Product updatesv0.3.0

What's New

The largest change since launch. Every browse page now remembers where you were and puts it in the address bar, memories hold each person's own rating and note instead of blending them, the private trip workspace is open, and the site tells the truth about what it can do in one place.

Created

Memories now keep each person's own rating, note, and answer to whether they would go back. Two views sit side by side and are never averaged into a score that belongs to nobody.
Pass — a clearly labelled way to say no to something. It retires the item from suggestions and keeps the record of who decided, and when.
Our Trips: a private workspace for the trips the two of you are actually taking, with days and stops that point at catalog items rather than copying them.
A Ready home layout that leads with what you could do this week, added alongside the existing layouts rather than replacing anyone's choice.
A taxonomy that runs through every section — eight category maps and 175 entries — so a thing is filed the same way wherever you meet it.
A repository-owned project tracker and a written Project Philosophy, so what is true about this product survives a chat window closing.

Fixed

Opening a photo no longer downloads the full-size original. Some were 5 to 20 megabytes for an image shown at a fraction of that size.
Explore no longer crashes when a filter or sort value arrives in an unexpected shape from the address bar.
Draft bucket lists preview correctly for the owner again instead of returning a not-found page.
Admin pages are now refused at the edge and on the server, not only hidden in the interface.
Every existing memory was attributed to the person who wrote it. Three legacy rows moved, none were guessed at, none were deleted, and the change can be read back.
Broken gallery images have a repair path that checks a picture's licensing before it is used.

Upgraded

Explore, bucket lists, watching, seeing, reading, listening, games, dreams, questions and activities all share one browse contract: the same filters, the same sorting, the same pagination, and the whole view held in the address bar so a link opens where you left it.
A design-system pass across those sections — one set of cards, controls, shadows and spacing instead of nine dialects of the same idea.
The design handoff that shaped this work is archived in the repository, so the reasoning behind a screen is readable next to the screen.
Release notes now carry a state saying whether you can actually use each release today.

Faster discovery, clearer sharing

v0.2.0

Public & liveJuly 24, 2026, 11:08 AM MST

Adventures Together now opens its largest discovery pages in smaller, faster batches, gives every Together section its own shareable identity, and brings the supporting interface into one consistent design system.

Created

A dedicated title and description for every Together section, so shared links explain where they lead.
Richer bucket-list link previews that can use an item image when a list does not have its own cover.
A clear remaining-work page that separates product choices, engineering follow-ups, and ideas intentionally saved for later.

Fixed

Game discovery no longer sends the entire catalog on first load, and voting no longer refreshes the broad catalog result.
Seeing, Listening, and Activities now load 30 ideas at a time instead of preparing hundreds of cards at once.
Detail windows now share reliable keyboard focus, Escape-to-close, backdrop dismissal, and focus restoration behavior.
Leftover interface emoji and off-system colors were replaced while preserving emoji that belong to user content.

Upgraded

Discovery reads now use indexed pagination, reducing unnecessary database and browser work as the catalog grows.
Loading-more states, responsive controls, cards, shadows, icons, and admin surfaces now follow the same visual language.
The production release completed its live backend verification, full automated checks, and guest journey board.

Initial release-log baseline

v0.1.0

Public & liveJune 19, 2026, 9:21 AM EDT

This baseline makes the standard Adventures Together release log available and gives future releases a clear, versioned place to explain what changed.

Created

A public What's New page at /updates with the current app version, release date and time, summary, and release sections.
A local release-notes data source that future updates can maintain without rewriting the page layout.
Low-clutter What's New links in the desktop footer and mobile app menu.

Fixed

The standard /updates destination now resolves to a real page instead of a missing route.

Upgraded

Release notes now follow the shared Created, Fixed, and Upgraded structure used across Scott portfolio projects.
Public release notes stay focused on user-visible changes and keep internal proof details out of the page.
