A comprehensive update focused on making BeatPass more reliable, accurate, and faster. This release includes significant improvements to the mobile messaging experience, TypeScript code quality enhancements, and ensures that your data displays correctly, pages load faster, and the platform runs smoothly.

Mobile Chat Experience Improvements

iOS Safari Keyboard Fixes

Fixed issues where the keyboard on iOS Safari would push chat content out of view:
  • Keyboard no longer hides messages — Chat messages stay visible when the keyboard opens on iPhone and iPad
  • Input stays above keyboard — The message input field now properly positions itself above the on-screen keyboard
  • No more janky scrolling — Smooth transitions when the keyboard appears and disappears

Scroll Containment

Fixed issues where scrolling in the chat window would accidentally scroll the entire page:
  • Isolated chat scrolling — Scrolling through messages no longer moves the page behind the chat
  • Better touch handling — Improved responsiveness on mobile devices
  • Proper scroll boundaries — Chat scroll now stops at the top and bottom without “bouncing” to the page

What This Means For You

If you’ve experienced frustration typing messages on your phone where the conversation would jump around or disappear when the keyboard opened, these issues are now fixed. The mobile chat experience should feel much more natural and responsive.

Leaderboard Accuracy Fixes

Metadata Quality Leaderboard

Fixed issues where the Quality Leaderboard wasn’t showing accurate information about your tracks:
  • Tagged tracks count now accurate — The leaderboard now correctly shows how many of your tracks have tags (e.g., “25/50 tagged” instead of showing 0)
  • Descriptions properly counted — Track descriptions are now counted correctly in your quality score
  • Consistent quality scores — Your metadata completion percentage is now calculated the same way across the entire platform

What This Means For You

If you previously saw “0/142 tagged” or “0/142 described” on the Quality Leaderboard despite having filled in this information, you’ll now see the correct numbers reflecting your actual work.

Faster Loading & Better Performance

Speed Improvements

  • Faster dashboard loading — Analytics and leaderboard pages now load significantly faster
  • Smarter data caching — The platform remembers recent data intelligently, reducing wait times when you navigate between pages
  • Smoother filter switching — Changing filters on analytics pages no longer causes the screen to flash or reset

Database Optimizations

Behind the scenes, we’ve added optimizations that make searching and filtering your track data much faster, especially for producers with large catalogs.

Admin Tools Reliability

Fixed Admin Logs

The admin logs section now works reliably:
  • Schedule logs load properly — No more error screens when viewing scheduled job history
  • Cleaner interface — Removed debug information that was cluttering the admin logs

Background Job Reliability

  • Improved job execution — Background tasks like notifications and subscription payouts now run more reliably
  • Better error recovery — Jobs that fail due to temporary issues will automatically retry

Platform Stability

Code Quality Improvements

We’ve made numerous improvements to the platform’s underlying code:
  • Removed duplicate components — Cleaned up redundant code to reduce bugs and inconsistencies
  • Better error handling — The platform now handles edge cases more gracefully instead of showing error screens
  • Type safety improvements — Reduced potential for bugs through stricter code validation

Track Upload & Edit Type Safety (Phase 4)

Improved code quality in business-critical track management flows:
  • Safer track uploads — Eliminated unsafe type casts in the upload process
  • Better metadata handling — Genre, tag, and artist data now properly typed throughout the edit flow
  • Duplicate detection improvements — More reliable duplicate track checking with proper error handling

Documentation

  • New architecture documentation — Internal documentation helps us maintain and improve the platform faster
  • Clearer component guidelines — Development standards ensure consistent behavior across features

Technical Details

Leaderboard Data Fixes

IssueResolution
tracks_with_tags returning 0Added field to ProducerProfileService.batchCalculateMetadataCompletion()
tracks_with_descriptions returning 0Added field calculation and propagation to stats return
Inconsistent metadata formulaStandardized to 5-field formula (BPM, Key, Scale, Description, Tags) at 20% each

Cache Standardization

Created centralized cache configuration in config/analytics.php:
  • Realtime: 60s (live dashboards)
  • Short: 300s (frequently updated)
  • Medium: 900s (analytics summaries)
  • Long: 1800s (leaderboards)
  • Daily: 86400s (historical data)

Database Indexes Added

  • analytics_track_event_date_idx — Composite index on (track_id, event_type, created_at)
  • analytics_user_event_date_idx — Composite index on (user_id, event_type, created_at)

Frontend Optimizations

  • Centralized format utilities in resources/client/common/utils/format.ts
  • React Query defaults set to staleTime: 5min, refetchOnWindowFocus: false
  • Removed 6 duplicate UI component files

TypeScript Type Safety

  • Removed console.log statements from configured-jobs-section.tsx
  • Added defensive logging to background jobs to prevent cascade failures

What’s Next

These foundational improvements set the stage for upcoming features and ensure the platform remains fast and reliable as we continue to add new capabilities for producers. Coming Soon:
  • Additional mobile UX improvements
  • Enhanced notification preferences
  • More analytics insights
