Improvement

System Status Page

A System Status link now appears in the site footer, giving anyone a quick way to check LiveGig's current uptime and incident history at status.livegig.app.

March 15, 2026

Improvement

More Reliable Queue Sync

The musician queue now re-syncs from the server on every real-time update, guaranteeing the displayed queue always matches the true state. Previously, a single missed or out-of-order broadcast could cause the queue to silently drift until the page was refreshed.

Improvement

Dark Mode Support

LiveGig now adapts to your system's dark mode preference. All screens — request page, now-playing, queue, analytics, settings, and billing — automatically switch to a dark color scheme when your device is set to dark mode. No more getting blinded by your screen in a dark venue!

Feature

Free Trial for New Bands

New bands now get a 30-day free trial with no show limits, so you can try everything before committing to a plan. After the trial, only shows that received audience requests count toward your monthly limit — shows you start without any requests don't count. The billing page now shows how many days remain in your trial, or your current show usage once it ends.

Improvement

Easier Play/Decline Buttons on Musician Screens

The play and decline buttons on the queue and now-playing screens now span the full height of each card, making them much easier to tap quickly during a live show. Both screens now share a consistent design with clear visual feedback on hover and press.

Queue Sync on Navigation

February 14, 2026

Improvement

Auto-Reconnecting Queue Updates

The musician queue and now-playing screens now automatically reconnect when the network connection drops, with exponential backoff retry. Previously, musicians had to manually refresh the page after a connection interruption.
