 one-click curated themes, a palette node graph for recolouring, animated previews for every particle and border style, a Surprise Me randomiser, and a Compare button to diff your saved card against your draft.

Bug FixWebsite

Fixed: USD Subscribers Weren't Getting Gems or Server Premium

Anyone who subscribed to LionHeart in USD wasn't getting their monthly LionGems, server premium slot, or boosted top.gg vote rewards — the Stripe webhook only recognised the older EUR price IDs, so USD subscriptions were flagged as "no tier". Fixed, and we made the affected accounts whole (gems credited, tiers set, server premium provisioned).

New FeatureWebsite

Email — Welcomes, Weekly Recaps, and Full Notification Control

Launched our first email program. Sign in for the first time and you'll get a warm welcome (with a setup checklist if you're a server admin). Every Sunday at 18:00 UTC, anyone who studied that week gets a recap with focus time vs last week, streak, top server, and gems earned. A new Email Notifications card on /dashboard/settings toggles each category, with one-click unsubscribe in every email.

WebsiteWebsite

A Refreshed Homepage and Premium Page

Big visual refresh of the homepage and premium page. The homepage gets a redesigned hero with live activity, the three LionGotchi sections collapse into one tabbed block, and a bolder gradient closer. The premium page got the bigger overhaul: split hero, an always-visible tier-comparison grid, a clearly dominant "Most Popular" tier, gem "Best Value" badges, and a sticky pricing bar that slides in on scroll. Both pages now share the dashboard's design tokens.

LionGotchiWebsite

Plant Your Whole Farm in One Click

Added a "Plant All" button to the personal and family farm toolbars. Pick a seed and the action button shows the full batch cost upfront (e.g. "Buy & Plant All (12) — 120G"). Each plot still rolls its own rarity, so you can still get a lucky LEGENDARY in a batch. Family planting uses the treasury and respects the existing permission. Thanks to Gaijin Yakuza.

Mods Can Now Edit Pomodoro Timers They Created

Anyone with Manage Channels could create a Pomodoro timer with /pomodoro create, but got "You don't have permission" when trying to /pomodoro edit it. Fixed: if you can create it, you can edit it. Private study room timers keep their stricter owner-only rules. Thanks to bug report #0041.

ImprovementWebsite

Manage Your Subscription: Switch Plans and Add Tax IDs

Long-overdue tune-up of the Stripe subscription portal. The "Change plan" option now shows current pricing for all three LionHeart tiers in USD and EUR, and Server Premium subscribers can switch between monthly/yearly without cancelling. Tax ID and billing address fields are now available so EU/UK customers can get VAT-compliant invoices.

ImprovementBot

Family "Leave" Button Now Asks for Confirmation

The "Leave" button on the family hub now opens a confirmation prompt first, with a clear warning about the 7-day rejoin cooldown. The leader-side "Disband" button gets the same treatment, plus wording that bank items and treasury gold will be returned. Thanks to Sky.

LionGotchiWebsite

Room Decorating: Smoother Drag, No More Lost Items

Two tweaks to the LionGotchi room editor. Dragging furniture on a phone is noticeably smoother now (we were re-rendering ~100 times a second; capped to 60fps). And the off-canvas guardrail now uses each item's true visible area, so you can't accidentally drag a lamp into the void where its only on-canvas pixels are transparent. Reported by a member of Comité des jeunes Lit Up.

Tuesday, April 21, 20261 update
LionGotchiWebsite

Room Decorating: Matching Colors and Mobile-Friendly Preview

Four bug fixes for the LionGotchi room editor. The big one: wallpapers and furniture were showing different colors on the website vs Discord — we re-uploaded all 312 room asset images so they now match. Items appear immediately on first equip without a blank-canvas flash, drag keeps at least 20px of every decoration on-screen, and the room preview no longer gets cut off by the Gameboy frame on phones.

Monday, April 20, 20262 updates
New FeatureWebsite

Disable Auto-Blacklisting From the Dashboard

The Video Channels page now has a clearly labelled "Auto-Blacklisting" card with a one-click Disable button — turn it off and members will only ever be kicked from camera-required channels, never blacklisted. We also built a brand-new Screen Channels page with the same controls. Both pages let you "Clear All Active Blacklists" in one action with a typed confirmation.

