Improvements:

• Enhance portfolio management with visibility update feature
• Add trial of one month for pro subscription
• Implement personalized maker recommendations and update search functionality

Bug Fixes:

• display of payment methods in maker price section

Less scrolling, more matching

Head to the home page and check out the new For You feed. It's built around what you search for and who you've already favorited, so the makers you see actually match what you're looking for (price range, style, the works). This feature is only available for logged in users, you just need to create a profile and make some research, the more you make it, the better is the feed !

For the nerds: No, it doesn't use AI at all !

This update comes with a better UI in the different sections, now the makers are displayed horizontally with arrows navigation and wheel gesture !

Hey guys,

After several months of work, I'm really proud to announce that new features related to commissions and portfolios are now available, and you can start using them today, except for the Pro features which will be part of a future subscription. Read the full changelog to know everything you can do.

New Commission System (Beta) — Pro makers

A handful of approved makers can now made their own commission directly on FurFinder. They can build native forms, write their own terms of service, and schedule commission opening windows directly on their profile. These makers are one of the survey

If you see a maker with Pro badge next his name, that means they're able to manage commission natively.
Currently, Pro Makers are: StarFurStudios, HeckHoundzStudio, Go Fur it Studios, Violet Rose and Nocturno Fursuits

Analytics Dashboard — Pro only

Pro makers now get access to the new analytics page displaying stats on profile views, social links clicked, favorites, commission interest and more.

One thing to know: the numbers start from zero starting today, so don't panic if your dashboard looks empty on day one.

Maker Reviews

You can now leave a review for any maker you've completed a commission with and it'll appear on the maker profile. This helps other clients know what to expect, and helps makers build trust on their profile.

Unlimited Photos & Video Uploads — Pro only

Pro makers can upload as many photos as they want, plus videos of their creations (some limits apply based on file size and format).

In-App Commission Requests

You can now send a commission request straight from a maker's profile, no more digging through Discord or email. Only available for makers who've enabled the new commission system.

Homepage Refresh

New sections on the homepage to help you discover makers faster.

Profile Boosting

Want more visibility when you open commissions? You can now boost your maker profile for 1, 2, or 4 weeks.

Check the pricing page to get details.

New Notifications Types (Mail/Telegram/Browser)

Get notified about commission progress, favorited makers opening slots, and more. Choose Telegram, native browser notifications, or both, all configurable in Settings.

Plus a bunch of smaller fixes and improvements across the site.
