Marketing
Banner
New banner for non-subscribers as they scroll starter screen : One? (with strikethrough) No. Infinity. → Subscribe (button). This is a fantastic upgrade to the previous banner and was created with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. It's a neat CTA (call to action) that will have amazing CTRs (clickthrough rates).
Footer
~Footer looks much more professional now! Everything looks like an actual professional footer for a real corporation would. Looks incredible.
~Welcome Saucy Radio with the vibes! (at the very bottom)

Marketing
Added The Problem/The Solution with the billions logic. It's purposely put right under the first scroll so people know the depth of value they're getting with Saucy. The price of Saucy is justified based on what streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney Plus charge. Saucy is pay what you want because movies are just one small part of Saucy. So you pay the justified price comparable to movie streaming platform prices, but pay more for infinite values if you want.
Research
Researching the overdue collapse of the 9-5 job, the rise of the creator economy, why search engines seem to be struggling against things like ChatGPT/Google Gemini as well as too many ads, the problem with streaming services becoming more like cable with less content and higher prices, & the meteoric rise of companies to billion dollar giants in only a few years or so. New companies scale way faster than traditional companies could.
Added :
~Create Plants : Create 3D models of plants.
~Internet Speed : Check the speed of your internet connection.
~Mushrooms : Mushroom ID database for mushroom lovers.
~Pray : Pray every day.
~Questions : Search for questions to ask.
~Theme Songs : Theme songs for TV shows.
~User Manuals : User manuals online database search.
Removed :
Saucy "Everything" from search. Search is only for values, not things pertaining to Saucy like our about pages and things you won't be searching for while searching for values. Value searching is the main user action at Saucy. All our help pages etc. are linked elsewhere, so it doesn't make any sense to continue to confuse the two.
Routes/Values Cleanup
Across the entire app, a lot of routes and values with broken links or failed project have been switched to new ones, which leads to a much better Saucy experience. As always, you can report broken links in app.
