This was the month OnTheButton grew from a single card room into a platform. The engine that ran one home game now runs many card rooms side by side, each with its own members, history, settings, and look. If you host, that means your room is yours — your name, your people, your records — while everything that already worked keeps working exactly as before.
Notifications now carry per-card-room branding. When your room emails a game invite, an RSVP nudge, or a personal recap, it goes out under your room's name and identity rather than a generic one. Nothing to configure at the table — set it once and every message follows.
Running tournaments? Hosts on Pro can now import Tournament Director results by CSV, so a night's finishing order and points land in your standings without re-typing a single row. It slots straight into the season and leaderboard tools you already use.
We added a proper privacy surface: any member can export their own information, and both accounts and whole card rooms can be deleted self-serve. Deletion isn't instant destruction — there's a grace window first, and the shared game ledger stays intact so a departure never corrupts everyone else's history. New Terms and Privacy pages spell out plainly what we collect, how long we keep it, and how to get it removed.
The built-in AI assistant is now available to members and hosts for quick questions — "when's the next game?", "what are my stats?", "how do I settle up?" — with usage tiers that keep it fair for everyone on a card room.
New hosts get guided empty states: instead of a blank screen, the app points you from creating your room to scheduling your first game and inviting your regulars, so the first session comes together in minutes.
Plenty of this month went into work you'll never see directly — reliability and privacy hardening, tighter separation between card rooms, and behind-the-scenes error monitoring so problems get caught and fixed faster. The best version of this kind of work is the version you never notice.
More next month.
