BUILD LOG
Every update, feature, and tool — documented as the platform evolves.
All revenue figures in Studio now reflect NET amounts after Stripe processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per charge). Each direct sale carries a processedVia field (stripe / cash / venmo / zelle / other) so non-Stripe payments aren't fee-deducted. Subscription revenue from the Stripe balance is already net by design.
Studio Sales Ledger now shows revenue per book — direct sales priced from each book's salePrice, plus an attributed share of total subscription revenue split equally across the writer's books. Books in the registry now carry a salePrice field (default $1.50).
New direct-sales tracker on the Studio Analytics tab. Logs off-platform copies sold per book, combines with Stripe revenue in the Books Sold and Revenue stat strip, and shows recent sales with date, channel, and amount.
Homepage primary action now points to Writer Profiles (MEET WRITERS) and secondary action routes to the Publish page (Submit manuscript).
