Hey everyone!

After more than a week of cleanup, refinements, and improvements, I’m excited to officially launch JustLog 1.0.0! 

This marks a huge milestone—while there’s still plenty of room to grow and new features to add, after two months of testing and this final round of improvements, I’ve achieved my main goal:

✅ A simple yet powerful tool to log project updates.
✅ A space where others can do the same.
✅ Built-in gamification to stay motivated!

What’s New?

🧹 Major Code Cleanup – removed duplicate functions for a cleaner, more efficient codebase.
⚡ Improved Caching – posts and projects now load faster.
🏆 Optimized Achievements – reduced unnecessary database requests for better performance.
🎨 UI Enhancements – updated the user dashboard to better display achievements.
📜 New Achievements Page – now you can track what you’ve unlocked and what’s still missing!

There’s still more to come—I plan to refine the points system and add new achievements over time.

Thanks to everyone who’s been following along! Let me know what you think and what you'd like to see next! 🚀

Hey JustPost community!

Now you can categorize your design updates specifically under UI/UX! This makes it easier to separate design improvements from other updates.

• Keep your updates organized – categorize design changes under UI/UX.

• More clarity for your logs – make it easier to track interface improvements.

• Filters coming soon – in the future, you’ll be able to filter updates by category!

Have any suggestions for new categories? Let us know!

We’ve just rolled out an important SEO improvement that makes post slugs more structured and useful:

✅ Unique slugs for posts – each post now has a dedicated and optimized slug, improving searchability and backlink relevance.
✅ Improved backlinks – better slug handling means stronger, more relevant links for your content.
✅ Enhanced discoverability – search engines will now index post updates more effectively.

This update makes JustLog even more SEO-friendly! Let us know if you have feedback or spot any edge cases.

Hey everyone!

• Better error handling – added a Not Found page for missing user profiles and posts.

• Improved emails – new users will now receive clearer, more structured email content.

• Performance & tracking updates – we cleaned up unnecessary logs, updated react-toastify, and optimized Google Tag Manager & Analytics scripts.

• SEO & content refinements – robots.txt got a refresh, and new post titles are now properly trimmed.

These fixes make JustLog smoother, cleaner, and more user-friendly! Let us know if you spot anything else we can improve.

We just rolled out an important fix to make signing up even easier and frustration-free! Here’s what’s new:
