July 2026
2026.07
Post-launch visibility strip
Added a post-launch visibility strip to the home page that surfaces the PH rank, comment count, and review highlights for the first 48 hours after launch. Lets returning visitors see momentum without leaving the app and reinforces the upvote ask for anyone on the fence.
2026.07
Product Hunt upvote CTA
The /launch landing now surfaces a sticky Product Hunt upvote CTA on launch day so visitors land on PH with one click. Pair-plays with the live-state mode and the post-launch visibility strip so the call to action never gets buried under launch-week activity.
2026.07
Launch live-state mode
Launch day flips /launch into live-state mode: countdown replaced with the live PH rank widget, real-time comment feed, and a current-position badge. Toggle is keyed off the launch_settings row so the site returns to the pre-launch countdown state the day after.
2026.07
PH referral widget
Shipped a Product Hunt referral widget on /launch that lets upvoters share their affiliate link in one click. Backed by routes/launch-list.js + lib/launch-share.js so each referral is tracked against the hunter attribution table for ranking credit.
2026.07
Branded OG share cards for /launch
Open Graph cards on /launch now render with branded artwork, the PH launch date in the title, and a ReelMind-tailored description. Generated dynamically per share URL so hunters, comment-leavers, and Twitter crossposts each get a card that reads as ours, not a generic OG fallback.
2026.07
Launch-day social share kit
Pre-built social share kit — tweet threads, LinkedIn posts, and a one-liner for each major surface — ready to paste into launch-day comms. Lives next to the launch checklist so the team can ship a coordinated cross-platform wave without drafting from scratch.
2026.07
Product Hunt countdown on /launch
Added a countdown component to the /launch page that ticks down to the July 29 launch moment and auto-flips to live-state when the timer hits zero. Localized timezone display so visitors see the time remaining in their own zone, plus a calendar-add CTA for the launch hour.
2026.07
Public changelog at /changelog
Shipped a public /changelog page rendering every product update we ship, grouped by month, with stable slug anchors and JSON-LD ItemList markup for SEO. Views/changelog.ejs reads from db/changelog.js; the admin write path at /admin/changelog keeps the feed live without a deploy.
2026.07
Email deliverability verification for launch
Added SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS verification plus a probe sender so the team can confirm Gmail Primary inbox placement ahead of the July 29 launch. Status endpoint returns 503 if any check fails; the probe email fires through the production Polsia email proxy from hello@reelmind.io.
2026.07
Product Hunt launch-day execution checklist
Published the launch-day run-of-show covering pre-launch prep, the first 15 minutes, the 2-hour critical window, and day 2+ follow-up. Cross-references the launch landing page, the waitlist dashboard, /admin/analytics, and the polsia.toml cron schedule.

2026.06
Real-time video upload progress
Chunked 5MB video uploads streamed to R2 now report real progress through fetching, transcribing, and summarizing steps. The dashboard upload section replaced fake timers with a per-step progress bar, percentage, and filename display.
2026.06
Weekly digest — Top Insights
The Monday digest now opens with a Top Insights card built from each summary's key moments, plus two LLM-generated Suggested Next Actions in place of the generic action-items list. Greeting is personalized and the recap is denser.
2026.06
First-run onboarding flow
New users land on /onboarding with a welcome screen that explains supported platforms and accepts a first URL inline. Completion auto-redirects to /app; the skip footer lets returning visitors bypass the flow.
2026.06
Weekly digest email template redesign
Digest template rebuilt end-to-end with platform icons, theme cluster cards, pattern bullets, and an amber action items section. Visual polish deepened — sharper shadows, a richer gradient header, and Postmark-quality layout.
2026.06
Weekly digest opt-in toggle
Users can now toggle the Monday digest from the /app header. Re-subscribing re-enables the email; the underlying preference is persisted per user and the same toggle flow works in either direction.
