🌋 Five weeks of changes, in one update

Around ninety changes landed since the last update. Here's what's new, by who it's for.

For everyone

The bot joins the VC and plays the queue itself, which means listening parties sound dramatically better than screen-share audio ever did. It also posts now-playing into the chat.
New dashboard with a sidebar, reworked login, settings, playlists, profiles, song pages, and stream console. One design system across all of it, plus a light/dark toggle.
Star any song or playlist and it appears on your dashboard home. Starred items are the homepage now. One interaction rule everywhere: click a card to play, click the title to open.
Three lyric modes: Scroll (autoscroll), Follow (word-by-word highlighting, powered by an ML-based lyrics aligner), and Vibe (the Afterglow fullscreen visualizer).
/calendar collects upcoming streams, contest deadlines, and events automatically.
A new Community section with a comics feed and reader.
A community bot for the Discord server built by a_cat: ticket system, counting game, birthday tracker with daily announcements, and a /resources hub.
Cheez, Evil Tyro, Stara, Darth Stara, Seven Star, Null, PunkRaven, Angel, JP, Masarys. Granted per-user; you can be awarded one for involvement in the community.
One button in Settings, everything scrubbed. No support email needed.

For creators

Curators' decisions on your submitted tracks now land in one place, with optional written feedback, so you'll actually know what happened.
/submit with a link or a track from your library. Run it in a live stream's voice chat and it targets that stream automatically.
if you change your mind before it plays.
The homepage now showcases playlists that are **open for submissions**, with their descriptions visible throughout the submit flow.

For curators

and editable titles, descriptions, and settings for curated playlists.
Leave a note with an accept or decline.
Stay anonymous or put your name on a playlist.

For streamers and hosts

Flip a stream to VC mode and the bot handles playback in Discord. It recovers from disconnects on its own, and there's a Reset button for when it doesn't.
The stream advances when a track ends and loops when the pool runs dry. No babysitting.
/startstream, /endstream, /status.
Want to host? Apply in the app; an admin reviews it.
The streams page was redesigned with past streams and a live now-playing card.

For contest organisers

a new contest format. Participants pair up, each submits a track, then responds to the one they received. Public contest pages, a review flow, deadline-aware withdraw/change, and co-managers to share the workload.
Contest streams plug into the regular stream system, including handoff to a streamer friend for the live show.

Apologies for the LLM slop announcement. We're too busy building even more shit to type it all in manually. More changes are coming, and we're picking up the pace.
