📣 We redesigned the homepage

Hi there,

You might have noticed the homepage looks different. We shipped a redesign last week, and we wanted to tell you why, because the thinking matters more to us than the pixels.

Why we rebuilt it

Stanza has quietly grown into a huge catalog across sports, TV, movies, and more, but the old homepage made you search for what you already knew. You could not stumble onto the thing you did not know we had: the league you forgot was starting, the show you meant to catch. So we built rails, the way you scroll Netflix row by row, for what is trending, what is on this week, and the teams and shows people actually follow. And we rebuilt navigation around categories, so you can jump straight to your sport, league, or network in a couple of taps.

How we decide what is trending

The rail we are proudest of is Trending, and it is not just whoever has the most subscribers. Every day we scan what is actually happening, the matchups people are talking about, the shows about to drop, then combine that with what we see inside Stanza: which calendars are surging, which have real upcoming events. We refresh it constantly, so a calendar that is hot because of a final this weekend climbs in time for it, then settles back once the moment passes. It is meant to feel alive, not a leaderboard that never moves.

If something feels off, or you wish a rail existed that does not, just reply. We read every one.

Team Stanza
