Changelog

As mentioned on the credits page, this whole thing is open source, so feel free to check out the repo on GitHub.

But here’s some highlights of when things happened.

January 31, 2026 — Show episode badges on your profile page: when viewing your own profile, you’ll now see the red available episodes badge on your currently watching shows, matching the badges shown on the main shows list
January 31, 2026 — Improve new content detection: shows marked as “waiting for more” will now transition to “next up” when new episodes are added to any non-skipped season, not just when entirely new seasons are released. This catches bonus episodes, specials, or newly-added content in older seasons
January 19, 2026 — Add activity feed to shows page: see recent season reviews from people you follow in a sidebar widget. Shows the last 30 days of activity (up to 15 reviews) with season posters, author handles, and time stamps. Click posters to read full reviews, or handles/show titles to navigate. On mobile the feed appears above your shows list, on desktop it’s a left sidebar
December 24, 2025 — Add optional password authentication: users can now sign in with a password in addition to magic links. Passwords are completely optional and can be set during signup or added later in settings. Both authentication methods work simultaneously, providing flexibility while maintaining the passwordless option
November 19, 2025 — Fix new season detection to respect your time zone: previously, checking for unwatched seasons used the server’s time zone to determine if episodes had aired, which could incorrectly show episodes as available before they’ve actually aired in your location
November 16, 2025 — Reserve vertical space for flash messages to prevent content shifting when navigating between pages with and without flash messages
November 9, 2025 — Add ability to skip seasons: mark individual seasons as skipped to exclude them from progress calculations and available episodes badges. Perfect for jumping into a show at a specific season (like watching only the latest season of Dancing with the Stars). Skipped seasons hide their progress bars and disable episode checkboxes. Skipped seasons won’t trigger “next up” notifications or status changes when new episodes are released
November 8, 2025 — Redesigned seasons list on show page: replaced table layout with a responsive grid showing season posters with available episodes badges. Click any poster to view that season’s details
November 8, 2025 — Available episodes badge: Red notification badges now appear on show cards showing how many unwatched episodes are available to watch. Badges overhang the poster in the top-right corner like iOS app notifications. Shows “…” if 10+ episodes are available, and hover tooltips display the full count
November 7, 2025 — Improved search experience: search now prioritizes results from your library first, and only hits the TMDB API if you need additional results. When your library has matching shows, you’ll see a “Include results from TMDB” link at the bottom to expand the search
November 3, 2025 — Improve new season checker to notify you when shows you’ve added (but haven’t watched) finally have aired episodes
October 31, 2025 — Episode checkbox now keeps you on the episode page instead of redirecting to the season page
October 19, 2025 — Season review textareas now auto-expand to fit content as you type, matching the behavior of note-to-self textareas
October 9, 2025 — Display season reviews in card format on season pages showing author username, star rating, and date instead of just date links
October 6, 2025 — Add in-app notifications for returning shows: when the daily checker detects new seasons for shows you’re waiting for or have finished, you’ll see dismissible “[Show Name] is back!” banners on every page
