EventSpin Changelog
Version history and release notes
v1.2.2 — August 2026
- NewCustom consent text — rewrite the default GDPR consent wording shown next to the phone/email checkbox on the join page, to match your own language or legal team's phrasing
- FixedVarious bug fixes
v1.2.1 — August 2026
- NewSave New Room — duplicate the current room (names, prizes, and settings) into a brand-new independent room with one click, instead of only being able to rename the room you're already in
- NewFriendly room names — once a room is saved with a label (e.g. "Friday Raffle"), that name is shown instead of the raw generated room code on the host screen, the Spotlight display, and the attendee join page
- ImprovedSave Room — re-saves silently with one click once a room has already been saved, instead of showing a confusing OK/Cancel prompt every time
- FixedLoading a saved room — now restores it exactly as it was left (names, prizes, settings, winners history) instead of unexpectedly clearing the name pool
- FixedName list flicker — the names list could flicker/rebuild repeatedly right after loading a room
v1.2.0 — July 2026
- NewNamed prizes — optionally line up a sequence of prizes (1st, 2nd, 3rd…); each spin automatically draws for the next one in the list, removes it once awarded, and you can add more prizes on the fly even after the original list runs out
- NewCSV/Excel name import — load names straight from a spreadsheet's first column instead of retyping or reformatting them into the paste box
- NewOptional attendee contact info — attendees can share a phone number and email behind a GDPR consent checkbox (unticked by default) when joining, so hosts can reach winners about prize delivery
- NewExcel exports — download the winners list (with phone/email for consenting winners) or every attendee who shared contact info, as ready-to-open
.xlsxfiles - NewDownloadable join QR code — grab the attendee join QR as a PNG directly from the host screen
- ImprovedHost/Spotlight sync — the countdown, reveal, and any host action now reach the Spotlight screen in well under a second instead of on a periodic delay, so the two screens never visibly drift out of step
- ImprovedHost screen layout — the join-link box is now a compact strip with the QR code beside the link, instead of a large block pushing the name list down the page
- ImprovedWinner banner — clears immediately when starting the next round instead of lingering on screen
- ImprovedBubbles mode — names now auto-fit horizontally inside each bubble instead of wrapping or spilling over the edge
- ImprovedWheel centre — now shows a subtle animated sparkle instead of static "SPIN" text
- ImprovedSpotlight audio prompt — only appears when Audio is actually turned on in Settings, since audio is controlled entirely from the host screen
- FixedWheel draw accuracy — the wheel could occasionally stop on a different name than the one actually announced as the winner; it now always lands on the correct name
- FixedSettings not saving — rapid changes (e.g. correcting a typo in the event title right after saving it) could silently fail to take effect without a page refresh
- FixedMissed countdown — switching visual mode immediately before spinning could occasionally cause the Spotlight screen to skip straight to the reveal, missing the 3-2-1 countdown
v1.1.0 — April 2026
- NewSave & load rooms — save a prepped room (names, settings) to your license and load it again before the next event, from any device
- NewExtend View — opens the Spotlight screen pre-positioned to fill a second monitor, with a one-click fullscreen toggle
- ImprovedHost device security — claiming a room as its host now requires a valid license key server-side, closing a gap where the license check could be bypassed by calling the API directly
- ImprovedSettings — new "Stay signed in" control for how many days this device trusts your license key before re-checking it
- ImprovedRate limiting — added per-device request limits on room actions to prevent abuse
v1.0.0 — January 2026
- NewThree draw modes — Wheel, Spotlight, and Bubbles, each with its own animation and reveal, selectable live from the host screen
- NewManual & bulk name entry — add names one at a time or paste a list (comma or newline separated), up to 300 per paste
- NewSelf-serve attendee join — attendees add themselves via a join link or QR code, no host action required
- NewRaffle mode — optionally remove each winner from the pool after their round so a new person wins every spin
- NewSpotlight display — projector-friendly screen with a 3-2-1 countdown, live draw animation, and a join QR code while idle
- NewWinners history — every confirmed winner is logged and shown in the host panel
- NewRoom codes — attendees join by entering a 4–8 character room code or scanning a QR code; no account required
- NewHost device security — the first device to open a room becomes its sole authorized host; other devices can watch but not control the draw
- NewDuplicate-name handling — attendees sharing a name (common on venue Wi-Fi) still join, with a number automatically appended instead of being rejected
- NewPer-device join limit — caps repeat joins from the same device to keep the pool clean at large events
