This release delivers two of the most important upgrades yet:

  1. A complete rebuild of the authentication system for speed, stability, and reliability.
  2. A unified payment system with the new Universal Payment Modal, bringing consistency to all event RSVPs and group subscriptions.

Together, these improvements make the platform faster, more secure, and easier to use.

Authentication Overhaul​

  • Rebuilt the entire authentication system with a modern, production-grade architecture.
  • Fixed issues with sessions getting stuck in “loading” after idle time or when switching tabs.
  • Implemented smart local caching with 30-minute session persistence for faster logins.
  • Authentication UI now updates instantly after login, with background verification for freshness.
  • Reduced API calls by ~95% through intelligent caching and smarter event handling.

Unified Payment System​

  • Introduced the Universal Payment Modal that handles all payment flows (RSVPs, modifications, subscriptions) in one place.
  • Improved user experience with clearer cost breakdowns, better accessibility, and trust badges.
  • Fixed multiple RSVP payment issues, ensuring groups remain the merchant of record.
  • Enhanced refund logic:
    • Partial modifications supported with accurate fee handling.
    • Full cancellations correctly process refunds and trigger waitlist promotions.
  • Strengthened database integrity by fixing duplicate ticket records and capacity validation.
  • Improved financial accuracy with corrected Stripe processing fee and platform fee calculations.

User Experience Improvements​

  • RSVP modal now pre-populates ticket selections, enforces ticket limits, and displays proper price alignment.
  • Payment history and invoices display clear, user-friendly details.
  • Cancellations and modifications now work smoothly without hidden errors.

Performance & Reliability​

  • Authentication loads instantly from cache while verifying in the background.
  • Payment flows are now consistent across events and groups, reducing errors and mismatches.
  • Database cleanup and security policies prevent duplicate or orphaned records.

Overall Impact​

  • Faster logins with no more infinite loading states.
  • Consistent payments for RSVPs and group subscriptions.
  • Clearer refunds and invoices for users and group leaders.
  • Stronger reliability and integrity across the platform.

This release marks a major milestone: authentication and payments—the two most critical systems—are now fully modernized and production-ready.
