Changelog
Everything we've shipped, newest first. No marketing copy, no roadmap items — just what's actually live.
2026-04 — Monetization revamp
- Money tab. Affiliate links are now a first-class nav surface. Every campaign can attach an affiliate link; every click tracks to dollars per reel.
- Brand-deals marketplace (early access). Creators price their reels per 1,000 views. Brands pay via Meta's official Branded Content API. Payouts settle at T+30 days.
- Unbranded DMs, always. Removed the "Sent via" footer from every tier. DMs now read as if the creator typed them.
- Uncapped daily sends. Removed the 30-DM-per-day cap. Smart queue paces delivery inside Instagram's rate limits so viral reels don't silently drop commenters.
- Currency localization. Payouts settle in USD, INR, EUR, or GBP — set during onboarding.
2026-03 — Inbox + opt-in privacy
- Inbox. Dedicated thread view for inbound DMs from engaged commenters. Scoped to business-adjacent senders.
- "Needs you" surface. Replaces the old "Unanswered" list. Focused on threads that genuinely need a human reply.
- Inbox encryption roadmap. Opt-in sync with the commitment that post-opt-in DMs are encrypted so our backend can't read them.
2026-02 — Integration tests + reliability
- Integration test pipeline. Tests now run against real Postgres and Redis via testcontainers.
- Strict mocks. Added `strict(...)` helper for mocks that must be called — prevents stale mocks from silently passing.
2026-01 — Creator Lane
- Renamed to Creator Lane. Retired the CreatorPilot / "Comment and Chill" identities. New domain: creatorlanehq.com.
2025-12 — Multi-tenant foundations
- Workspaces and multi-tenant auth. JWT with access + refresh tokens. Fernet-encrypted IG tokens at rest.
- arq workers. Background DM sending with 10-second defer (Instagram API requirement) and re-enqueue on rate limit.
- Fly.io deploy. Separate `app` and `worker` processes, region `sin`.
