Here is where Dugout Superstars is headed. Core league tools stay free. Inky is the paid subscription extra. RIGHT NOW • Out-of-beta gate: stress-test live drafting (especially salary), mock draft, and a real mid-season waiver claim cycle. Auction and draft-room tools are in; real rooms still decide. • Inky subscription is live ($7/month per commissioner on /inky). Turn coverage on per league, leave article feedback when something is wrong. Still early. • Browser Rio folder watch is live for auto-upload. Report what breaks. Lifetime StatFiles folder upload remains the catch-up path. • Season rollover is confirmed working in a real season. Tournament mode is in. Still tell us if something breaks. RECENTLY LANDED • Inky subscribe page, Stripe checkout / renew / cancel, donations separated from subscriptions on Support. • Per-league “Inky covers this league” for subscribed commissioners (news desk or Newsroom), with paywall subscribe prompts. • Flavor settings, writing indicator, auto-draft hourly cap, nickname view/set/retire. • More Inky beats: games (including score-only and forfeits), series, playoffs, season bookends, trades. • Give Inky feedback on articles (thumbs, tags, comment). • Browser Rio folder watch and one-shot folder sync; lineup edits manager-only. • Smarter mock draft, waiver wire board (needs season testing), rollover roster/pool copy. • Auction and live draft polish, Discord share cards, friendly/personal game pages fixed for public profiles. NEXT BIG BUILDS (in order) 1. Harden drafting + waiver wire → out of beta Finish real draft-night testing and a real mid-season waiver cycle. Smoke-test mock draft. When those hold up, we call the core product out of beta. 2. Polish auto-upload for everyone Browser watch is in. Next is fewer rough edges, clearer setup, and (later) a smoother Project Rio path if that opens up. 3. Discord polish Share cards and paste previews are in. Next: real-league smoke and more reliable game reports / big moments in your server. 4. Deeper Inky Sharper quality from your article feedback, stronger memory across whole league history, and richer moment coverage over time. 5. Deeper team and analytics extras Tale of the tape / pre-game matchup panels, character-based awards, richer chemistry lab toys, lineup / outfield recommenders, and the Events parser that unlocks better swing / advanced stats later. STRETCH IDEAS WE LIKE Caster / OBS-friendly views, weekly pick'em, public standings embeds, Discord slash commands, awards ceremony pages, web push, and hype-moment timestamps on VODs. These are wants, not promises with dates, and they are not required for out of beta. WHAT WE WILL NOT DO We will not lock basic league features behind a paywall. Schedules, drafts, uploads, standings, and playoffs stay available to everyone.
