Here are the new additions to what is coming when we relaunch! This is not exhaustive.

Election Page Improvements

The ever-present Elections are a page we’re continually improving in terms of readability, convenience, and presentation.

• Overhauled Elections user experience bringing active elections and election results together on the same page
• Major improvements to Voting experience
• Individual countdowns to election closing
• More emphasis on major story moments
• Introduced new Election mechanics

Mobile Web Update

Our upcoming iOS and Android apps will offer the best mobile Blaseball experience, but in the meantime, we want you to have an easier time using the site on mobile web, too.

• Updating component layout for mobile web
• Converting sidebar menu to hamburger menu for small screen width
• Small UI fixes and adjustments

API Optimization

Significant changes and optimization of the API means performance improvements everywhere, but especially:

• Schedule loading
• Betting data
• Player & Team info

Base Stealing!

Needs more testing before we’re confident you’ll be able to see it in action during the next Season, but it’s coming down the pipeline!
