July 2, 2026
Personas list — App and Community buttons now visible on desktop
The App and Community launch buttons were clipped out of view in the roster (list) layout on typical desktop viewports because the 7-column grid minimum width exceeded the space left over after the admin rail sidebar.
July 1, 2026
Guardrails for free self-serve signups
Ahead of opening the Free plan, we made sure premium and paid-only features stay paid-only, and tightened a few things that a wide-open signup could strain.
July 1, 2026
Free plan self-serve signup and welcome email
New visitors can now sign up for the Free plan on their own and get a welcome email, the same way paying members always have.
July 1, 2026
Measure Free-plan sign-ups by entry point

June 29, 2026
Admin feature requests get the same status lifecycle as bugs and questions
The Bug Desk's Features tab now uses the exact same five-state status enum as bug reports and questions, so all three desks finally speak one status vocabulary.
June 29, 2026
Sharing a GF Find to Facebook now shows the find, not a bare link
Sharing a GF Find to Facebook (and any Open Graph target) now renders a card describing the actual find — product, store, and price — instead of the generic app link.
June 29, 2026
Share a GF Find now survives the Discord share sheet
Sharing a GF Find to Discord (and other OS share-sheet targets) now carries the full note plus the link, instead of arriving as a bare link with no context.
June 29, 2026
Sharing a GF Find by email now arrives with a subject and body
Share a GF Find now has a dedicated Email button that always composes a message with a real subject line and body, instead of the blank email the OS share sheet produced.

The "Share a GF Find" screen's social button now reflects X's rebrand from Twitter.
June 29, 2026
Tag a bug report by which site it's on

June 29, 2026
Resources nav "Log in" relabeled to "Log into App"
Clarifies that the Resources-site sign-in link sends you to the Gluten Hero app, not the Resources site itself.
June 29, 2026
Fix Resources hamburger menu spilling open on mobile
The Resources site nav no longer spills its desktop links out next to the hamburger button on phones — returning visitors now always get the matching stylesheet.
June 27, 2026
"← All resources" exit link on the HSA/FSA Eligibility Quiz
The HSA & FSA Eligibility Quiz now carries the same standardized top bar as the rest of the resources tools, with a clear way back to the library on every screen.
June 27, 2026
Personalized share links that don't arrive empty
The "Share with a friend who has celiac" button now sends a complete, personalized message on every resource — fixing the empty/half-empty emails and giving each tool its own one-liner.
June 27, 2026
Search results reflect resource title edits immediately
When a resource's name is updated, the resources-home search results now show the new name right away instead of waiting for the next site rebuild.
June 26, 2026
Admin questions get the same status lifecycle as bugs
The Bug Desk's Questions tab now uses the exact same five-state status enum as bug reports, so every desk speaks one vocabulary instead of each one tracking work differently.
June 26, 2026
Persistent "← All resources" exit link on every tool
Every calculator, tracker, and quiz on resources.glutenhero.net now has a consistent top bar with a clear way back to the resources library — no more dead ends.
June 24, 2026
"Log in" links from the resources site no longer 404 for signed-in users
Following a "Log in" link to glutenhero.app/login while already signed in now lands you on your dashboard instead of a "Page not found" screen.

Reconciled our migration log with what's actually live
Confirmed the Concierge wizard and Workplace Accommodation Letter Pack are fully registered in the live resource library and corrected our internal records to match.
June 24, 2026
Receipt scanning no longer breaks on a stray space in its API key
Hardened the receipt scanner so an invisible trailing space or newline in its stored API key can't quietly turn every scan into an error.
June 24, 2026
A friendlier 404 for the resources hub
When a link on the resources hub goes stale, visitors now land on a branded Princess Dot page instead of a blank platform error.
June 24, 2026
Searching the Resources library by format (calculator, letter, quiz…) now works
Searching the Resources hub for a kind of resource — "calculator", "letter", "quiz", "download" — now returns every resource of that format, not just ones that happen to use the word in their description.
June 17, 2026
Fix app subscription webhook silent failures and add sale notifications
Subscription payments ($79 founding annual, $99 standard annual, $12 monthly) now correctly update the subscriber's account and ping #admin-desk on Discord — previously they failed silently with no visibility.
June 17, 2026
Managing your subscription is clearer and never errors out
The Billing page now sends each member to the right place to manage their plan, and a confusing error message is gone.
June 17, 2026
Search the Resources library and your results come to you
The moment you search or pick a filter on the Resources homepage, the browse sections fold away and your results jump up directly under the search — no more scrolling past the callout, tiles, and featured row to find what matched.
June 17, 2026
A sticky search bar follows you down the Resources library
Search the Resources hub from anywhere on the page — a slim search bar now slides in from the top once the hero search scrolls away, carrying the query, audience filters, a live result count, and a one-tap way out of search.
June 16, 2026
Demo personas now show their real plan — and can't silently regress
Launched demo personas read their billing tier from real app data, so Free, Monthly, Annual, and Founding Member personas each show the right plan instead of all reading "Founding Member."
June 15, 2026
Help center now actually swaps content when you switch topics
Switching topics or articles in the help center now reliably shows the new content instead of leaving the old cards on screen.
June 15, 2026

