Video Support

Ever since our web launch on July 20th, Belacam has only supported photos and GIFs. We’ve heard our users tell us how they’d love to be able to create, share, and monetize videos as well. It’s an important step for us as a company to move into the video space.

Experimental: Scroll-to-Top Button

When users scroll down far on the desktop site, a new scroll-to-top button will appear on the right-hand side. When clicked, the feed will be scrolled quickly back to the top. We would love your feedback on this feature! The button does not appear on mobile browsing.

Reduced Barriers to Referral Link Applications

Previously, users were required to confirm their email, deposit 50 Bela, and earn $1 on the site before applying for a referral link. We removed the latter two requirements to make referral links easier to get. Regardless, we will continue to aggressively police the referral for spam and cheating.

Bug Fixes

Added the Belacam logo to the Twitter preview card

Fixed a memory leak on our Celery worker

Increased optimization of our admin control panel

Enhanced the posting form performance, which increased user-facing speed and helps us reduce backend costs
