This update is proof that one email can spiral into a full revamp: a simple request turned into rebuilt onboarding and much better server management.
What’s new and improved:
•Fixed cases where Kapal could show “no cameras” even though you were connected and cameras were still loading
•Better connection handling: Kapal now detects disconnects while you’re using it and prompts you instead of requiring a quit/relaunch
•Cleaner settings layout (system options moved out of Camera Settings into the System view)
•Server URL testing when you add a server to confirm connectivity and help you choose the most secure option available
•Added a Support button during onboarding if you hit issues getting your server authorized
•Plus a pile of smaller polish and consistency fixes throughout the app
Also introducing Kapal+ to help fund ongoing development, with:
•Multiple servers
•Server priority ordering
•Automatic failover if your primary server goes down
I’ve got a ton of ideas queued up for what’s next. The only big area left that still needs the full treatment is the Events page — and I’m looking forward to improving it soon.
And seriously: keep the feedback coming. If one email can cause this much change, imagine what two could do.
