StudioDash Approaches Private Beta

StudioDash Approaches Private Beta

Over the past few months, StudioDash has evolved from an internal development dashboard into a comprehensive studio operations platform. Originally built to help manage BarkinMad Studios’ growing portfolio of apps and games, StudioDash is now bringing together data from multiple services into a single, unified workspace.

While development is still ongoing, we’re approaching an important milestone as we prepare for a future private beta.

One Dashboard for the Studio

Running multiple apps across different services quickly becomes time-consuming. Revenue, analytics, search performance, app reviews and infrastructure monitoring all live in separate platforms, making it difficult to get a complete picture of how a studio is performing.

StudioDash aims to solve that problem by presenting everything in one place.

Current integrations include:

• Apple App Store Connect

• Google Analytics

• Google Search Console

• Google AdMob

• Google AdSense

• Cloudflare

• Cloudflare Workers

Each provider is responsible for the information it knows best. For example, Google Analytics focuses on visitor behaviour, Search Console tracks search performance, while Cloudflare provides infrastructure and edge performance data. This approach helps ensure that metrics remain accurate and meaningful.

Refining the Website Dashboard

One of the biggest pieces of work currently underway is redesigning the Website dashboard.

Rather than mixing together different types of information, the dashboard is being reorganised to tell a clearer story.

The focus is shifting towards:

• Human visitor activity and engagement.

• Search performance and discoverability.

• Website revenue.

• Infrastructure health.

• Backend service monitoring.

This makes it easier to understand not just how the website is performing, but why.

Building for Reliability

As StudioDash grows, reliability is becoming just as important as new features.

Recent development has focused on:

• Improved caching and synchronisation.

• Canonical data ownership between providers.

• Long-running stability testing.

• Better diagnostics and validation.

• UI refinements across multiple pages.

• Clearer integration status reporting.

These improvements are designed to ensure the application remains responsive during extended use while presenting trustworthy data from each connected service.

Looking Ahead

There is still work to complete before StudioDash is ready for wider testing, but the project is making steady progress.

Upcoming work includes completing the remaining integration validation, finalising dashboard layouts, expanding diagnostics, and continuing to refine the overall user experience.

Once these milestones have been achieved, BarkinMad Studios plans to begin a private beta with a small group of testers to gather feedback before considering a wider release.

StudioDash started as a tool built for our own daily workflow. As it continues to mature, we’re excited to see it become a platform that could help other independent developers manage their studios more effectively.

We’ll continue sharing development updates as we move closer to the private beta.
