Changelog

14 October 2026

Added

• A public changelog (this page), linked from the footer.

Changed

• The RDAP coverage page now leads with what the results mean for you: which popular extensions return an expiry date and which do not, and what to do when yours is not covered.

13 October 2026

Added

• Guides and Compare sections, with an index page for each.
• A guide to keeping a client book, a guide to rebilling client hosting and domains, and a guide to billing small website changes.
• A rebill markup calculator.
• Comparisons of Yven with a spreadsheet and with Notion and Airtable, plus an at-a-glance table across the tools people use for this.
• RDAP coverage by top-level domain: which extensions return an expiry date when looked up.
• Photos on the guides, comparisons and calculator, served in lighter modern formats so pages load faster.
• A Resources column in the footer (Guides, Compare, Help), and the full site footer on the Help pages.

Changed

• The top menu now shows Guides in place of Features. Features is still in the footer.
• Guide, comparison and tool pages use the same width as the homepage.
• The homepage FAQ now compares Yven with other renewal trackers.
• The renewal reminder send time is now described as a setting (8am by default), not a fixed time.

Fixed

• The Compare page no longer scrolls sideways on phones.

8–12 October 2026

Added

• Provider on services. Yven fills in the registrar from the domain lookup, with a Look up button, and links the provider's site from the service page. A built-in provider directory suggests providers by service type and remembers the ones you use.
• Command palette shortcuts. Jump to a section or create something from the search bar by typing plain words. Quick actions for creating items now sit beside Log work.
• Blog at /blog, with an RSS feed.
• Task types. Manage them in Settings, and pick one when you log work. They show in the work ledger, exports, shared work logs and invoices.
• Log work has a duration dial, a billable switch, and a task type picker. Duration defaults to 30 minutes and reads as hours and minutes past an hour.
• Client overview now shows upcoming renewals and recent work.
• Shared work logs have readable links, monthly totals, and a per-client option to show logged time.
• A contact form, a fuller About page, rewritten Terms and Privacy Policy, and one shared top menu and footer across every public page.

Fixed

• Pages and link previews: every page has a share image, and search engines and link previews can read the site.
• Long blog posts are no longer cut short when saved.

Security

• Security hardening.

• A free Client Book template page.
• A 21-day trial on the Solo plan.
