Upload Flow Refresh, Collection Cards & Carousel Fixes

​

Summary

​

What’s New

​

Refreshed Beat Upload Flow

• Redesigned drop zone — The upload entry point is now a single accessible drop zone using the same card shell as the rest of backstage. Drag over the zone and you get a scoped ring + “Drop files to upload” state instead of a full-page overlay.
• Clearer WAV-only guard — The file picker now restricts selection to .wav directly, and the WAV-only rule is explained inline with the drop zone instead of in a separate banner. A minutes-remaining indicator sits beside the notice when applicable.
• Keyboard and screen-reader friendly — The drop zone is a real button. You can focus it with Tab and start an upload with Enter or Space.
• Create collection toggle — The “Create collection” switch sits directly under the drop zone with a short description so you know what will happen when you drop multiple files.

​

At-a-Glance Post-Upload Confirmation

• Published hero — A large banner with your cover art, a Track published / Collection published badge, and metadata pills for genre, BPM, key, duration, or track count.
• Your catalog stats — A “Your catalog” card showing your current Tracks, Total plays, and Followers, each linking straight to the matching Producer Dashboard page. Numbers are invalidated on upload so they reflect the beat you just published.
• Producer Dashboard shortcut — A new Open dashboard action sits beside View track, Refine details, and Upload another, so you can jump straight into managing your catalog.
• Better sharing — Copy-link now has a clipboard fallback for older browsers, the native Share… sheet is used on supported devices, and Facebook / Twitter share buttons use consistent outline styling.

​

Refreshed Collection (Beatpack) Cards

• Shared Collection card — Album / beatpack cards now use the same “Collection Showcase” visual language everywhere they appear — channels, track page carousels, library, search, and album recommendations.
• Dynamic color tinting — Cards pick up a subtle tint from the cover art in both light and dark themes, with a neutral fallback if extraction fails or CORS blocks it.
• Release year label — Cards show “:year Collection” when a valid release date is available and fall back to Collection otherwise (no more “NaN Collection” on malformed dates).
• Verified badge next to the primary producer — Verified badges now appear directly on the card subtitle.
• Fluid layout — Cards are fluid by default and only pin to fixed widths inside the Discover-page horizontal scroller, so they look right in grids, carousels, and responsive pages alike.

​

Track Page “Part of a Collection” Banner Fix

• Consistent banner style — The banner shown at the bottom of a track page when that beat belongs to a collection now uses the same scale + blur cover backdrop and gradient bleed as the track, album, and post-upload heroes. It no longer stands out as an oversaturated primary-colored block.
• Correct grammar on single-track collections — “Discover all 1 premium beats in this collection” is now “It’s the only beat in this collection” on collections with a single track.

​

Carousel Scroll Fix (Desktop)

• Fixed stuck scroll arrows — The “Discover more beats from this producer” and album-recommendations carousels on desktop previously left their previous-arrow disabled and miscounted boundaries after the loading skeleton unmounted. The scroll listener now re-attaches once the real carousel mounts, so both arrows update correctly as you scroll.
• Nested carousels cleaned up — Nested content carousels (inside Discover / channel pages) drop their panel shell so cards sit directly on the page background and no longer look like “panel on panel”. Personalized channels still keep their shimmering border.
• Genre headers — Removed the redundant genre pill above genre headings since the genre name already appears in the heading itself.

​

Radio Page Layout Unified

• One responsive layout — The radio page no longer renders two separate desktop and mobile layouts. The new single responsive layout uses the same cover, badge, and metadata-pill tokens as the track, album, and post-upload heroes.
• Consistent info card — The “What is Radio?” explainer now matches the shared card shell used elsewhere on the platform.

​

Documentation Refresh (171 Articles)

• Full help audit — All 241 help articles have been verified against the live UI, source code, routes, and database state. 171 articles were flagged for rewrites or updates; this release ships the first wave of refreshed content across Getting Started, Producer Dashboard, Uploading, Library, Downloads & Licensing, Notifications, and Billing.
• Plain-language UI labels — Raw routes like /library/songs and /notifications/settings have been replaced with the actual UI labels and click paths users see on screen.

​

Bug Fixes

• Track title profanity filter — Flagging now uses word boundaries, so track names containing innocuous substrings (for example, a clean word that happens to include a banned fragment) are no longer falsely rejected.
• Producer program re-approval — Re-approving a backstage request no longer fails when the linked artist relation is lazy-loaded or stale; the service now falls back to a direct artist lookup.
• Artist verification on creation — When a User is linked to a new Artist record, the verified flag is now persisted up front instead of being dropped.
• Post-upload callback routing — The post-upload callback now routes by model type instead of checking for a duration field, so tracks with missing duration metadata still register correctly.

​

Why It Matters

• Faster, calmer uploads — The new drop zone and post-upload page keep you in one visual language from start to finish, with stats and shortcuts that get you back to running your catalog.
• Consistent collection presentation — Beatpacks look the same on Discover, track pages, library, and search, which makes them easier to recognize as a unit rather than a group of unrelated cards.
• Less visual flicker — Desktop carousel arrows behave correctly, nested carousels don’t stack panel-on-panel, and the collection banner on track pages no longer overpowers the rest of the page.
• Docs that match the product — Help articles now describe what you actually see on screen instead of raw URLs or stale terminology.
