New and improved tag selector
It's now much easier to list, search for, and select tags. Artists will now get the benefit of this when managing their song library, and everyone else will see it when using the smart search or filtering functions.
New and improved Bible passage selector
In the same vein, the Bible passage selector has been totally overhauled. Instead of having to type out the book, chapter and verse, and hope that you got the right format, you can select them individually. You can select the whole chapter, an individual verse or range of verses.
Email improvements
Along with general design updates, there are now various improvements to the emails sent out by Unified Praise:
- Everyone gets an onboarding email after they sign up, which lets them know what they signed up to and what to do next
- The old "discover weekly" email is now a monthly rundown
- The new releases email has been improved with some design updates and clearer messaging
Upcoming: audio streaming
Currently, the music player on the platform downloads and plays MP3 files. One of the limitations is that, if you're listening to music in the background, the player stops after one song until you click back on the tab. That's bugged me for a long time, and it can be solved by moving to something called HLS streaming. That's currently in testing and shaping up nicely.
