Changelog
What shipped, and when.
Roughly dated. Some entries are bigger than others. The first one is the smallest — a single screen with a week count. The most recent is whatever I shipped on the last Sunday night I worked on it.
-
- Preg is on the web. The same app that runs on our two phones now builds as an installable web app at preg.blaustfaust.house — open it in Safari or Chrome, add it to your home screen, and it runs full-screen like anything else on the phone.
- An install guide at /install: the iPhone steps, the Android steps, and the short honest list of what still needs the App Store version — the subscription, the Sketchbook, importing shower guests from Contacts, and Apple sign-in. Everything else is there.
- Preg HQ moved to preghq.blaustfaust.house. The old address keeps working — nobody's bookmark breaks.
- The home page and the app tour now lead with "install it" instead of "join the waitlist." The waitlist stays open, one quiet line lower: the App Store listing is still the next milestone.
-
- Preg HQ launched — this site stopped being a portfolio piece and became the home for the whole brand: the app, the Village, a real shop, and resources for the family around a pregnancy.
- The Village moved in: the live family board now runs at /village/board here, identical to before. The original address keeps working — nobody's bookmark breaks.
- The shop went real: Stripe checkout with print-on-demand fulfillment, starting carefully in test mode.
- App Store waitlist opened. RevenueCat subscription plumbing is wired into the app; the listing itself is the next milestone.
-
- Cravings and aversions map gets a search field and a week-filter pill.
- Daily Brief tone pass — Megan said the AI was being too formal again.
- Bug fix: kick counter undo was off by one on rapid-tap sessions.
-
- Shared Sketchbook released: live canvas with five brushes, color wheel, stamps, real-time sync between phones, exportable.
- In-app chat: read receipts and typing indicators.
- EPUB reader: font-size and sepia theme.
-
- Daily Word puzzle gains hard mode and a partner grid that shows progress without revealing letters.
- Postpartum mode visual pass — quieter, more whitespace.
- Recovery tracking screen rebuilt around free-write instead of structured fields.
-
- Games Hub gets Chess (chess.js, pawn promotion modal, check highlight) and Checkers (mandatory capture, multi-jump, kings).
- Scoreboard screen across all games.

- Trends Dashboard now nine sections including the calendar heatmap and the trimester breakdown.

- Labor mode shipped: contraction timer with 5-1-1, hospital bag, birth preferences, partner coaching cards, family-update sheet.
- The Send Labor Alert button: full-bleed amber, two-step confirm, immediate pin to the Village.

-
- Trends Dashboard v1 with mood, symptoms, kicks, and workouts.

- Cravings and aversions map added.
-
- Ask The Books shipped. Vertex AI Gemini 2.5 Flash, Pinecone, six textbooks, ~3,800 chunks, page-level citations.
- Strict guardrail: anything urgent gets a "call your provider" line in the answer.
-
- The Village shipped at preg-app-f22b6.web.app. Cork-board layout, twelve reactions, comments, real-time feed.
- Share-to-Village buttons wired into Journal, Kick Counter, This Week, Cravings, Appointments, and Check-in.
- Labor alert reception on the Village side (glowing pinned card, soft toast).
-
- This Week content shipped for all forty weeks: tagline, baby size note, key developments, deep-read page.
- Likely Next: four cards per week — symptom, milestone, emotional, practical.

How releases work
Most evenings, I push small things over the air through Expo's update channel — so when Megan opens the app in the morning, whatever I shipped the night before is on her phone. The bigger features are bundled on Sunday nights. Bug fixes for anything Megan reports during the day get pushed immediately, usually within an hour.