June 13, 2026

June 13, 2026
Card Catalog smoke test text layout and typography restored
The Help Section smoke test at `community.glutenhero.net/admin/smoke-tests/card-catalog-c5s2` had two layout issues: text appearing squished/compressed in narrow lines, and missing Google Fonts preventing proper typography rendering.
June 13, 2026
Concierge Wizard + Workplace Accommodation Letter Pack
Two new React resources ship on resources.glutenhero.net — a 3-question triage wizard for newly diagnosed patients and a six-letter accommodation template pack for navigating workplace requests.
June 13, 2026

A short, no-account wizard that asks three quick questions and points you to the three resources that fit where you are right now.

June 13, 2026

June 13, 2026
Form field autofill system for browser recognition
Browsers can now recognize and autofill form fields across all Gluten Hero forms (Letters, lead magnets, app) by implementing a systematic naming convention and automatic hint derivation.
June 13, 2026
Founding Member sign-up hardened against a hidden key slip
The same behind-the-scenes key that the persona fix uncovered also powers Founding Member sign-ups, so we made that path tolerant of the invisible copy-paste slip that caused the original trouble.
June 13, 2026
Help center category and article pages refresh content on SPA navigation
Fixed a bug where Help center pages showed stale content when navigating between categories or articles via sidebar links. The issue affected both `/help/category/:cat` and `/help/:slug` routes: the `vite-react-ssg` loaders only run at build time, so client-side navigations kept prerendered `loaderData` from the previous page, causing the effects to short-circuit re-fetches.
June 13, 2026
Email gate button label now says Download
The Letter Studio's email gate button said "Unlock PDF" — confusing because users are unlocking access to download a dynamically-generated letter, not a static file. Button now says "Download" to match the gate's own copy ("unlock the download"), the skip button ("just download"), and the main action that follows.
June 13, 2026
Form-filler generators for all medical-necessity letters
Added interactive form-filler mode to the Letter of Medical Necessity and Doctor's Letter so users can personalize them on screen instead of manually editing Word files.

Fixed overly broad CSS rule that was underlining every link in the Letter Studio including navigation, citations, and download buttons.
June 13, 2026

June 13, 2026
Mobile admin hub navigation fix
Mobile users on `/admin/hub` can now access the hamburger menu to navigate to other admin surfaces.
June 13, 2026
Persona action buttons no longer overflow the card on narrow phones
On a 328 px phone the three action buttons in each persona card were wider than the card itself, causing the rightmost button to hang outside the card border.
June 13, 2026
Personas now show their real billing tier in the app
Launching a demo persona now shows that persona's actual plan (Free, Monthly, Annual, or Founding Member) on the Billing screen instead of "Founding Member" for everyone.
June 13, 2026
Fixed persona launch buttons using wrong Supabase key
The "Launch in App" and "Copy community link" buttons on `/admin/personas` were returning 502 errors. Root cause: the community Vercel project's `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` env var was pointing to the App Supabase project, not the Marketing/Roadmap project.
June 13, 2026
Personas refactored to match all subscription tiers
Personas now cover every subscription tier with correct naming and complete access matrices.
June 13, 2026
Regression tracking on community site (feedback desk)
Added issue relationship tracking to the roadmap Supabase so bugs and ideas can be linked as regressions, duplicates, and blocking issues — mirroring the app's mature bug desk.
June 13, 2026
Link regressions and duplicates from the feedback desk
Admins can now link bug and idea reports to each other — mark one as a regression of another, a duplicate, related, or blocking — right from the feedback desk detail panel.
June 13, 2026
Resources hub — content type spec (v1.0)
Adds the canonical spec for all 10 resource content types served at resources.glutenhero.net.
June 13, 2026

June 13, 2026
Smoke test authoring guide, Airtable slug registry, and automatic font injection
A new guide and two infrastructure improvements prevent the font and layout bugs found in the Workshop Roster smoke test from recurring in future tests.
June 13, 2026
Automatic snapshot refresh in build pipeline
Searching the Resources Library for "letter", "letters", or "studio" was returning zero results due to a stale fallback snapshot deployed during a 9-day gap when the Letter Studio was added to the live database but the snapshot was not refreshed.
June 13, 2026
"The Envoy" smoke test for the workplace accommodation letters
A themed admin smoke test that walks through the six new Workplace Accommodation letters now in Letter Studio, end to end.
June 13, 2026
Workplace Accommodation Letter Pack — six celiac accommodation templates
Six ready-to-adapt letter templates for people with celiac disease navigating a first workplace accommodation request, plus a legal-framework and compliance overview.
June 13, 2026
Workplace accommodation letters are now personalizable in Letter Studio

