what shipped, when.
the recent stuff. dated, honest, written like notes. each line is one thing we shipped: what changed, what it fixes, who it helps.

one place to message your audience, personalized per person
the three old composers are now a single messages screen: pick who (everyone, or a slice by release / country / vibe on pro), write once, send. every email opens with each person’s own name; on pro, from your second message on, we add one honest line drawn from what that person actually told you, never anything they didn’t. and send-now swaps the scary “are you sure” for a 5-minute undo you can edit or pull back, even after you close the tab. - 2026-06-24feature
subscribers you can segment
everyone now carries the release they came in through. the subscribers list shows via <release>, you can filter a broadcast by album, and a per-person {{album}} token drops the right title into each email. - 2026-06-16feature
safer publishing
every link is screened before it goes live (google safe browsing plus a smart check of our own), so a bad destination never ships on the shared domain. the bar tightens for new + unproven workspaces, where an unverifiable link is held back rather than waved through. - 2026-06-11feature
text your audience, not just email
release-day broadcasts can now go by SMS alongside email, to the people who opted in. one-tap STOP is honored at send time; consent is per-channel, never assumed. - 2026-06-04feature
passwordless sign-in
sign in with a passkey (face / touch / device PIN) instead of a password, on browsers that support it. passwords still work; passkeys are just faster and phish-proof. - 2026-05-31fix
honest pre-save
spotify pre-save is labeled capped beta everywhere while spotify approves production access. no overpromising. apple music pre-save stays on the roadmap. - 2026-04-27feature
self-serve DSAR
anyone on your list can now request export or deletion of their data without having a yala account. they go to yala.la/dsar, submit their email + the action, get a confirmation link, click it, done. cross-workspace by design: covers every artist's data they're in. closes the last "mandatory before public launch" item. - 2026-04-27design
calm-card vocabulary across every landing
every audience-facing panel (release / pre-release / podcast / playlist / ticket / bio) now shares one card shape: flat white, hairline border, 1px hover-lift shadow. the colored 4px left bar is gone. the accent only shows up where it earns it (DSP CTA pills + email submit button). - 2026-04-27feature
tap a swatch to set the accent
the palette preview is interactive. five sampled swatches plus a sixth dashed-border tile for the recommended accent (the HSL-180° complement we compute from the dominant). click any tile, the landing's accent flips. recommended tile survives any number of changes: recomputed from palette.dominant on every render, never overwritten. - 2026-04-27feature
email capture, three surfaces
the bio block kept its capture block. release / pre-release / podcast / playlist / ticket links got an email-capture toggle on the look tab: one-click section under the DSP buttons. and the spotify pre-save now offers a single-gesture double opt-in: "also email me when it drops" checkbox under the pre-save button (only when capture is on). - 2026-04-27design
marketing site + help docs
new apps/marketing on :3102 (home, pricing, manifesto, vs-linkfire, features, about). plus 13-page help docs section with sidebar nav. brand voice locked end-to-end. - 2026-04-27design
deep design sweep
wit-bank in copy.ts (time-of-day greetings, round-robin sub-pitches, witty empty/loading lines). chunkier hierarchy on home + auth + workspace + links list. wizard type-tiles got Lucide glyphs and reflow into a 2-col grid. link-edit tabs each got a one-line subline. - 2026-04-26feature
GDPR DSAR endpoints + admin UI
Article 15 (export) and Article 17 (erasure) for captured emails. admin path: workspace → settings → privacy. exposed via the public API too. encrypted refresh tokens stay encrypted; row included in export so the person knows it exists. - 2026-04-26design
link-edit unification
the per-link admin is now a tabbed orchestrator: basics / look / destinations / share / insights. bio swaps in blocks; ticket skips destinations. social-card editor reworked to default-to-artwork with a customize toggle and drag-drop upload. landing gradient killed (flat surface). - 2026-04-26feature
lenient URL inputs
paste spotify.com/track/abc; yala silently rewrites to https://... on blur and on submit. no more "include http://" browser popups. - 2026-04-26doc
cloudflare worker deploy guide
full deploy doc at docs/cloudflare-worker-deploy.md. routine re-deploy is one command. troubleshooting matrix + rollback + KV inspection commands included. - 2026-04-25fix
wizard nested-form bug
adding a service from the wizard preview was submitting the outer form (= creating the link prematurely). nested forms are invalid HTML; flattened the inner adder to a div with manual Enter/click handlers. - 2026-04-25feature
scan-first wizard flow
new in the create-link wizard: preview the scan + edit the destination list in-memory, THEN create. the link is created with seeded destinations in one transaction: no scan_jobs row, no worker dispatch. drops the artist on the look tab afterward.
