Introduced tier-based format access, preparing the foundation for subscription-based features.
Started work on the subscription model by adding tier-based format access. Some formats are now restricted to paid users.
Format access control
Set up the infrastructure to restrict certain formats based on user tier:
- Free users get the common formats
- Paid users get access to premium formats
- Server validates format access before processing
This is prep work for the actual subscription system coming in the next release.
UI improvements
Made a bunch of small UI refinements:
- Better visual feedback
- Cleaner layouts
- More responsive on mobile and tablet
Nothing major, just polish.
Technical groundwork
Built out the backend infrastructure for detecting user subscription levels and enforcing format restrictions. Added proper validation and error handling for when users try to access formats they don’t have access to.
The pricing/subscription page and payment integration are coming next.
