TLDR

This release introduces upvotes for rewarding great content, missions with progress tracking and rewards, and a streamlined points purchase experience. We've also enhanced browsing safety, notification systems, and marketing integration while maintaining platform stability and developer compatibility.

Why This Release Matters

We've focused on strengthening community engagement and improving user experience. Upvotes help quality content gain visibility, missions provide structured goals with tangible rewards, and the redesigned points page makes purchasing credits effortless. These changes create a more rewarding ecosystem for both creators and enthusiasts exploring AI art generation.

Upvotes and Popularity

Upvotes now let you recognize outstanding creations while personalized controls help curate your browsing experience. Each user receives a daily voting allowance with clear visibility into remaining votes and reset timing. The system combines recent upvotes with lifetime favorites to surface truly popular content while respecting individual hidden item lists.

Guest users see login prompts when attempting to vote, ensuring authenticated participation. Hidden items remain accessible to admins for content moderation while being excluded from individual feeds. Batch processing maintains gallery performance even with real-time popularity updates.

Missions, Rewards, and Badges

Our new missions system offers daily, weekly, and one-time challenges with clear progress tracking. The idempotent claiming mechanism prevents duplicate rewards while ensuring reliable point distribution. Successful mission completion triggers immediate point awards and badge unlocks through efficient upsert operations.

The mission framework supports various time windows using UTC consistency and generates completion events that power notifications and activity feeds. For those exploring how to create AI art, missions provide guided pathways into platform features while rewarding learning progression. The server-rendered missions page includes structured data markup for improved search visibility.

Points Page Improvements

The redesigned points purchase page prioritizes mobile usability with a focused payment flow. PayPal integration now initializes only when visible and maintains state across navigation events. The interface suggests practical point usage including video generation and custom model training—key features for creators developing their AI art workflow.

Visual refinements include green action buttons for positive interactions and prominent balance displays. The removal of disruptive success modals creates a smoother purchasing experience. These improvements complement our existing guide on Fiddl Points explained which details earning and spending mechanisms.

Notifications, Digests, and Events

The enhanced notification system features persistent unread counts, batch marking options, and authentication-aware polling. Event-driven architecture powers mission alerts, badge notifications, and upvote acknowledgments. Email digests group updates by type and respect individual preference settings.

The full-screen notification view optimizes for mobile devices while maintaining quick access to relevant actions. This system integrates with broader platform improvements like those described in our Sora 2 and improved missions update, creating a cohesive communication experience.

Identity and Trust

Tonomy authentication now uses the official SDK verifier with JWT-style client authorization. The updated implementation maintains API compatibility while improving security. Users linking Tonomy accounts receive a 100-point bonus, creating additional incentive for verified identity.

The OpenAPI specification remains synchronized with these changes, ensuring continued functionality for integrated clients. This maintains the robust foundation described in our Privy authentication support update while expanding authentication options.

Safer Browsing and Better Feeds

Content filtering now consistently excludes deleted and failed media across all browsing interfaces. Administrative views maintain access to private content while respecting deletion and error states. The ranking algorithm blends recent upvotes with historical favorites while deduplicating across media types.

Enhanced filter options include creator selection, custom model identification, prompt text matching, and date ranges. These improvements build upon the discovery features introduced in our expanding discovery with models page update, creating a more refined browsing experience.

Marketing Updates

We've completed Facebook domain verification, enabling improved link preview control and Meta Business feature access. The addition of Meta Pixel PageView tracking supports attribution analysis and retargeting capabilities. These implementations follow privacy-conscious design with configurable consent management.

Smaller Fixes and Polish

Interface refinements include logical unlock prompts when favoriting locked items, persistent local media caching to reduce unlock flickering, and improved mobile input handling. The events filter demonstrates increased stability with proper pagination reset behavior during filter changes.

Template listings now render reliably with corrected mood tab functionality. These cumulative improvements create a more polished experience whether you're using our AI video generation features or exploring custom model training capabilities.

Notes for Developers

Tonomy authentication payloads have undergone field renaming to align with JWT standards—client implementations should update accordingly. Missions APIs provide comprehensive functionality including listing, progress tracking, status checks, claiming, and badge management.

The batch popularity endpoint with periodic refresh mechanisms maintains user-specific flags without individual item queries. Browse filters enforce stricter content exclusion policies, ensuring deleted and errored media never surface through public APIs.

Try It Now

Experience these enhancements by upvoting creations you appreciate, completing missions for badges and points, and exploring the streamlined points purchase flow. The system provides realistic cost guidance whether you're training custom models, generating videos, or creating images through our AI art creation platform.
