NoteSurge Changelog

design

Everything shipped under “design”, across every version, newest first.

A tidier workflow canvas

v1.87.0 · October 26, 2026

Changed

The canvas now follows light and dark mode, including its zoom controls and edge labels. Each node is a fixed-width card with its kind, name, details and run status, so long labels no longer overlap, and nodes nothing links to are marked not linked.

A command palette that does things, and What’s new

v1.85.0 · October 7, 2026

Added

The command palette now runs actions as well as jumping to sections: write a note, import, open the report or the query console, export CSV or PDF, ask Notey, connect a platform or an AI app, and more. The Overview rail has a What’s new card you can dismiss.

A new look, and tidier screens

v1.84.0 · October 4, 2026

Changed

A new display typeface, a 12px minimum text size, one button style, flat borders, a neutral dark theme, and the app now follows your system light or dark setting by default. Warnings are merged into one Needs attention notice, each section has a proper title, and tap targets are bigger.

Typed SDK, client workspaces for agencies, and white label

v1.83.0 · October 3, 2026

Added

A typed JavaScript client covers notes, scheduling, the Library and analytics. The public API gains top posts and best times. Agencies can create a separate workspace for each client, each with its own connections, queue and Library and its own people and roles, and set a brand name, logo and color that clients see on review pages, invite emails and in the app.

Right-rail "Dispatch" tile now exposes the full repurposing action set

v1.75.0 · September 11, 2026

Added

The right-rail RepurposeToday tile (A1-P9.4) gains an overflow ⋯ menu that reuses the same libraryOverflowActions() seam + /api/library/[id]/* dispatch routes as the Library card — repurposing actions (compose, schedule, newsletter draft, transcribe, suggest clips, recycle) are now available from the tile, not just the Library. The tile's primary button is now platform-neutral "Schedule" (was "Turn into a Note", which actually scheduled).

Right-rail tile overflow menu actions now dispatch correctly

v1.75.0 · September 11, 2026

Fixed

The right-rail "Dispatch" tile's overflow menu actions referenced misspelled OverflowActionId values, so menu clicks dispatched to nonexistent handlers (#848, PR #851).

Pre-connection preview cards no longer drift from real app sections

v1.73.0 · September 9, 2026

Fixed

The pre-connection preview surface was showing stale Queue and Ledger cards that no longer map to real top-level sections (Queue folded into Compose as a tab strip; Ledger moved under AI), and was missing the Settings card entirely. Preview cards are now drift-locked to SECTION_IDS in section-nav.ts via a source-contract test — every real section gets a card, no legacy ids appear (#779, PR #789).

Compare page name links and x.ts blockquote regex fixed

v1.70.0 · September 7, 2026

Fixed

Fixed whitespace around /compare page name-link rendering and a dead blockquote regex in the X text parser that could drop trailing content.

Workflow canvas visual renderer — static read-only graph view

v1.68.0 · September 5, 2026

Added

A2-P1 Packet 1: humans can now visually see a workflow canvas as a read-only graph at /workflow-canvas/[id]. Nodes are color-coded by kind (trigger=circles, condition=diamonds, skill action=rectangles) with labeled edges. The DOM-free buildCanvasFlow() contract maps the existing CanvasGraph wire shape 1:1 to @xyflow/react so the visual surface and the AI agent view never disagree on node/edge identity. This closes the gap where the backend was fully built but no human could see or navigate a canvas.

Library media strip now shows a "+N more" count when truncated

v1.68.0 · September 5, 2026

Added

When a Library card has more than 4 imported media items, the media strip now truncates to 4 visible thumbs with a scannable "+N more" indicator, so you can tell at a glance that additional images/videos/audio exist without opening the piece.

Library card Schedule action is now platform-neutral

v1.63.0 · August 31, 2026

Changed

The Library card inline Schedule button now reads "Schedule" with a generic clock icon instead of "Schedule to Substack" with the Substack brand glyph — scheduling applies to every connected platform, not just Substack.

Library card source badges now show a visible source name link

v1.63.0 · August 31, 2026

Added

The source badge on Library cards now renders the imported platform's human-readable name (e.g. "X post", "YouTube video", "Notion page") alongside the icon, so you can see at a glance where a piece came from and click through to the original.

