Platform Update — New Features & Improvements

🔐 Sign in with Google

You can now create an account or log in using your Google account — no email confirmation required. Existing users keep their role and settings. New users are up and running instantly.

📰 Live News Ticker

A scrolling news band now appears at the top of the homepage, right below the navigation bar. It displays the latest announcement with a permanent Read button — so important updates are visible the moment you land on the site.

🎵 Custom Music Styles in Track Publishing

When publishing a track, if your preferred music style isn't listed, you can now submit a custom one directly from the form. Custom styles are reviewed by the team and added to the platform. Tracks with at least one approved style publish immediately — tracks submitted with only new custom styles are held in review until the style is approved.

📋 My Tracks — Redesign & Smarter Search

The My Tracks section received a visual refresh — rounded card corners and proper spacing throughout. Search now works across your entire catalog, not just the current page, and the track count reflects your real total at all times.

🎤 Lyricist Profiles — Latest Lyrics & Tracks

Lyricist profiles now showcase two new sections: Latest Lyrics (published in the marketplace) and Latest Tracks. Since lyricists can publish their own tracks, their profile now reflects the full picture of their work on VibeStage.

🔍 Improved Search in the Lyrics Marketplace

You can now search for lyrics by lyricist name in the marketplace. Results are filtered correctly and the All Lyrics link on lyricist profiles takes you directly to that lyricist's catalog.

🔗 Share Links — Track Pages

Share links on track pages now point cleanly to the track URL, without any navigation parameters attached — so shared links always work correctly when opened from outside the platform.
