@-Mentions in Comments

@-Mentions in Comments

Good collaboration isn’t about more notifications. It’s about getting the right information to the right people.

Now, @-mentions in Arcweave comments make this easier. Tag team members or external stakeholders to bring them into the conversation exactly when needed, without alerting the whole team.

This keeps discussions focused, feedback actionable, and teams aligned as projects grow in scope and complexity.

Play Mode: embed on your webpage and itch.io

Arcweave's Play Mode can now be embedded directly into any webpage. A simple HTML snippet is all you need. What this means:

  • You can place a fully playable version of your interactive project on your website, blog, portfolio, or documentation.

  • Readers and players can interact with your narrative immediately, without being redirected elsewhere.

  • Once embedded, it stays in sync with your project: updates in Arcweave are reflected automatically.

This is one of the most requested sharing features from our community, and it's now available for all Arcweave users! Let your interactive work live directly where your audience is. 😎