June 13, 2026
Workshop Roster smoke test now renders with correct fonts and layout
The Workshop Roster (Sprint C4) smoke test was displaying in generic system fonts and with each word of step text wrapping onto its own line, making the page unreadable.
June 12, 2026
Community demo links work for every persona
The admin personas page can now hand you a sign-in link for the community site for any of the eight demo accounts, not just the two that were set up by hand.
June 12, 2026
Community demo launch links self-diagnose setup problems
When a community demo launch link can't be generated, the admin personas page now points at the exact configuration problem instead of a generic error, and tolerates stray spaces accidentally pasted into the site's keys.
June 12, 2026
Founding Member welcome emails now send correctly from the backfill function
The backfill-founding-members Edge Function now sends the official welcome email to every Founding Member whose email has not yet been sent, so missed accounts (like those where the Stripe webhook ran before the send path existed) are fully recovered in one re-run.
June 12, 2026
The Gluten Exposure Cost Calculator now shows up in the Resources Library
The Gluten Exposure Cost Calculator has been live for weeks, but it was missing from the resources grid, so the only way to reach it was a direct link. It now appears as a card alongside the other calculators.
June 12, 2026
A guided test for the new typo-tolerant resource search
Added a step-by-step smoke test so the team can confirm the resources library now finds the right resource even when a word is misspelled.
June 12, 2026
Resource search now forgives common misspellings
The resources library search now turns up the right resource even when a word is slightly misspelled, like typing "dietician" for "dietitian".
June 12, 2026
Founding Member payments via the Stripe Payment Link now fully provision
Payments made through the shared Stripe Payment Link on the marketing site now create a Gluten Hero account, assign a Founding Member rank, and send the welcome email—just like payments made through the in-app checkout button.
June 11, 2026
Faster triage for the feedback you send us
Behind the scenes, our admin Inbound Desk can now hand a whole bug, idea, support ticket, or feature request—screenshot and all—straight to Claude for triage, instead of copying the pieces by hand.
June 11, 2026
Office Hours now opens our live weekly room
The Office Hours section on the resources site now takes you straight into our live GoBrunch room instead of a booking calendar.
June 11, 2026
Glutenhero.net rebuilt in React with Supabase-backed content editing
The public-facing marketing site (glutenhero.net) has been rebuilt as a full 26-page React app with vite-react-ssg prerendering, replacing the static placeholder page. Marketing copy — FAQ answers, feature descriptions, testimonials, hero headlines — is now editable from the admin desk at community.glutenhero.net/admin/public-site without a code deploy.
June 10, 2026
A guided check makes sure the refreshed docs stay true
A new guided test run walks the team through verifying that the freshly updated documentation matches the real product, page by page.
June 10, 2026
Every doc in the project now matches what actually shipped
A full sweep brought all of Gluten Hero's documentation current, so anyone reading the user guide, changelog, or developer docs sees the product as it works today.
June 10, 2026
The receipt-scanning engine is built
The brains behind receipt scanning now exist: snap a photo of a grocery receipt and the app can read the line items, spot the gluten-free products, and pre-fill the prices for you to review.
June 10, 2026
Scan a receipt and watch the form fill itself in
Log GF Items now has a Scan Receipt button: snap a photo and the gluten-free items appear in the form with names, prices, and suggested comparison prices already filled in, ready for you to review and save.
June 8, 2026
Monthly billing now anchors all charges to the 1st of each calendar month
Monthly subscribers pay $12 immediately for the current calendar month, then are charged on the 1st of every subsequent month—no rolling 30-day windows, no per-person billing anniversaries, and no gap exceptions when someone resubscribes mid-month.
June 8, 2026

Visitors and signed-in users can now subscribe to the $12/month plan directly from the community site.
June 8, 2026

