v1.0.0Apr 28, 2026
Brand kit, webhooks, recap blocks, OG cards, list-page snippet copy
The polish release. Workspace brand kit applies to every standalone embed and email preview. Webhooks fire on every meaningful event. Recap blocks turn last week's votes into next week's content. OG cards make polls inherently shareable. And every block + layout list row has a one-click copy snippet.
- FEATUREWorkspace brand kit (primary, accent, font, brand name, logo) inherited by every standalone block + layout embed and email preview
- FEATUREWebhooks for block_vote, email_capture, cta_click, block_complete with HMAC-SHA256 signing and a one-click test ping

v0.9.0Apr 28, 2026
Layout embeds, email-safe previews, CSV bulk import
Three features built around how newsletter publishers actually work. Layouts get their own iframe snippet, every block gets an image-link snippet that survives email clients, and content imports finally accept CSV.
- FEATUREStandalone /embed/layout/[id] route — one iframe rotates through a layout's blocks by day
- FEATURETemplateActions panel on layouts: copy iframe, copy URL, copy listener, pause / activate
- FEATUREEmail-safe preview image at /api/v1/blocks/[id]/preview.png with per-block-type rendering (poll, reaction, CTA card, text)

v0.8.0Apr 28, 2026
Standalone block embeds: paste a poll on any webpage

- FEATUREStandalone /embed/block/[blockId] route gated by a per-block api_key
- FEATUREBlockActions panel on every block detail page: copy iframe snippet, copy embed URL, copy listener example, open preview
