Enhancements
April 22
AIScene Variety & Brightness
Generated scenes now open with a different angle every time - a subject, an object, a texture, a view through a window, a body in motion - instead of always leading with atmospheric lighting prose. Lighting is picked explicitly per post from a wide palette of bright, clean looks (overcast daylight, midday sun, open shade, studio softbox, clear blue-sky and more), so feeds read luminous and varied rather than all warm-and-golden. News-based posts in Personal Mode now span the same rich pool of real-life settings as your other posts - cafe, workplace, commute, rooftop, home, travel, gym and more - instead of defaulting to a conference room. The Improve Scene button on the manual wizard got the same treatment, while still respecting any lighting, time of day, or mood you already described in your own words, in any language.
April 19 - 21
VideoNo More Blabbering in Speaking Videos
The speaking text in auto-posts, email-to-post, and manual-mode videos is now always intelligently shortened to match the target video duration, using the same AI shortener used by the manual "AI Shorten" button. No more videos that trail off mid-sentence or cram 1,500 characters into an 8-second clip. The shortened text is also saved on the post for debugging and reuse.
VideoSpeaking Videos Use the Right Language
Italian (and any other non-English) speaking videos now correctly pick up the language setting all the way through the pipeline. Grok, Veo, and Kling all receive a single, unified speaking block with a clear language directive, and a "says EXACTLY this, word-for-word" instruction so the AI voices the intended text instead of paraphrasing or drifting off topic.
NewEditor Collaborators: Locked-Down View
When an editor opens a FeedVay board you shared, they now see a focused, distraction-free view: only the Generate, Posts, and Display tabs, no toolbar, no drag/resize, no page editing, no widget three-dot menu. Owner-only surfaces (OAuth connections, personal data, schedule, brand, API keys, cost ceilings) stay locked to you.
UIDashboard Pagination Remembered
When you have many boards and navigate into one and back, the dashboard now returns you to the same page you were on instead of jumping back to page 1. Browser back, hard refresh, edit-and-save, and newly-created/imported boards all land you where you expect.
ImprovedCleaner Scraped Post Content
All HTML entities in scraped article titles, news snippets, and email-to-post content are now decoded via a single shared utility with full HTML5 coverage - around 2,000 named entities. No more "’", ":", or "." appearing literally in captions and titles.
April 6 - 18
NewBoard Collaborators
Invite other LookBoard users as collaborators on your board with Editor or Viewer roles. Editors can generate, manage, and approve posts. Viewers get read-only access. Perfect for working with a marketing manager or agency while keeping billing, approval emails, and sensitive settings locked to the owner. Revoke access anytime with one click.
UIRole Badges on Shared Boards
Boards shared with you now show a clear Editor or Viewer badge on both the Dashboard card and inside the board itself, so you always know what you can do.
EmailCollaborator Invitation Emails
Invited collaborators receive a friendly email notification with the board name, their assigned role, and a direct link to the shared dashboard.
ImprovedLanguage Coverage Expanded
Display and guest-facing surfaces now support 27 languages - added Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Greek, Turkish, Romanian, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Portuguese and more. Guests see welcome messages in their own language automatically.
April 2 - 5
Smart Retry on Social Publish Failure
When a social platform publish fails (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts), FeedVay now automatically retries once after a short delay. Auth and policy errors are skipped immediately - only transient glitches get a second chance. If the retry also fails, you receive a single combined email listing all failed platforms with the error details and a link to your post.
NewForced Branding for Starter Plans
Trial and Starter plan users now get the FeedVay logo and AI disclaimer watermark applied automatically to every generated image and video. Upgrade to a higher plan to use your own branding or remove the default watermark. The UI clearly indicates when branding is forced and which settings are locked.
AIContext-Aware AI Suggestions
The "AI Suggest" buttons for Scene Direction and Message now use your post caption as context. If your caption is about fusion energy, the suggested scene and message stay on topic instead of drifting to unrelated themes. Works in both the wizard and the generation recap dialog.
EmailDigest Emails Grouped by Topic
News digest emails now group articles under topic headers with article counts - matching the clean layout of the News Reader page. Easier to scan, easier to find what matters.
ImprovedUnified Post Creation Engine
Desktop and mobile post creation now share a single generation engine. Consistent behavior, fewer edge cases, and a leaner codebase. Token cost calculation, photo handling, face verification, and all AI-assist functions use the same shared logic.
ImprovedMedia Preview & Download
All media previews (photo library, draft cards, zoom overlays) now use a single unified viewer with reliable cross-origin download. The download button works correctly regardless of where the image or video is hosted.
UIProduct Plan Limits Corrected
All FeedVay, TryOn, Parlor, Health, and HTLApp plans now correctly enforce their intended resource limits from signup. Only LookBoard plans scale pages and widgets with tier - all other products get a clean single-widget workspace.