Bug FixBot

Pomodoro Voice Alerts Are Audible Again

Pomodoro voice alerts had gone silent — the bot would join the channel for a few seconds each round but no chime played. We were sending raw WAV bytes to Discord, which expects a specific audio format. Now we route the alert through ffmpeg first, so the chime actually plays. Same sounds, same timing.

Sunday, April 19, 20264 updates
ImprovementWebsite

Send a Partial Stack of Items to Friends

When you gift an item to a friend on the website, you can now choose how many to send instead of being forced to ship the entire stack. Pick an item, type the quantity (or hit "All"), and the rest stays in your inventory. Stacks of 1 work the same as before — no extra tap. Enhanced or scrolled gear still has to be sent as the whole stack, since the bonuses are tied to the stack itself and can't be cleanly split. Requested by an admin who wanted to send a few scrolls to a friend without losing the rest of their own collection.

Bug FixBot

/strikes Now Loads Instantly for High-Offense Users

If a server had a long moderation history, the /strikes command would sometimes get stuck on "thinking…" when looking up a member with lots of past offenses. Under the hood the bot was scanning the entire guild's ticket history just to compute the per-guild ticket numbering for everyone before it could filter to one person. We rewrote that lookup to use three small targeted queries instead, so the command now responds in under a second regardless of how many tickets the server has — and it skips the heavy file attachment data it didn't actually need.

ImprovementWebsite

Clearer Descriptions for the Rank Type Setting

The dashboard previously labelled the "XP" rank type as "Combined XP" with a description that said it counted both voice time and messages. That was misleading — the bot's XP rank type only counts text/word activity (longer messages earn more); voice study time is its own separate metric. We've updated the labels and tooltips on the Settings page, the Ranks page, and the setup wizard so admins know exactly which activity each option counts. The setting itself didn't change — just the description of what it does.

Bug FixBot & Website

Anti-AFK Now Respects Untracked Channels (and Untrack Whole Categories from the Dashboard)

Two related improvements. First, a bug fix: the Anti-AFK system was still sending activity check prompts in voice and stage channels that you'd marked as untracked in the Voice Tracker settings — including channels inside untracked categories like hangout or chat-only spaces. From now on, if a channel doesn't count toward study stats, Anti-AFK won't ping people there either. Second, you can now untrack a whole category in one click directly from the dashboard's Tracking Exclusions section (both for voice and text). Previously the dropdown only listed individual channels, so admins had to either pick every child channel one by one or use a slash command. Same goes for stage channels — they're properly handled across both improvements.

New FeatureWebsite

Reset a Member's Tracked Stats from the Dashboard

Server admins can now selectively wipe a single member's tracked study data — voice/text time and XP, pomodoros, season stats, and (optionally) coins — with a time-frame filter (24h, 7 days, 30 days, custom, or all time). Every reset shows a live preview, requires a typed name confirmation, and is fully logged.

LionGotchiWebsite

Inventory QoL — Equip Best, Try On, and Marketplace Links

We added three quality-of-life features to the pet inventory based on community feedback: an 'Equip Best' button that auto-equips your strongest items across all slots with one click, a 'Try On' preview that lets you see how any item looks on your lion before equipping or buying, and convenient marketplace links throughout the inventory page so you can easily browse for new gear.

New FeatureWebsite

Privacy Dashboard — GDPR Compliance

We added a new Privacy section to the dashboard where you can view a summary of all data we store about you, download a full copy of your data as a JSON file, or request deletion of your account data. Deletion requests include a 14-day cooling-off period and are reviewed by an admin before processing.

New FeatureBot & Website

Room Inactivity Auto-Delete

Server admins can now enable automatic cleanup of inactive private rooms. Set a number of days, and rooms with no messages or voice activity will be deleted automatically — with the remaining balance refunded to the owner. The dashboard also shows each room's last active time so admins can monitor activity at a glance.

ImprovementBot

Configurable Schedule Reminder Timing

Server admins can now customize how early scheduled session reminders are sent, anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes before the session starts. Previously this was locked at 15 minutes. Configure it with /admin config schedule or through the bot's interactive settings panel.

Monday, April 6, 20262 updates
PremiumBot & Website

Anti AFK System — Premium Voice Activity Checks

We added a new premium feature that automatically checks if users in voice channels are still active. Admins can configure check intervals, grace periods, and choose between disconnecting, pausing sessions, or moving inactive users to the AFK channel. Everything is configured from the dashboard with smart exemptions for streaming users, pomodoro sessions, and specific roles or channels.

