Giveaways go pro

Winner certificates, a /my-giveaways history page, and analytics wiring so every draw shows up where it should.

New (2)

Winner certificates

New

Every draw now produces a shareable certificate page with a unique link. The page works as a public proof-of-winner artifact and includes a downloadable certificate image.

My Giveaways history

New

A new logged-in page at /my-giveaways that lists all your past draws, links back to the certificate, and keeps you oriented when you run lots of giveaways.

v2.3.3·June 12, 2026

Wheels, Streamer & Performance

A prettier wheel, a new sound library, a streamer mode, and a faster site.

New (7)

Visual customization

New

Pick a color theme and palette for each wheel. Your choices are saved with the wheel and apply everywhere — page, embed, gallery card.

Accumulation mode

New

Instead of removing the winner, accumulation mode keeps the wheel intact and tallies a running total per entry. Great for team-score games and trivia.

Custom winner message

New

Show a custom message after a spin — "Great pick!", "Try again", your own text, or a fun GIF. Configurable per wheel.

Web Audio sound library

New

6 new tick profiles and 6 new finish profiles, generated in the browser with the Web Audio API. No more loading audio files; it just works.

12 new name packs

New

Twelve new curated name packs (superheroes, fantasy, cuisines, …) you can spin on the random name picker.

OBS overlay mode at /stream/[token]

New

A new streamer-friendly overlay page with no chrome, no nav, and a clean wheel. Drop it into OBS as a browser source and you’re live.

Streamer landing page

New

A new /tools/streamer-wheel page explains the feature, shows example layouts, and helps you set up your first stream in under a minute.

Improved (2)

Snappier performance

Improved

Atomic spin counter, parallel spin writes, and a slimmer canvas. Pages feel snappier on slow connections.

Stream URLs surfaced in the UI

Improved

When you create a wheel you can now mark it as streamable and copy a stream URL with one click. The URL is share-safe and never reveals who spun.

v2.3.2·June 9 – 11, 2026

Giveaway picker overhaul

A complete refresh of the giveaway picker: avatars, mobile-friendly flow, demo draw, honest cost estimates, and a long list of reliability fixes.

New (5)

Winner reveal with avatars and media

New

The Live Reveal now shows the winner’s profile picture, a media thumbnail for their comment (image or short video), and a fixed image download. It feels like a real prize moment, not a popup.

Demo draw

New

A built-in demo draw lets you try the whole Live Reveal flow end-to-end without connecting a real social account. Great for previewing what your audience will see.

Live comment-count progress

New

When fetching comments from a post, the entry pool now updates the running count in real time so you always know how many entries you actually have to draw from.

Active draw-rules summary on the entry pool

New

The entry pool card now shows a one-line summary of the rules that will actually be applied to the draw (filters, dedupe, max-entries) so you can sanity-check before picking.

Honest cost estimates

New

Estimated costs are shown before a fetch so you know what a large draw will cost in third-party provider credits. Estimates are accurate to within the actual charge.

Improved (3)

Story-perfect video exports

Improved

Share videos are now exported in vertical 9:16 with the winner front-and-center, and the file is about 3x smaller than before. Faster uploads, cleaner stories.

Mobile-friendly flow

Improved

Step indicators, scrolling, and the demo-draw button now behave properly on phones. You can run a full giveaway from your phone without layout glitches.

Long-fetch feedback

Improved

When a comment fetch takes a while you now get a clear “still working” state with a progress hint, instead of a frozen spinner.

Fixed (1)

No more never-ending spin

Fixed

Fixed a long-standing bug where the wheel could keep spinning past the target winner in some rare timing conditions. The result is now always the chosen entry.

v2.3.1·June 7 – 11, 2026

Globe Country Picker

The country picker is now a 3D zoomable globe you can spin with your finger.

New (2)

3D zoomable globe

New

The country picker is now a D3 orthographic globe. Drag to spin, pinch or scroll to zoom, and tap a country to add it. Continent filtering and a country search are built in.

Mobile touch support

New

Full mobile gesture support: one-finger drag to spin, two-finger pinch to zoom. A drag threshold prevents accidental country selection while you’re just exploring.

Improved (2)

Emerald-themed visuals

Improved

The globe uses an emerald palette (green land, themed ocean) that looks great in both light and dark mode and matches the rest of the design system.

Localized in 9 languages

Improved

Globe controls, the selection readout, and country names are now localized in all 9 supported languages.

v2.3.0·May 20 – June 2, 2026

Stats, Pricing, Community & Landing

A rebuilt stats page, pricing and refund pages, the community board, and a landing-page refresh.

New (3)

Giveaway pro tier

New

Improved (4)

Rebuilt /stats page

Improved

The public /stats page is now SSR with real numbers — total wheels, total spins, top tools, top countries — and a monthly activity chart.

Landing page refresh

Improved

Glassmorphism cards, a friendlier onboarding tooltip, and a clearer CSV importer grid. The page loads faster and reads better on mobile.

Pricing & refund pages

Improved

New /pricing and /refund pages describe FateWheel Pro clearly and explain how billing works through Paddle.

30-day refund window

Improved

The refund policy is now 30 days for FateWheel Pro. Easy to find on the refund page, no fine print.

AI Suggestions & Performance

AI-powered entry ideas plus a faster wheel canvas.

New (1)

AI-Powered Entry Suggestions

New

Generate wheel entries instantly with AI — just describe what you need (e.g. "90s horror movies", "team icebreakers", "dinner ideas") and get smart suggestions. Supports replacing existing entries or appending new ones. Includes example prompt chips for inspiration and daily usage tracking.

Improved (2)

Wheel Rendering Performance

Improved

Refactored the wheel canvas engine for better performance and maintainability. Extracted shared geometry calculations, render caching, and angle detection into reusable utilities. Results in smoother animations, faster entry updates, and consistent tick sound detection across all wheel types.

Gallery Wheel Thumbnails & Animations

Improved

The gallery now shows animated wheel previews with a gentle idle rotation that speeds up on hover. Respects your motion preferences for accessibility. Each card displays the entry count and links directly to the wheel page.

Fixed (1)

Input UX Improvements

Fixed

Fixed the Enter-key timing bug where fast typing could lose characters after adding an entry. The advanced entry list now scrolls in a themed container with custom scrollbar styling. Basic text area no longer overwrites your in-flight typing when entries sync.

v2.1.0·March 15, 2026

File Upload Import

Import entries from CSV, Excel, or text files into any wheel.

New (1)

File Upload Import

New

Supports files up to 5 MB with a soft warning at 500+ entries.
