Finding the right media just got more precise. Categories in the marketplace now go one level deeper: open a category like "Animals & Pets" and you can pick the exact subcategories you need—Pets, Veterinary, or Wildlife—instead of the whole group. A small "1 of 3" counter shows how many subcategories you've picked, and every selection appears as a chip above the results, so you always see what's filtering your list.
There's also a brand-new "Audience" filter. If your story is meant for expats, the Hispanic & Latino community, the LGBTQ+ community, or men's and women's readerships, you can now narrow the marketplace to media that write for exactly those readers. Offer pages show the category, subcategory, and audience too, and publishers can set all three when they add or edit their media.
Yerkebulan built the filters and the new offer page details, with Pavel laying the groundwork on the backend.
Marketplace Text conditions are now easier to understand: "Provided text published as is", "Publisher may edit provided text", and "Publisher's text only". The "Possible Text Changes" filter is gone, since the new labels already say who writes and edits the text.
Marketplace The "Brands and Their Stories" block on the offer page now features a video from HackerNoon about reaching 4 million readers every month.
Dashboards Sergey brought your avatar to the main menu and the members board in both the client and publisher dashboards—no more grey circles.
