Changelog

0.5.1 — 2026-10-26

Threads conjunction: every post can carry a Threads discussion URL (threadsUrl — composer field, API, and agent-submit all accept it; validated to real Threads links), post pages get Post to Threads share intents alongside X, feed cards show a 🧵 marker linking the twin conversation, and the sidebar links the community's Threads + LinkedIn presence. A cross-post bridge watches for new pins and brings them to the launch thread's home turf.

0.5.0 — 2026-10-26

The launch & scale wave — built the day the launch posts caught traction:

Real numbers, live — /api/repo-stats (GitHub stars/forks + npm downloads, cached) rendered in the sidebar; the only stats shown anywhere are API-sourced

Live Wire — sidebar activity stream from /api/activity, auto-refreshing; the front page shows real motion, not a screenshot of motion

README badge — /badge/<owner>/<repo>.svg shield + a copy-paste snippet on every GitHub-linked post: repos carry the discussion, readers click through (the Greptile/CodeRabbit distribution loop)

Spam defense, conduct-consistent — borderline posts are published but auto-flagged into the public mod queue with the reason shown; composer honeypot silently drops bots

Changelog page — this file, rendered at /changelog

Launch kit — LAUNCH-KIT.md: one-liners, boilerplate, canonical links, agent instructions

0.4.0 — 2026-10-26

The solidity wave: git-backed durable store (OSIT_DB_MODE=github, data lives on the data-live branch), honest seed-data reset (real scores, real member counts, no invented people), UI failure honesty (timeouts, retries, optimistic votes with rollback, double-submit guards), SSR-lite first paint on the Node server + loading skeleton on CDN hosting. 34/34 tests.
