Changelog

A live, city-by-city economic simulator covering financing, ownership pathways, rent build-up and pilot funnel — 155 European cities, three market scenarios and a citeable frozen thesis preset.

City and country profiles got a v2 layout, a richer data catalogue (Loop 38 + Themes 1-4 → 13 new fields, 496 new cells), an in-Notion 'Refresh from AI' button and a two-way related-content service that keeps cross-links in sync.

Resolved a multi-day production deploy outage by moving to enhanced 16 GB build machines and tidying client/edge bundles. Deploys ship in under four minutes again, reliably.

A quarter of small but visible improvements: rich previews when you share links on social media, smoother mobile filters on cities and countries, and dozens of small fixes across admin and public pages.

City and country profiles now include curated rent levels, currency conversion for cost comparisons, and a coverage view that shows where data is still thin.

Each night, the platform pulls curated city and country data from a shared reference dataset and mirrors the fields you've subscribed to into your tenant's Notion.

Every topic on the platform has its own page that gathers featured resources and opens with a short AI-written introduction grounded in your community's own content.

Instead of waiting for community members to submit, you can ask the platform's Research Agent to find events, organisations, projects and research papers on a topic — anywhere in Europe.

Knowledge resources, organisations and projects now get an AI-written summary backed by real, clickable citations to the original sources.

Every mention of European Housing Coop was replaced with per-tenant configuration, so the same codebase can host different communities with their own branding, content and feature mix.

You can publish news articles from Notion with proper bylines linked to your community members, set up through a guided wizard for new tenants.

Errors caught in production flow into a Notion bug-tracking database, get dispatched to an AI agent that opens a pull request with a fix, and (if tests pass) the fix merges itself.

A weekly AI routine audits the platform documentation against recent code changes, reads the actual code, updates the docs and opens a pull request to ship them.

Your community can now monetise premium features — Stripe handles checkout, individual features can be locked to subscribers, and revenue analytics show subscription growth and churn.

Server and browser errors are now captured automatically, deduplicated, and synced into a Notion database where admins can triage and track resolution.

A consistent set of admin building blocks (cards, buttons, toggles, tabs, badges, tips) now powers every admin page, replacing the one-off styles.

/admin/changelog shows real feature milestones with plain-English descriptions, written weekly by an AI curator that clusters commit history.

The homepage moved from hardcoded markup to a structure where every section is edited from Notion and synced to the live site within seconds.

Nightly automated backups run at 3:30 AM UTC, plus a major housekeeping pass to clean up legacy debug files.

Four parallel browser test sessions, each auto-authenticated, now let the team — and AI agents — exercise admin features end-to-end without manual setup.

A complete newsletter system with a visual editor, signup widget, automatic Notion sync, drip campaigns and unsubscribe handling.

A comprehensive security pass fixed a critical bulk-delete vulnerability, added rate limiting to public endpoints, patched known issues and tightened Content Security Policy.

Set up email through your provider of choice — Amazon SES, Postmark, Brevo or Loops — and edit every template in a drag-and-drop visual editor.

Adding a YouTube video now reliably captures its transcript and high-resolution thumbnail, with multiple fallback strategies when YouTube's own transcripts are missing or malformed.

A complete SEO stack: a sitemap built from the live database, structured data on every resource and location page, RSS feeds, and an admin dashboard showing which pages need attention.

The chatbot grew from a basic widget into a full conversational assistant with voice input/output, persona variants and admin analytics.

Events published on the platform now appear on a Google Calendar that anyone can subscribe to from iCal, Outlook or Apple Calendar — direct sync, no third-party middleman.

A quarter of stability work: automatic recovery from development cache corruption, first-load rendering fixes, email editor refinements and keyboard navigation across the admin.

Submit a Knowledge resource (PDF or URL) and the platform extracts the full text, summary, title and cover image into Notion automatically.

Every AI surface — chatbot, enrichment, image verification, research — upgraded to the current Gemini generation, with a monthly check that surfaces newer models when they appear.

Persistent caching combined with pre-rendered pages at the edge bring city, country, resource and topic pages from 2–7 seconds down to 400ms–1s.

One admin screen to see every member, change roles, run bulk actions and re-sync from Notion People — plus a profile completion flow for members and a custom invitation system.

Every colour on the platform — primary, secondary, accent, success, warning, error — is configurable from one admin page. Dark mode included, contrast guaranteed.

The admin area was reorganised around a clear sidebar grouped by purpose (Content, Users, Communications, Design & Layout, Settings, Analytics, System), with a search palette and breadcrumbs.

Every scheduled job, sync run and webhook now reports to a central dashboard with success/failure counts, durations and metadata.

The Notion integration was upgraded through three API versions over the year, keeping the platform on Notion's current feature set without breaking any tenant.

The Image Discovery tool searches Google, Wikimedia, Unsplash and Pexels for any resource, then verifies each candidate with AI vision before showing it to you.

Events, organisations, projects, knowledge and media all got continuous polish over the year: faster pages, sharper cards, better image handling and smarter search.

When an admin edits a resource, city or country in Notion, webhooks now trigger an immediate sync so the public site updates within seconds — no waiting for the nightly run.

Major performance improvements, real cover imagery, proper filter UX, share controls, and tight linking between resources, events and organisations in each location.

A single polished form adapts to whichever type the contributor is submitting (event, organisation, project, knowledge, media), and detail pages got proper share controls and better cover imagery.

The database evolved through the year — new tables for embeddings, knowledge content, audit logs, drip campaigns, subscriptions, geo replicas — all backed by safety scripts that warn before destructive changes.

The /participate form gained full field coverage, country and relation handling, redesigned UI, session-mixing fixes and graceful handling of empty databases.

Three months of refinements: image manager improvements, PDF title extraction, event filtering, layout polish and dozens of bug fixes across every surface.

A semantic search system powers the chatbot's ability to answer natural-language questions about your platform's actual content.

A pass through the platform's rendering layer cut page payload sizes, fixed runtime issues on the edge, and stopped the rendering glitches that occasionally caused authentication problems.

A complete sign-in system with Google and LinkedIn OAuth, email-based magic links, proper session management and multi-tenant isolation.

The Notion sync gained exponential retry (up to 5 attempts), rate limiting, deletion safety checks and timestamp-based change detection.

The early Notion-sync GitHub Actions workflows were retired and replaced by scheduled jobs running directly inside the platform.

The platform's first months in production: hundreds of small fixes, deployment hardening, Notion ID resolution and image caching.
