Enhancements
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.
SocialExclude 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.
SocialYouTube 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
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.
