ArenaSwap 2.0 is here, and we may have gone overboard.

We tore PowerScore apart and rebuilt it: six signals now, plus a new Volatility factor that can actually dock points from a game that's already decided. Blowouts stopped faking late-game tension, frozen games (halftime, rain delays) are hard zeroes, and the World Cup final is finally treated like the playoffs it is.

We also grew from one sport to six — 31 leagues total, from the NBA to the World Baseball Classic — with per-league polling that speeds up for thrillers and naps through the boring stuff.

New: Standby Stream, a fallback tab for when every game you're tracking is boring at once. A settings redesign that replaces the 20-item scroll with a searchable index. Sport-specific game cards (real base diamonds, soccer clocks past 90 minutes, actual field position). Logos that never render as a blank hole. Twelve languages, 546 keys each ("go birds" survives all of them). And a tab-switching bug fix so closing the wrong tab doesn't silently kill the whole extension.

Rate us five stars if you've ever participated in the tarps off movement 🚫👕⚾

While the World Cup didn't exactly go as we wanted for Team USA, we still had a great time watching, and more importantly, having fun with all the visitors to the US!

This is a hotfix that squashes a bug causing StandbyStream tabs to stay unmuted, when they really should have been muted.

Stay tuned for ArenaSwap 2, coming before the NFL Season starts 🏈

Go Birds 🦅

This is a small bug-fix update that fixes two more FIFA World Cup-related issues:

• The clock for time remaining on notifications and reason strings no longer reads 0:00
• Fixed a bug causing the "late game pressure" signal to max out in the entire second half

We continue to cheer on Team USA!!! 🇺🇸 ⚽

This is a bug fix update that fixes several embarrassing problems surrounding FIFA World Cup data that could only be discovered once live games have started, namely:

• Upcoming games not rendering
• Current games not rendering
• Clock rendering as 0:00

All of which trace back to how we parse the API data.

Go Team USA!! ⚽ 🇺🇸

Howdy. With the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals approaching, along with the FIFA World Cup hot on it's tail, we proudly present ArenaSwap 1.4, a quality of life update that both improves user experience (mostly by squashing a lot of bugs) and lays the groundwork for the upcoming ArenaSwap 2.0 update later this summer/early next fall (hopefully before the start of the NFL season.)