June 6, 2026
The Letter Studio is now filed under Letters, not Calculators
The Letter Studio and its letter generators were showing up under the "Calculator" category; they are now their own "Letter" category in the resources library.
June 6, 2026
The readiness quiz now matches the rest of the resources
The Celiac Tax Prep Readiness Quiz was using its own one-off look; it now wears the same fonts, colors, and styling as the rest of the resources library.
June 6, 2026
Share a resource with a friend who has celiac
The Lifetime Cost Projector now has a working "Share with a friend who has celiac" button, built on a reusable share standard that the rest of the resources will adopt next.
June 6, 2026
Every resource now has a share button
Every calculator, quiz, letter, and download on the resources site now has the same "Share with a friend who has celiac" button, so it is easy to pass a helpful tool along.
June 3, 2026
The internal admin hub now has three switchable layouts
Admins can choose how the internal admin hub looks — a roomy magazine layout, a quieter card layout, or a compact list — and the choice is remembered on their device.
June 3, 2026
The admin hub is easier to read and reflows cleanly on smaller screens
The internal admin launchpad got a legibility and layout pass so its labels, counts, and links are comfortable to read, and the page no longer crams its tiles on a narrow window.
June 3, 2026
Donations admin gained a thank-you queue
The Donations admin desk can now track which donors have been thanked, so no gift slips through the cracks.
June 3, 2026

June 3, 2026

June 3, 2026
The Roadmap items admin desk now matches the rest of the admin design
The internal Roadmap items admin page was restyled to the shared Admin Desk Pattern — a header strip plus a clearly numbered section for each roadmap phase.

Sign in with a password, if you want to
You can now set a password and sign in with it, on both the app and the community site. The 6-digit email code is still the default and always works, so nothing changes unless you opt in.
June 3, 2026

June 2, 2026
The glossary and the Resources hub are now readable by search engines
Every published glossary term and the Resources Library homepage are now built as a full page at deploy time, so their words and links are in the page from the first moment — visible to Google and to AI assistants like ClaudeBot, GPTBot, and Perplexity that don't wait for scripts to run.
June 2, 2026
Help articles now load instantly and show up in search results
The Help center at community.glutenhero.net/help now serves real article content the moment a page loads — no more spinner, no more invisible-to-Google blank shell. Search engines and AI assistants see the full article body in the HTML.
June 2, 2026
Help center articles are now in the sitemap and named for AI crawlers
The help center at community.glutenhero.net/help shipped with a tiny static sitemap that listed only the hub page, and a robots.txt that didn't name ClaudeBot, GPTBot, or PerplexityBot. Every published help article was invisible to search engines and to AI assistants browsing for citations.
June 2, 2026
Every Gluten Hero letter now lives in one Letter Studio
We pulled our five separate letter and template resources into a single Letter Studio so you can find, personalize, and download any of them from one place.
June 2, 2026
Search on the Resources site now actually works
The search bar at resources.glutenhero.net was filtering only on title and short blurb, missing all the article content where the vocabulary users actually type lives. Typing "Schedule A", "7.5%", or "IRS" returned zero results.
June 2, 2026
Rich link previews for every Help and Resources page
Every page on the Help center and Resources site now unfurls with a unique, branded card image when shared on Discord, Slack, iMessage, or social media—no more generic placeholder for every URL.
June 2, 2026
Static resources now share with proper previews and structured data
The thirteen static landing pages on resources.glutenhero.net (the four calculators, two quizzes, four downloads, and three reference guides) used to ship with only a title and a one-sentence description. Sharing a link on Slack or Twitter looked plain, and search engines had no structured-data hint about what each page was.
June 1, 2026

A continuing-education primer that helps registered dietitians point celiac patients toward the tax and spending-account benefits that support staying on the diet.

June 1, 2026
Resource articles now load as real pages for search engines

May 31, 2026
The AGI Threshold Calculator now explains what your number means
The 7.5% AGI Threshold Calculator gained plain-language guidance below the calculator so the result is something you can act on, not just a figure.

May 31, 2026
Billing & Paywall — Phase 5 server-side receipt cap
Free-tier users are now capped at 30 receipts per calendar month, enforced on the server so the limit cannot be bypassed from the client.
May 31, 2026
Bug Desk auto-refreshes and stops leaving behind old screenshots
The admin Bug Desk now keeps itself up to date on its own and tidies up replaced screenshots, closing the last two loose ends from the Bug Desk overhaul.
May 31, 2026
Bug Desk Phase 2 — notes, fix records, screenshots, and surface filter
Questions and Admin Features in the Bug Desk now have the same triage toolkit as Bugs: per-item admin notes, a fix record (summary, sprint, PR link, session URL), and a screenshot upload. All three fields flow into the Copy for Claude and Export Markdown outputs.
May 31, 2026
The Doctor's Letter template added to the Resources Library

The email input on the GF Expense Estimator now properly surfaces saved email addresses from the browser's password manager and autofill on both desktop and mobile.
May 31, 2026
Expense Estimator email no longer references Celiac Awareness Month
The follow-up email sent after the GF Expense Estimator form was still advertising a soft-launch that ended weeks ago. The outdated paragraph and CTA button have been removed.
May 31, 2026
Sturdier Gluten Exposure Cost Calculator
The Gluten Exposure Cost Calculator now handles the email step more gracefully and guards against a couple of rough edges.
May 31, 2026