Ledger is now a sub-tab inside the AI page

v1.63.0 · August 31, 2026

Changed

The Ledger (morning-ritual publishing timeline) moved from a top-level sidebar section into the AI tab as a peer sub-tab alongside Context, Agent, Models, MCP, and Knowledge — the app shell returns to a clean six-section sidebar (Compose, Queue, Library, Analytics, AI, Settings). Legacy ?section=ledger URLs forward to the AI tab.

Fan out action from the NoteCard action row is now Tooltip-discoverable

v1.63.0 · August 31, 2026

Changed

The "Fan out" repurposing button on scheduled/posted notes is wrapped in a Tooltip instead of a bare title attribute, matching the A1-P6.1 discoverability pattern across every NoteCard action button.

Import Hub tagline drops the remaining X-to-Substack framing

v1.62.0 · August 31, 2026

Changed

The Import Hub tagline no longer frames the product as X-to-Substack — it now reads "turn any of them into a Note for wherever you publish," reflecting the platform-neutral post-gate.

The app opens up — no more invite gate, platform-neutral everywhere

v1.58.0 · August 28, 2026

Changed

De-gate wave: the app no longer requires an invite to explore, the left rail is a platform-agnostic Connections list, the right rail is Notey, Settings → Platforms reorders cleanly with a "connect any platform" hero, and the landing copy stopped pretending this is a Substack-only tool. It is a general content harness now.

The Porcelain pass continues: Galley, Import Hub, platforms page

v1.55.0 · August 26, 2026

Changed

The Queue→Galley writing page, the archive/import hub, and the public platforms page all wear the porcelain-and-ink treatment — ink-on-surge controls, engraving plates where they belong, no SaaS shadows.

The app wears its new Porcelain Edition look — a writing desk, not a dashboard

v1.54.0 · August 25, 2026

Changed

Every major surface now follows the porcelain-and-ink design language: an edge-to-edge three-region shell with a book-spine sidebar that finally reaches tablets, a compose page that reads like a manuscript sheet with serif type and ink-on-orange controls, hand-drawn engraving plates paired with empty states, and a right rail where each module has its own shape instead of five identical cards.

One bottom bar in Compose

v1.27.0 · August 23, 2026

Changed

The bottom of the composer used to stack three unrelated-looking piles: media buttons mixed in with scheduling actions, an unlabeled sets strip floating over a bare "Post to:" row, and four different button styles fighting over one action row — with the exact-time widgets wedging themselves between them whenever that mode was on. It's now one coherent bar: a dominant Schedule button on the left, the timing toggle beside it, exact-time controls appearing inline only when active, and everything secondary grouped quietly on the right.

Every platform, one page

v1.26.0 · August 23, 2026

Changed

The Platforms tab used to be three different lists stapled together — connectable platforms as tall accordion rows, plus two separate tile grids for things on hold — so finding one platform meant scrolling and hunting. It's now a single grid grouped by how each platform actually works: Direct-publish (your own credential), Via-Typefully, Passive capture, and Coming later.

The overview column is tucked away by default now

v1.19.0 · August 23, 2026

Changed

The connection/queue snapshot column on the right used to always be open, showing numbers you can already see on Settings and Queue. It starts collapsed now -- one click brings it back whenever you actually want it.

A real visual identity

v1.13.0 · August 9, 2026

Changed

This one’s a full redesign, not a coat of paint: a distinct dark sidebar, sharper type throughout, and, genuinely for the first time, real accessibility support.

Keyboard navigation on every tab control. Proper screen-reader labels on icon buttons that used to have none. A live-announcement region so background actions actually get spoken aloud. Full focus handling on every modal: it traps Tab, wraps at the edges, and hands focus back to whatever you clicked to open it.

Added

⌘/Ctrl+K opens a searchable palette that jumps you anywhere in the app. Faster than clicking through the sidebar if your hands are already on the keyboard.

A real dashboard

v1.6.0 · July 17, 2026

Changed

The sidebar collapses down to icons now and remembers that you wanted it that way.

Desktop also gets a third column: a standing overview rail with connection health, your publishing heartbeat, a snapshot of your queue, and an analytics snapshot, all visible without clicking into anything.

A real app shell

v1.0.0 · July 5, 2026

Added

This is where NoteSurge first got an actual interface: Compose, Library, and Settings as real, separate sections, with a light and dark theme that actually remembers your choice, instead of one long page you scrolled through top to bottom.
