CHANGELOG.md

  1. Latest

    Week of Aug 31

    Added

    • Timeline view for social content: posts are laid out by day instead of as a flat list.
    • Per-day A/B toggle in the timeline for switching between a post's two variants in place.
    • Project setting to enable or disable the timeline view.
  2. Week of Aug 17

    Week of Aug 17

    Added

    • Draft social posts from any article or changelog story. Posts are stored and revised independently, so revising a post never modifies its source article.
    • New Social page listing every post in the project, plus a per-post detail page with a revision rail for requesting changes and reviewing stacked versions.
    • Social sections on article and story pages showing the posts drafted from them, including the source's live URL.
    • Approve, mark as posted, or discard actions on social posts. Drafting is scoped to the current project.
    • Project dashboard is now the project home page: 30-day counts for shipped items, changelogs, articles, and social posts with a comparison against the previous 30 days, plus a merged activity stream. Merge activity is capped at half the feed and discarded social posts are excluded.
    • Guided site → you → brand onboarding wizard for new projects. Skippable and finishable at any point; audience and voice traits entered are saved on exit.
    • Setup panel on the dashboard with a first-day checklist showing the real state of each step, links to where the work happens, and a Retry button. Checklist rows announce their state to screen readers, and the panel renders even while the rest of the dashboard is loading or has failed.

    Fixed

    • Publishing individual entries no longer overwrites an existing Markdown file you wrote yourself. The target path is checked first and only written to if it is free or provably ours; otherwise a stable alternative name derived from the entry is used. The path used is recorded, so re-running a publish reuses the same file instead of creating duplicates.
    • Setup checklist keeps updating after a step fails instead of freezing.
    • Retrying the blog step re-crawls only the blog and no longer overwrites the voice, facts, and writing rules from the full site crawl.
    • A follow-on setup step whose job never started is now detected roughly a minute after the crawl finishes and offered a Retry.
    • Social post loading failures surface as errors instead of an empty list or an indefinite loading skeleton.

    Changed

    • The article list has moved to its own page at /articles.
  3. Better topic research with real search data

    Topic suggestions now combine Contentcron's brand understanding with keyword and competitor data.

    • Added keyword metrics to topic suggestions.
    • Added competitor discovery and keyword-gap analysis.
    • Cached external SEO data to keep research fast and costs predictable.
    • Updated pricing to reflect the real cost of producing high-quality articles.
  4. Post-publish webhooks

    Contentcron can now notify your other tools as soon as an article is published.

    • Added project-level webhook settings and test delivery.
    • Added the article.published event for merged and directly published articles.
    • Documented the event payload and publishing workflow.
  5. Run the style pass again

    You can rerun the humanizing style pass from an article without regenerating the whole draft.

    • Added a guarded rerun action to the article page.
    • Prevented duplicate jobs and stale articles from overwriting newer work.
    • Improved reliability after login and during background-job dispatch.
  6. Contentcron is live

    The first public version of Contentcron is ready to take an article from research to a pull request.

    • Added product screenshots and sourced figures to articles.
    • Deployed the screenshot worker for automatic product-image updates.
    • Refreshed the website, documentation, metadata, and sharing images for launch.