May 31, 2026

A filterable reference guide showing which HSA and FSA expenses are eligible for people with celiac disease—34 items across six categories with plain-language eligibility designations.
May 31, 2026

The household-of-1 demo persona now carries more than a year of receipts, trips, and medical visits, so the Insights tab's mature-confidence cards, the Compare tab's year-over-year tiles, and the AGI threshold caption on the YTD chart all render with realistic numbers for walkthroughs.
May 21, 2026

The Resources Library at resources.glutenhero.net now has its four downloadable PDFs in place: a gluten-free item list, a monthly tracking checklist, a sample of the in-app report, and the For-Your-CPA & Tax Pro Packet that gathers the source material a return preparer needs.
May 19, 2026
Expense Estimator screenshots, plus permanent capture tooling for lead magnets
Fresh phone, tablet, and desktop screenshots of the GF Expense Estimator across three states (landing, form filled in, results panel), plus a new capture script that makes adding the readiness quiz and lifetime cost projector trivial.
May 19, 2026
In-app Help links now point at the community site
The Help page in the app now sends users to the right place for both support tickets and the help center, and a dead-code scaffold that had been sitting unused since the initial repo seed was removed.
May 19, 2026
Knowledge base now lives at community.glutenhero.net/help
CLAUDE.md was updated to reflect that the help center and the community site merged into one place, so future Claude sessions point users at the right URL.
May 19, 2026
Six newly-diagnosed articles are live on the Resources Library
The flagship "Just diagnosed? Start here." four-week playbook, plus five companion articles covering label reading, the physician chart-note ask, mixed-household kitchen setup, packing a gluten-free school lunch, and being the spouse of someone newly diagnosed.
May 19, 2026
Resources Library now has an admin authoring page
You can now write articles, add videos, upload downloads, and edit FAQ and glossary entries yourself, without going through a Claude Code session. Find it under Admin → Resources.
May 19, 2026
Resources article URLs no longer 404
Every `/r/<slug>/` URL on resources.glutenhero.net was returning a 404 from Vercel, even when the underlying article row had real body content. The Vercel rewrite destination explicitly named `index.html`, which conflicted with the project's clean-URLs setting and broke the routing. Switched the destination to the directory form so Vercel resolves the index file the same way it does everywhere else.
May 19, 2026
resources.glutenhero.net got a proper homepage
The landing page at `resources.glutenhero.net` is now the full Resources Library, not a three-card link list. Nine sections per the design deck: nav, warm cream hero with search and audience pills, newly-diagnosed callout, category tile grid, asymmetric "Most opened this week" featured row, filterable resource grid with active-filter pills, office hours band, monthly newsletter, and the plum footer.
May 19, 2026
A written plan for the rest of the Resources Library
The Resources Library now has its own sprint plan, sibling to the App-side competitive plan and the community-site plan. Ten R-prefixed sprints sequence everything from the data layer to the final newsletter and Office Hours wiring, with content authoring landing in an admin surface Gluten Hero controls rather than in a separate WordPress install.
May 19, 2026
Resources nav and footer links go to real pages on glutenhero.net
The Resources homepage nav and footer had four links pointing at marketing-site routes that don't exist (`/for-cpas`, `/product`, `/pricing`, and two duplicates of the same). Repointed each one at a route that's actually live on glutenhero.net.
May 19, 2026
Resources Library is database-backed now
The Resources Library at `resources.glutenhero.net` now reads its content from a database instead of a hardcoded array in the page. Articles, FAQ, glossary entries, videos, downloads, webinars, calculators, and quizzes all live in one table. Article pages render their bodies from Markdown at a shared shell URL.
May 19, 2026
The Resources Library search is a little less dead-on-arrival
The search box on resources.glutenhero.net now tells you what it does and gives you somewhere to land when a search comes up empty.
May 19, 2026
Taxes and reports article batch shipped to the Resources Library
Two new articles on the Resources Library walk the tax-credibility picture from the source language to the workflow with your CPA or tax professional.
May 19, 2026
Four new tracking, saving, and budget articles on Resources
The Resources Library at resources.glutenhero.net picked up four more long-form articles today, finishing the second batch of the launch-week content push.
May 18, 2026
Community redesign session 2, three surfaces lifted to deck spec
Sprint C6 session 2 of 3 lifts the Feature Request board, the public roadmap section, and the `/account` page to the C0 design deck.
May 18, 2026
Community site hero now matches the design spec
The home page on community.glutenhero.net got its first pass of design fidelity work, bringing the visitor hero, founding-member section, and roadmap section in line with the locked design spec.
May 18, 2026
Fresh app screenshots, with a smarter capture script
