Changelog

What's new, what's changed, what's fixed. Newest first.

v0.10.0·

Guides · Scratchpad · Smart paste · AI capability layer

Authority + developer retention + AI foundation, all without adding bundle weight or backend dependencies.

  • Added/guides hub + 6 long-form evergreen articles: why local-first matters, optimize PDFs for email, browser-only image pipeline, developer utilities without leaving the tab, privacy-cleaning files, offline productivity setup. Each article ships with Article + FAQPage JSON-LD.
  • Added/utility/scratchpad — IndexedDB-backed local snippet store. Two-pane editor, search, tags, debounced auto-save, JSON export/import. Daily-use surface for developers.
  • Addedlib/smartPaste.ts — heuristic content-type detector covering JSON, JWT, Base64, hex, SHA-256/SHA-1/MD5, UUID, URL, HTML, XML, Markdown, CSV, YAML. Zero deps.
  • AddedSmartPasteSuggestion chip — surfaces 'Looks like JSON — Format & validate?' style nudges. Pluggable into any textarea; first consumer is the Scratchpad.
  • Addedlib/aiCapabilities.ts — WebGPU + OPFS + cross-origin-isolation + persistent-storage probes via useSyncExternalStore. Pure detection; NO model loaders, NO bundle hit.
  • AddedWhatsNewToast — version-keyed homepage discovery surface. Reads lib/latestRelease.ts; dismiss persists in localStorage per version so the next release auto-re-fires.
  • ImprovedFooter adds Guides as a first-class Resources link; Command Palette adds 'Read the guides' navigate entry and recognises the new Scratchpad as a tool.
  • Improvedsitemap.ts emits every guide URL; tests/routes.test.ts walker skips [slug] dynamic segments and allows /guides as a non-tool route.

v0.9.0·

Workflows · Smart suggestions · Browser extension

Three new product surfaces that turn SnapToolz from a directory of utilities into a connected workspace.

  • AddedWorkflows — six curated multi-step pipelines (Optimize PDF for Email, Privacy-clean PDF, Social Media Image Prep, Combine Images into PDF, Web-ready Images, Sign & Send a PDF). Start once; the file carries through every step automatically.
  • Added/workflows gallery page with hand-written copy, JSON-LD friendly metadata, and an active-run indicator.
  • AddedActiveWorkflowBanner — slim status strip surfaced on every tool page during a run. Shows step progress, current hint, resume link if user navigates off-script, and an always-available Cancel.
  • AddedSmart Suggestions — a heuristic local recommender over recent ops + the workflow graph. Surfaces 'For you' cards on the homepage with an explicit Why? line for every suggestion. Zero ML, zero new deps, zero remote calls.
  • AddedBrowser extension (MV3) — manifest, service-worker background script, popup UI, and an icon set in 16/32/48/128 PNGs. Right-click context menus on text, images, links, and pages. Quick-launch popup with text-input chips for JSON / Base64 / hash / QR / URL / clean. Alt+Shift+S (⌘+Shift+S on macOS) shortcut.
  • Added/extension landing page with four-step install guide, two-permission disclosure, and a 'what's coming' note about store listings.
  • Addedlib/extensionHandoff.ts — tiny base64 hash carrier that lets the extension pre-populate tool inputs without ever issuing an HTTP request with user content.
  • ImprovedCommand Palette now exposes every workflow as 'Run workflow: <name>' plus dedicated Navigate entries for /workflows and /extension.
  • ImprovedNextSteps below tool results now highlights the active workflow's next step as a distinct hero CTA — so the file carries through the saved pipeline even when the per-tool suggestion list wouldn't normally include it.
  • ImprovedJSON formatter and Base64 tool auto-format / auto-encode on arrival from the extension's right-click action.
  • ImprovedFooter surfaces Workflows + Extension as first-class Resources links.

v0.8.0·

Cross-tool pipelines + recent activity history

Lays the foundation: tools can hand a Blob to the next tool without download/re-upload, and the homepage surfaces what the user actually produced (not just which pages they opened).

  • Addedlib/toolHandoff.ts — single-slot IndexedDB Blob handoff with 1-hour TTL and SSR-safe gating.
  • Addedlib/toolWorkflows.ts — per-tool next-step map covering ~25 tools across PDF, image, and creator clusters.
  • Addedlib/recentOperations.ts — IDB-backed operations log (capped at 20 entries, 14-day TTL, user-clearable).
  • Addedhooks/useHandoffReceiver — receiver-side hook with MIME accept filter and single-fire-per-mount semantics.
  • Addedcomponents/shared/NextSteps — 'Continue your workflow' button group below DownloadCard. Stashes the blob, navigates, pre-fills the next tool.
  • Addedcomponents/shared/RecentOperationsStrip — homepage strip ('Compressed 3 PDFs · 4.2 MB → 1.1 MB · 2 hours ago') with per-row dismiss + Clear.
  • AddedWired PDF Merge, PDF Compress, and Image Compress as the three highest-frequency producers — each both accepts handoffs and emits them.

v0.7.0·

v0.6.0·

v0.5.0·

Multi-language support

Site UI, tool labels, and tool descriptions now translate. English, Hindi, Hinglish, Spanish ship with full coverage; Portuguese and Arabic ship with top-priority strings + RTL.

  • AddedFooter language switcher with browser-language auto-detection and localStorage persistence
  • AddedLazy-loaded dictionaries — only English ships in the initial bundle, others load on switch
  • AddedPer-tool translations for all 58 tools across 4 languages (~464 hand-translated strings)
  • AddedArabic RTL support — <html dir> auto-updates
  • ImprovedToolCard kept as Server Component; text-only translation hoisted into a small client island for SSR-safe locale switching

v0.4.0·

SEO landing pages, OG images, and analytics

Programmatic SEO pages targeting high-intent search queries, build-time OG image generation, and a privacy-friendly analytics abstraction.
