Version 0.6.6 — Event Promotions, Ticket Transfers & Major UI Overhaul

Hey everyone 👋 Been trying to push myself a lot recently to get this to launch ASAP! I've got 2 more venues committed to the platform and have inadvertently started Friends & Family funding 🥳 Funding is set to close at $100,000 in the form of 10 SAFEs. Ill make sure to include some pics of the SAFE so you guys can get a glimpse of how I'm going about it.

This release is a large-scale improvement across event management, ticket ownership, mobile responsiveness, and overall UI structure. A lot of components were refactored to improve long-term maintainability while introducing two major systems: Event Promotions and Ticket Transfers.

• Configurable promotion radius: 25, 50, or 100 miles

🧠 Why This Matters

This release strengthens both the business side (event promotion + ticket ownership flexibility) and the user experience side (mobile stability + layout consistency). It’s one of the heavier infrastructure updates, but it makes the platform feel more complete, scalable, and production-ready.

• Cleaner session serialization and deserialization
• Fixed production-only session bugs and warnings This significantly improves stability in real-world usage.

🏥 Server & Infrastructure Fixes

• Health check endpoint moved to /api/health to avoid dev conflicts
• Fixed production user creation errors

• Database performance improvements applied Result: fewer crashes, cleaner logs, smoother deployments.

📦 Shared Code Got a Big Boost

• The shared package continues to grow.