A new set of phone, tablet, and desktop screenshots covers every user-facing page in the app, and the script that produces them now waits for fonts, skeletons, and charts to render before shooting.
May 18, 2026
Scrolling WebM videos for the marketing-heavy app pages
The screenshot script can now record short scrolling videos of the Dashboard, Reports, Profile, Help, Settings, and Disclaimer pages so they can be dropped into Canva, Keynote, or any slide tool that takes WebM.
May 17, 2026
Founding Members can sign in again
Fixed a critical Beta Gate bug that was sending real Founding Members to the "not on the beta list yet" denial card when they tried to sign in.
May 17, 2026
Founding Members can actually sign in now
The Beta Gate denial card had been showing for every registered Founding Member since the gate shipped, including in earlier attempts to fix it today.
May 17, 2026
Founding Members can sign in again, for real this time
A second swing at the gate bug that was sending registered Founding Members to the "private beta" denial card.
May 17, 2026
A Go Live waitlist for when Founding Member spots fill up
The Founding Member program caps at 1,000 people. Once that cap is hit, the deposit button on community.glutenhero.net swaps to a "Join the waitlist" form so nobody walks away empty-handed.
May 16, 2026
Beta Gate enforcement on glutenhero.app
While the app is in private beta, only Founding Members and invited testers can sign in. Today the gate's user-facing pieces landed so the experience for everyone else stays warm and clear.
May 16, 2026
Average Extra per Item replaces Average Extra per Shop
The second Insights card now averages your tracked GF premium across the items you logged in scope, not across the number of receipts those items came from. Same number on the top half of the math, just a denominator that matches what the card is actually asking about.
May 16, 2026
Importing a Gluten Hero JSON backup skips the CSV column-mapping step
Re-importing a Gluten Hero JSON backup now lands straight in the preview, instead of detouring through the CSV column-mapping screen with blank column names.
May 16, 2026
Saving a GF Find no longer blanks the screen
Saving a Share a GF Find now shows the success card with five share buttons (Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Copy Link, Snapshot) instead of going blank.
May 13, 2026
Average Extra per Shop reads clearly and shows its math
The Insights card "Average Extra per Shop" no longer reads as if it were counting mileage trips, and its "How is this calculated?" disclosure now explains why an item without a logged regular price counts at full price.
May 13, 2026
Subtotals in the home page details are easier to read on a desktop
When you expand "Show details" on the home page, the category rows now sit at a comfortable reading width on desktop so the label and amount stay visually connected.
May 13, 2026
Editing a medical expense's date no longer makes it vanish from Recent
If you edited a medical expense and changed its date to a different tax year, the entry disappeared from your dashboard's Recent list and looked like it had been deleted. It is back.
May 13, 2026
Founding Members and Donations admin desks
Two new admin desks on community.glutenhero.net, plus the Stripe billing portal redirect from the Account hub and a gift-pass redemption flow.
May 13, 2026
Marking an item GF Only now clears the regular price
Editing a logged item and ticking Exclusively GF used to leave the old regular price hiding in the background; toggling the box off again brought the prior amount back. Now the regular price is cleared the moment Exclusively GF is checked, so the field reads empty if you ever flip back.
May 13, 2026
GF vs Regular card on Reports now shows the dollar amount too
The GF vs Regular card on Reports → Insights still leads with the percentage, and now shows the dollar premium that goes with it on a small second line just under the percentage.
May 13, 2026
Shipped fixes now actually reach your browser without F5
A bug reporter noticed that the Year to Date chart on Reports kept looking flat right after sign-in until they hit F5, even though yesterday's fix for that exact chart had already shipped. The reason was a service-worker setting that made every new version of the app wait quietly in the background instead of taking over. New versions now activate themselves automatically.
May 13, 2026
Year to Date chart caption now reads as your progress, not the chart's value
The caption that appears under the Year to Date chart when your AGI threshold is too high to plot on the same axis was being misread as a claim about your cumulative line's value. It now leads with how far you have to go.
May 12, 2026
Your account, all in one place on community.glutenhero.net
Signed-in members now have a real account page at `/account` that brings together every feature request you've submitted, every support ticket you've opened, and your Founding Member status.
May 12, 2026
One admin shell for the community site
The community site's admin pages now live inside a single shared shell instead of three separate pages with three different layouts.
May 12, 2026
Community site redesign locked
The full spec for the community.glutenhero.net rebuild is in. Four design questions have answers, the visual reference lives in the repo, and the next five sprints know exactly what they are building.
May 12, 2026
The public roadmap is now editable without a code deploy
