Arcade

Y Combinator's Work at a Startup is still the best place to, well, work at a startup. But there are plenty of non-YC startups building incredible things like Ambrook, Plain and Arcade. Many of these startups are harder to find (especially without a network) We created Startups Gallery to make it easier to discover outstanding, early-stage startups + their open roles. Just type the role you want and search 5,500 early-stage roles across 740+ of today’s most promising companies. It's a great time to join a startup 🚀

Today, we're announcing a big update: AI-Powered Content Generation powered by Avery! We've quietly been testing this with our design partners and customers, and we've been hearing amazing feedback and seeing record publish rates. Building great content is hard. It takes time, many iterations, and upfront investment. That's why we're excited to announce Arcade Avery -- a faster way to build great Arcades. Take it for a spin today, or give us feedback.

We're announcing something big next Monday....

Changelog 2.4.25: Features: 🎶 We've found that Arcades perform better and are more engaging with music, but it used to be a hassle to find royalty-free music to upload to your Arcades. We've now added a small library to select background music from our Arcade music library! Give us feedback via the Arcade below 👇. ✏️ We've enabled markdown for all user generated text areas - you can now link to, italicize, or bold text within your Arcade's description, chapter title, or other areas. This is particularly useful for when you want to give context about other documentation, or links when viewing the Arcade. Improvements: ⚠️ When an Arcade creator deleted an Arcade that was embedded somewhere (whoops!), viewers would see an embedded 404 page. That's not a good look! We now warn creators before deleting Arcades that are embedded, and changed the design of the embed so that even after deleting it's clear that the creator has deleted the Arcade. 🥚 An easter egg for those following - we've done an AI content roll out, and made it so that we automatically translate the AI output in the Arcade's language. 🚊 We've bumped up speed of video snippets when the creator is typing to be 2x speed. Bug fixes: Some exports were being stretched, so we fixed the aspect ratios. https://lnkd.in/g3iHJv4i

Arcade Changelog Jan 28 2025: Improvements: 1. The embed modal is now responsive. 2. We made it clearer that the Arcades with forms can't be exported. 3. We have enforced SSO authentication for domains. 4. We have added (copy) in front of the title for an Arcade duplicate, to make it clearer that it's a duplicate. Bug fixes: 1. We fixed the UI sidebar tab, with the outline no longer being cropped. 2. We shipped a fix to not have double notifications. 3. We shipped a fix to allow a creator to continue recording the Arcade if they pause the recording and navigate away for a bit. 4. We shipped a fix for when the user cannot record a voiceover. https://lnkd.in/gP6mK2hc