March 31 - April 1
NewJoin Videos
Select two or more video posts in your Posts tab and join them into a single longer video with a smooth crossfade transition. Creates a new draft post automatically. Perfect for building narrative sequences from short AI clips.
New"Just Tell the Story" Mode
New per-post toggle in the manual wizard that bypasses Personal Mode and Live News for that single generation. Write about a website, article, or concept and get clean, neutral content - no personal facts, no news context injected. Your saved settings remain untouched.
NewNews Topics (Separate from Personal Topics)
Your personal content topics and news monitoring topics are now independent. Monitor "AI regulation" and "crypto ETF" for news without those appearing in your personal feed. Copy from personal topics with one click, or add news-specific ones.
AIAI Topic Suggestions
One-click "Suggest Topics" button uses AI to analyze your existing interests and recommend adjacent topics you might be missing. Never miss important news in your field again.
NewGeneration Recap Dialog
Before generating any image or video, a confirmation dialog shows everything: the photo being used, caption, scene prompt, message, token cost estimate, personal mode status, and all relevant settings. Review before you spend tokens.
NewExtract Last Frame from Video
Extract the last frame of any video post as a still image. Use it as a start frame for the next video to create visual continuity across clips.
NewCreate Video from Image Post
Turn any published image post into a video with one click. The image becomes the start frame and AI animates it into a short video clip.
NewNews Reader Page
Click "Read News" to open a clean, readable HTML page showing all fetched articles grouped by topic. Browse your news sources without leaving FeedVay.
Exclude Platforms When Publishing
When publishing to all social platforms, you can now tap to exclude specific ones. Want to post to Instagram and Facebook but skip LinkedIn? Just toggle it off.
UIToken Display Formatting
Token balances now display clean rounded numbers (e.g. "4,799.6") instead of raw floating-point noise across the entire app.
UIAI Watermark Repositioned
The AI disclaimer overlay on images and videos now appears at the bottom-left, neatly positioned under your custom brand watermark for a cleaner look.
March 29 - 30
NewNews Digest Email
Receive scheduled email digests of the latest news matching your topics - once, twice, or three times daily. Each digest includes article cards with source badges, and a "Review & Post" button where you can generate social posts from any article with one click.
EmailSelf-Hosted Email Receiver
PostToFeedvay email-to-post is now powered by our own SMTP receiver - more reliable, no third-party dependency, instant delivery.
VideoSmart Caption Skip for Lifestyle Videos
Whisper subtitle burn is automatically skipped for non-speaking videos (lifestyle mode) to prevent hallucinated captions. A secondary safety net also skips when fewer than 10 real words are detected.
VideoVideo Speech Control
The "Lifestyle" video style now correctly generates silent videos. Speaking videos properly include your custom speaking style directive (e.g. "English with Australian accent"). All video providers respect the setting consistently.
VideoVideo Trim & First Frame Control
Improved video trimming with smart first-frame handling. When your personal face or attached image is the start frame, trimming is skipped to preserve the intentional opening. Trim dialog now shows accurate video duration.
AIGPT Image 1.5 Upgrade
Face generation upgraded to GPT Image 1.5 with high input fidelity. All GPT Image parameters (quality, moderation, compression, output format) centralized in config for easy tuning.
ImprovedScene Variety for Different Roles
AI scene generation now adapts to your professional role - a news anchor gets newsroom settings, a lawyer gets conference rooms. Removed hardcoded scene prefixes that were causing repetitive framing.
EmailEmail Signature Stripping
PostToFeedvay now intelligently strips email signatures, device footers, forwarding headers, and name/title lines before processing. Works in any language using brand-name and structure detection.
ImprovedPost Caption Quality
Auto-generated and email-to-post captions now use the same rich prompt pipeline as manual creative mode. Posts read like real thought leadership, not scene descriptions. AI hashtags generated for every post across all modes.
ImprovedPersonal Mode OFF
Turning Personal Mode off now fully works end-to-end: no face cloning, no personal photos injected, and scene descriptions focus on topics and settings instead of "a person."
March 26 - 28
NewUnified Post Review Page
All post review and approval flows now go through a single beautiful review page. Edit captions, manage social publishing, view full-size media, approve or reject - all in one place.
NewCamera Angle Variety
AI-generated images now use varied camera angles and compositions - close-up, wide shot, over-the-shoulder, aerial, low angle, and more. 15 different framings with composition rules. Configurable globally or per-post.
MobileMobile Create Post Wizard
Full-featured 4-step mobile wizard for creating posts on the go. Live News toggle, personal photo picker, AI Suggest, elaborate preview with editable fields, face verification, tap-to-zoom on all media, and video duration selector.
MobileNative Mobile Selects
All dropdown menus on mobile-facing pages now use the native OS picker instead of portal-based menus. No more menus going off-screen when pinching or zooming.