Until today, the "What's coming next" section on community.glutenhero.net was a hardcoded list inside the source code. Updating it meant a developer, a pull request, and a deploy. Now it reads from the database, and any admin can edit it.
May 12, 2026
Internal demo-seed script lands so testers get realistic data in a minute
Admins can now populate a fresh account with a year of receipts, trips, medical expenses, and community finds in a single command, so a new pre-Beta tester sees a real-looking dashboard instead of an empty one.
May 12, 2026
Doc catch-up and CLAUDE.md drift cleanup
Caught up four orphan-branch session closeouts that never landed and corrected three places in CLAUDE.md that had drifted from reality. No app code changes, no migration.
May 12, 2026
Feature requests get a real lifecycle on the community board
The status pill on each feature request now reflects a full lifecycle, and the rails are in place for admins to move requests through it and reply in public.
May 12, 2026
Lifetime Cost Projector emails go live, migrations folder split by project
The Lifetime Celiac Cost Projector can now email you your personalized projection, and the repo's migrations folder is reorganized so the App and Roadmap databases each have their own clean home.
May 12, 2026
Admin demo-seed tool now runs from the browser
The demo-seed script that lands fresh testers on a populated account can now be triggered from the GitHub Actions tab in two clicks, so no terminal is required.
May 12, 2026
Sharing a report with your CPA works again
Reports → Share Report was bouncing with a session error even on a fresh login. The Edge Function now identifies the signed in user correctly, and a double tap on Send no longer results in two emails to the CPA.
May 12, 2026
Caught up on the things the docs missed
A quick audit of "what shipped vs. what the docs say shipped" surfaced four migrations, an Edge Function, and a whole parallel workstream (the Beta Gate) that had landed on main but were missing from CLAUDE.md's snapshot. Captured them in WHAT EXISTS TODAY so future sessions start with a true picture, and triaged two PRs that had been sitting on GitHub.
May 12, 2026
The Gluten Hero team can now reply to your feature requests
The feature-request board now closes the loop. When the team changes a request's status or writes a public reply, you see it on the public card and the original submitter gets an email.
May 12, 2026
Year to Date chart no longer flatlines when your AGI threshold is much higher than your total
The Year to Date chart on Reports → Insights would look like a flat line at zero anytime your AGI threshold sat far above your tracked premium for the year. The line was actually correct, just visually squashed by the much larger threshold marker on the same Y-axis.
May 10, 2026
Bug Desk tab counts now update without opening the tab
The numbers in parentheses on the Bug Desk tabs (Bugs, Questions, Admin Features) now stay accurate without needing to open each tab first.
May 10, 2026
Admins can log feature requests on someone's behalf
When a request comes in by email, in the Facebook group, on Discord, or anywhere else, admins can now log it directly to the public feature board and credit the right person.
May 10, 2026
AGI Scenario Explorer amounts no longer overlap their labels on desktop
On wide-screen Reports, the AGI Scenario Explorer card on the right rail rendered its Current and Scenario panels in two columns inside a 288 px rail. Amounts like $55,000.00 collided with the "7.5% threshold" and "Tracked totals" labels.
May 10, 2026
Bug Desk tab pills show open and in progress, alongside total
The numbers next to Bugs, Questions, and Admin Features on the Bug Desk now show how many still need attention plus the full count, in the format `Bugs (3 / 41)`. Resolved, closed, done, deferred, and answered items no longer inflate the first number, but the second number stays so an empty pill never reads ambiguously.
May 10, 2026
Bug Desk tabs switch again
Pressing Bugs, Questions, or Admin Features on the Bug Desk now actually changes which list you see.
May 10, 2026
A plain-English smoke-test guide for human testers
A new companion document walks a non-developer tester through every Gluten Hero feature with checkbox lists and one-action-per-step instructions.
May 10, 2026
Add to Home Screen now installs Gluten Hero as a real app on iPhone
Adding Gluten Hero from iPhone Safari's Share menu now produces a real standalone app on the home screen, instead of a bookmark that opens in Safari.
May 10, 2026
Share Report now actually attaches the PDF and CSV
The Email button on the Reports page used to open your email compose window with no real attachment, sometimes showing a confusing "files weren't attached because they're empty" warning. The button is now Share Report and sends a real email from Gluten Hero with the PDF and CSV attached.
May 10, 2026
Tighter home page on phone
The dashboard now packs more useful content into a phone screen, with the AGI threshold folded into the hero and the second row of buttons retired.
May 9, 2026
Beta dates corrected across docs and the FAQ
The "When will Gluten Hero launch?" answer in the FAQ on this site now reflects the real schedule: private Pre-Beta opened May 1, Public Beta opens May 22, and Go Live is July 1, 2026. Several stale references to an earlier April 1 beta target have been swept out of the canonical project documentation in the same pass.
May 9, 2026
Offline edits to medical expenses no longer overwrite each other silently
