What's new.

A running log of features, improvements, and fixes shipped to Galerra.

New

Your galleries now reach more people

A round of improvements aimed at getting your art in front of more people — and making every visit smoother.

  • Opens on every device: If a visitor's browser can't run 3D — some in-app browsers block it — they now automatically get a fast 2D view of your gallery instead of an error screen. No one misses your work.
  • Found faster: When you publish a public gallery it's submitted to search engines within minutes, and your 2D artwork pages are now indexed too — so collectors discover your work sooner.
  • Smoother to walk through: Your character now turns to face the direction the camera is looking, so moving around your space feels more natural.
  • Manage your plan anytime: Every Pro member can now open billing straight from Settings to update, change, or cancel their subscription.

Your artwork — now exactly as you uploaded it

A big visual + performance refresh focused on one thing: making sure visitors see your work the way you intended.

  • True-to-source rendering: Paintings inside the 3D gallery now display the exact colours of your uploaded image — no more warm tint from the room lights, no more muted blues or washed reds. What you upload is what your visitors see.
  • Smoother to walk through: Galleries run faster on every device — especially on retina laptops and older phones — thanks to a rewritten rendering pipeline.
  • Cleaner walls and floors: Fixed those weird dark patches that used to appear on flat surfaces. Spaces now read as real museum interiors.
  • Better third-person camera: The camera frames your character in the lower third of the screen like a proper cinematic shot, instead of putting their back in the centre. And when a wall gets between you and the camera, it now fades out so you can always see yourself.
  • "Contact the artist" button is always visible: Even when an artwork is priced as "On request", visitors can still reach out — you'll always get the chance to start a conversation with potential collectors.
  • Sharper artwork detail: Brushwork stays crisp even when you look at a painting from an angle, instead of going blurry.

Galerra for Education (Beta)

Professors can now create classrooms and invite students to build 3D galleries together. Free for up to 5 students, or upgrade for a full class of 40.

  • Classrooms: Create a classroom from Education or from Settings. Share an invite link with your students.
  • Student Dashboard: Students see their classroom, classmates, and galleries. Professors see all student work in one place.
  • Educator Plan: €29.99/month or €139.99/semester for 40 students. Students in paid classrooms get Pro access automatically.
  • Promo Codes: All checkout pages now support promo codes.
  • Gallery Limits: Pro users can now have up to 5 galleries with 46 artworks each (200 total asset cap).

Browse Artworks, Follow Artists & More

Big update. You can now browse artworks without entering the 3D gallery, follow your favorite artists, and save galleries for later.

  • Artworks Page: Every gallery now has a 2D artworks page. Browse all pieces, see prices, click for details — no 3D required. Look for the "See Artworks" button on any gallery card.
  • Follow Artists: Hit Follow on any artist's profile or gallery page. Then use the "Following" filter on Explore to see only their work.
  • Save Galleries: Bookmark galleries you love. Save them from inside the 3D gallery and find them later.
  • Free Plan Upgrade: Free accounts now get up to 10 artworks per gallery (was 5). More room to showcase your work.

Gallery Analytics is Live

From now on, you can see your gallery analytics. Go to SettingsAnalytics and you'll see everything — views, unique visitors, which paintings people click, and where your traffic comes from.

All data is anonymous. No cookies, no personal info. Just the numbers that matter.

1,000 Artists & What's Next

We've reached 1,000 artists on Galerra. Thank you to every single one of you who uploaded your work, shared your gallery, and gave us feedback. This milestone means the world.

Here's what we've been working on and what's coming next:

  • Infrastructure Upgrades: We've been optimizing our servers and CDN to reduce loading times. Galleries now load faster, especially on mobile and slower connections. Our goal is zero lag when entering a 3D space.
  • Gallery Analytics (Coming Soon): We're building a dashboard that shows you exactly how your gallery is performing — total views, views per artwork, where your visitors come from, and which pieces get the most attention. You'll finally know if people are actually seeing your work.
  • Refreshed Settings & Edit Pages: We've completely redesigned the gallery settings, edit, and profile pages with a cleaner tab-based layout. Everything is simpler and faster to use.
  • Improved Create Flow: Gallery creation now includes a category picker (Photography, Digital Art, Traditional Art, etc.) and clearer limit indicators for free plan users.