ImprovedSmart Text Input Component
All text fields now share a unified smart input with undo/redo, right-click context menu (cut, copy, paste, select all), clear button with confirmation, and full-screen editor for long text on mobile.
YouTube Shorts Media Check
YouTube Shorts approval chips no longer appear on image posts. The system now correctly checks media type compatibility before creating platform-specific approval tokens.
ImprovedHelp & Getting Started Updated
Complete rewrite of in-app help (English and Italian) covering the 6-step wizard, Photo-to-Post, Live News Mode, video message limits, and 50+ supported languages.
Fixes
April 19 - 21
FixShared Mobile Generation Progress
When generating a post from the mobile Create Post wizard and then switching to the Mission Control Generate tab, you now see the same progress bar, draft preview, and status - not a blank panel. Both views share a single generation engine behind the scenes.
FixWidget Right-Click Collision
Desktop right-click to open the widget settings/copy/delete menu is now restricted to the widget's title bar, so it no longer collides with widgets that have their own internal right-click actions (like text editing inside a post card).
FixHTML Entities in Scraped Content
Fixed literal "&", "’", "ó", ":" and similar strings sometimes appearing in scraped article titles and video thumbnails. All HTML entities are now decoded via a single shared utility with full HTML5 coverage before anything reaches the UI.
FixEditor Edge Cases Cleaned Up
Several small gaps in the collaborator editor role were tightened: the Refresh Displays and Copy Display URL buttons now respect owner-only gating, drag-and-click on board tabs no longer fires for editors on locked-down boards, and the media preview modal no longer exposes a delete action to editors who shouldn't have it.
April 2 - 5
FixDraft Restore After Publish
Fixed a race condition where the draft auto-restore could re-populate the wizard with a stale draft immediately after publishing or archiving a post. The restore now correctly runs only once on first mount.
FixGeneration No Longer Blocks UI
Fixed the Create button freezing for 30+ seconds while waiting for image/video generation to complete. The wizard now transitions to the progress screen instantly and generation runs in the background.
FixStale Draft After External Publish
Fixed the Create Post panel showing a stale draft preview when the same post was published or archived from the Posts tab. The panel now gracefully detects the state change and resets.
FixToken Expiry Email Link
Fixed token expiry warning emails linking to a non-existent page. The "Reconnect" button now correctly opens the right board in your dashboard.
FixAI Suggest Off-Topic Results
Fixed AI Suggest for Scene Direction and Message returning unrelated content when the post caption covered a specific topic. Suggestions now stay aligned with what you've written.
FixPlan Limits Not Applied at Signup
Fixed new accounts receiving incorrect resource limits (extra pages and widgets) instead of the intended defaults for their plan tier.
March 31 - April 1
FixSocial Publishing Duplicate Chips
Fixed approval/pending chips appearing for platforms the post was already published to. The system now skips creating approval records for already-published platforms.
FixText Field Selection & Clear
Fixed right-click "Select All" losing selection when the context menu opened. Fixed inability to delete selected text with backspace after using the context menu. Clear button now asks for confirmation.
FixAuto-Refresh Indicator
Fixed the "Auto-refreshing..." chip in the Posts tab that wasn't disappearing when polling completed or was dismissed.
March 29 - 30
FixConcurrent Generation Race Conditions
Fixed race conditions where NSFW mode and other per-post settings could leak between simultaneous generations. All per-call state moved from shared instance variables to per-call scope.
FixStale Settings Before Generation
Fixed a race condition where clicking Generate before the auto-save completed could use outdated settings. A flush call now ensures the database is current before every generation starts.
FixDigest Concurrent Generation Lock
Fixed clicking multiple "Generate Post" buttons on the digest review page triggering parallel generations. A server-side lock now ensures one generation at a time per widget.
FixNews Feed Error Handling
Improved resilience for news fetching: Google News timeouts, dead RSS feeds, and IP-blocked sources are now handled gracefully without affecting digest delivery.
FixShort News Keywords ("AI") Dropped
Fixed a bug where keywords shorter than 3 characters (like "AI") were silently dropped by the topic filter, causing unfiltered results. Now uses word-boundary matching for short keywords.
PerfPosts Tab Performance
PostCard component optimized with React.memo and custom comparator to prevent unnecessary re-renders. Passive auto-refresh keeps the post list current without manual action.
FixMobile Draft Photo Zoom
Fixed tap-to-play on video drafts accidentally triggering the zoom modal on mobile. Videos now use native controls while images remain zoomable.
FixMobile Wizard Live News Toggle
Fixed Live News toggle not appearing in the mobile wizard due to incorrect settings field reference and unnecessary feed count check.
FixMobile Wizard Two-Field Pipeline
Fixed mobile wizard posts bypassing the two-field prompt pipeline and publishing with raw message text instead of going through the full AI generation path.