ImprovementBot & Website

Schedule Reminder Mute + Notification Fix

You can now mute scheduled session reminders with a button right on the DM itself, or from the dashboard profile page. We also fixed an issue where booking consecutive hourly slots would send a separate reminder for each hour — now you only get one notification for the entire block.

Features Page Overhaul — 12 Sections, Live Stats & FAQ

We completely rebuilt the features page with 5 new sections (Private Rooms, Tasks & Boards, Scheduled Sessions, Ambient Sounds, Web Dashboard), live stats counters, sticky category navigation, a 'More Features' grid, and a FAQ section. The page now showcases 20+ features instead of just 7.

Scheduled Sessions: Calendar, iCal Sync & Server View

Your study sessions now appear on a beautiful monthly calendar. You can sync them to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar with one click. Server admins also get a calendar tab showing attendance across all sessions.

Room Notifications Toggle

Server admins can now turn off the join/leave notification messages that appear inside private rooms. Find it in Server Settings under Private Rooms.

Study Session Notifications Fixed

Session reminders now send properly as DMs before the session starts, and the channel ping actually triggers a push notification on your phone.

Admin Room Management Panel

Server admins get a dedicated rooms panel with analytics, health stats, room search, freeze/unfreeze controls, bulk actions, CSV export, and a full audit log of admin actions.

Leave Room Command

Members can now voluntarily leave a private room with /room leave or the new Leave button on the room panel. No more needing the owner to kick you.

Farm Growth — Accurate Time Estimates

The farm embed now shows how much time is actually remaining instead of wildly wrong numbers. We were accidentally using old growth constants for the estimate.

Bug FixBot

Farm Growth Saves Properly

Fixed a rare issue where farm progress could be lost if a voice session and a message counted at the exact same moment. Growth updates are now safe from overlap.

Bug FixBot

Messages Now Count Toward Farm Growth

Sending messages was supposed to help your plants grow, but the math was accidentally rounding everything down to zero. Now your messages actually contribute!

Bug FixWebsite

Ambient Sounds Page Fixed for Premium Servers

Premium servers were seeing a 'not premium' message on the Ambient Sounds page even though they had premium. This was caused by missing database setup on the production server.

Sounds Bot Goes Live

The ambient sounds bot is now running on the live server with all 10 bot instances ready to serve premium guilds.

Four Live Bot Bugs Fixed

Website Links Temporarily Updated

While lionbot.org was down, we swapped all bot links to point to the backup URL so nothing was broken for users.

/pet Command Crash Fixed

The /pet command was crashing on all servers due to a text formatting issue introduced during the text customization work. We identified and fixed it within hours.

Room Owner Delete & Mod Role

Room owners can now delete their own rooms (with a coin refund) using /room delete or the dashboard. Admins can also set a moderator role that automatically gets access to all rooms.

Bug FixBot

Six Room Settings Now Actually Work

We found that six room settings (sync permissions, max rooms per user, name length limit, minimum deposit, auto-extend, cooldown) were showing in the dashboard but the bot wasn't reading them. Now they're fully wired up.

LoFi Music Polish Pass

LoFi playback got a full quality upgrade: proper song metadata, consistent volume levels, smooth fade-in/fade-out, 'Now Playing' display, skip button, automatic crash recovery, and sub-playlists by mood.

Shared Kanban Boards

Create collaborative task boards with your friends! Drag and drop tasks between columns, assign team members, track activity history, and use /board on Discord to check tasks quickly.

Screen Share Enforcement

Just like camera-only channels, admins can now set up screen-share-only voice channels. Members who don't share their screen get warned and eventually timed out.

Previously, selling an enhanced item on the marketplace would lose all its scroll bonuses. Now scroll data is fully preserved — buyers get exactly the item you listed, scrolls and all.

Weekly Leaderboard Post Fix

If you used 'Run Now' to manually post a leaderboard during the week, it would block the scheduled weekly post from firing. Fixed — manual runs no longer interfere with the schedule.

Economy Page Loading Fix

The economy dashboard was stuck on a loading spinner for large servers. We split it into two faster requests and added proper database indexes so it loads in seconds now.