More updates coming soon. Keep creating — we're building this for you.

Artwork Inquiries & Activity Feed

Interested collectors can now reach out to you directly from inside the gallery — no emails to hunt down, no forms to fill out elsewhere.

  • For collectors: Walk up to any artwork with a price, click it, and hit "Inquire About This Piece". Leave a name, email, and a short message. That's it.
  • For you: The bell in the top bar lights up the moment someone reaches out. Click it to see who messaged you and reply to them directly by email.
  • Your Activity page: A clean inbox for everything — inquiries, sticker notifications, all in one place. Check it out here.
  • Stay on top of it: Each inquiry shows whether it's new, replied to, or sold — so nothing slips through.

Add a price to any artwork to start receiving inquiries.

A Note from the Developer

"I'm building Galerra as a solo dev, so your feedback means the world to me. Many of these updates came directly from your suggestions — I'm doing my best to implement them and squash bugs as fast as I can. Keep 'em coming! ✨"

Edit Gallery Page

Big update to how you manage your galleries:

  • Refined Layout: A clean, tabbed interface separates "Settings" from "Artworks" for a more focused workflow.
  • Advanced Asset Details: Edit title, year, price, and description for any image (new or existing) in a dedicated modal.
  • Mobile-First Controls: Persistent edit and delete buttons on every artwork card for easy management on touch screens.
  • Seamless Switching: Jump directly between editing gallery details and the 3D space editor with a single click.
  • Cover Image Picker: Choose which image represents your gallery by clicking on it in the settings tab.

iPhone HEIC Support

We've added support for Apple's High Efficiency Image Format (HEIC), making it easier to upload photos directly from your iPhone.

  • Direct Uploads: You can now select and upload .heic files directly from your library without needing to convert them to JPEG first.

Notifications, Controls & Performance

Gallery owners now get notified when visitors leave stickers, the in-gallery controls guide got a visual overhaul, and multiplayer presence is smarter about network usage.

  • Notification Bell: A new bell icon in the header shows unread notifications with a badge count. Clicking a notification marks it as read and takes you to the gallery.
  • Real-time Notifications: Notifications appear instantly when someone leaves a sticker — no page refresh needed.
  • Mark All Read: Clear your unread count with a single tap from the notification dropdown.
  • Controls Redesign: The in-gallery "How to explore" guide now uses a card-based layout with a visual WASD keyboard, grouped touch controls, and feature cards for stickers and voice.
  • Smarter Presence: Multiplayer heartbeat requests now skip when you're standing still, dropping network traffic by ~70% while idle.

v0.2.0 — Version Tracking & Sticker Fix

App version is now visible across the platform so you always know what build you're running.

  • Version Badge: Shown in the footer on every page and in the gallery viewer (bottom-left). Links to this Updates page.
  • Sticker Mode Fix: Sticker mode now toggles off immediately after placing a sticker, instead of waiting for the database save to finish.

Wall Stickers

Galleries now have a spatial guestbook. Visitors can leave emoji stickers with optional messages directly on gallery walls.

  • Leave a Sticker: Tap the floating button at the bottom of any gallery, then tap a wall to place an emoji sticker with an optional message and your name.
  • Persistent: Stickers are saved and visible to all visitors — no account required to leave one.
  • Owner Controls: Gallery owners can tap any sticker and remove it.
  • Sticker Look: Stickers render as compact cards with a white background, slight random tilt, and text directly on them — distinct from artworks.

Mobile Audio & Navigation

Refined the mobile experience for better control over gallery visits.

  • Streamlined Audio Controls: Moved microphone and volume controls to the main action stack for easier access and a cleaner view.
  • Live Indicator: Added a high-visibility green pulse animation to the microphone button so you always know when you're live.
  • Online Count: Moved the visitor count to a discreet indicator in the top-left corner.
  • Navigation: Added this Updates page to keep you informed about what's new.

Swiss Brutalist UI

A major visual overhaul brings the "Swiss Brutalist" aesthetic to more parts of the platform.

  • Pricing Page: Redesigned with hard edges, bold typography, and high-contrast layouts.
  • Create Flow: Simplified the gallery creation process with a focus on typography and spacing.
  • Performance: Optimized asset loading for faster gallery entry.