When you edit a medical expense offline and someone (or another device) changes the same row before yours can sync, the app now stops, shows you both versions side by side, and lets you pick which to keep. Receipts and trips stay last-write-wins on purpose; medical edits get the careful treatment because the dollar amounts matter most.
May 9, 2026
A test suite that drives the app the way a person would
We can now run a real browser through Sprint 6 conflict scenarios automatically, instead of asking a human to walk the checklist by hand each time. Six of nine scenarios pass on every commit; the others are documented and on the follow-up list.
May 9, 2026
Offline saves stay safe and sync the moment you reconnect
When the app loses signal, the things you log keep working. They show up on the dashboard right away, ride out in a queue, and finish saving the moment your connection returns.
May 9, 2026
Add Gluten Hero to your phone's home screen
The web app is now an installable Progressive Web App. On iPhone, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, and the green Gluten Hero icon appears like a regular app. On Android, Chrome will prompt to install it after a few visits.
May 9, 2026
Four conflict-detection bugs from the Sprint 6 audit are fixed
We swept four edge cases the Sprint 6 audit flagged in the offline-edit conflict-detection path so the medical-edit flow holds up cleanly when real-world things go wrong.
May 9, 2026
Sprint 6 audit pass
We ran three independent audits over the freshly-merged Sprint 6 work and the new e2e suite came back green; the full report is now part of the admin wiki.
May 8, 2026
Badge notifications no longer stack on top of each other when you sign in
When you arrived from a magic link and several badges were awarded at once, three separate notifications would pile up on top of each other and only the newest one was readable before they all disappeared.
May 8, 2026
Copyright notice on Settings, Login, and Onboarding
The app now shows the Gluten Hero copyright at the bottom of the Settings, sign-in, and onboarding screens, and one canonical copyright line is used everywhere across the property.
May 8, 2026
CSV export button label now fits on the Reports page
The CSV export button on Reports was titled "Export CSV for Your Tax Professional 💼", which was long enough to overflow the right rail at desktop widths. The label is now "Export CSV Report 💼", parallel to the "Download PDF Report 📄" button right above it.
May 8, 2026
CSV export now saves on iPhone, no scary message after
The "Export CSV for Your Tax Professional" button on the Reports page now saves on iPhone, and the misleading "could not save this export" message no longer appears after a successful download.
May 8, 2026
Launch-week cutover date locked in for the lead magnets and community board
The lead magnets and the community feature board are staying in this repo until launch week, with the move to their own homes scheduled for June 23, 2026.
May 8, 2026
Badges no longer use wheat icons, and tiers visually progress
The Profile badge grid used to stamp the same little wheat stalk on every Logging badge, which was an odd visual choice on a gluten-free product and made the five tiers feel like one repeated sticker. Each Logging tier now has its own icon that grows with the count, and the other categories ladder up too instead of repeating one icon.
May 8, 2026
Paste or upload an image when filing a bug
The bug report form now accepts an image from your clipboard, a file, a drag-and-drop, or your phone camera, and the admin Bug Desk's manual "Report Bug" dialog can attach an image too.
May 8, 2026
Pick the emoji next to your name
The dashboard greeting used to always show the same green heart next to your name. You can now pick a different heart, or pick None.
May 8, 2026
Save button now anchors the bottom of Settings
The Save button on Settings used to sit halfway down the page, above sections that already saved automatically, which left some users wondering whether their theme or attestation choice had stuck.
May 8, 2026
Sharper logo on the lead magnet pages
The Gluten Hero shield now renders as a crisp full color SVG on every lead magnet page, replacing the old PNG that the page styling was bleaching to a blank white silhouette.
May 8, 2026
Sign-in email autofills on desktop too
The sign-in field now matches the industry standard for passwordless sign-in, so desktop browsers offer your saved email as an autofill suggestion the same way phones already do.
May 8, 2026
A paste-ready briefing for fresh claude.ai sessions
A new admin page bundles the project context, current sprint state, voice rules, and key facts into one document that can be pasted into a cold claude.ai session to bring it up to speed in a single shot.
May 8, 2026
Tracked since folded into the dashboard hero
The "Tracked since" date now reads as part of the hero card, freeing up a row of vertical space at the top of the dashboard on phone widths.
May 7, 2026
Phone, tablet, and desktop screenshots of every app page
We can now generate a full set of phone, tablet, and desktop screenshots of every page in the app with one command, no real account needed.
May 7, 2026
Arrow keys now move between options on every segmented control
The pill segmented controls on Reports, including the Insights time scope, the Tax Year switcher, and the Items category filter, now respond to keyboard arrow keys the way a screen reader user expects.
May 7, 2026
Insights charts fit better on a phone
The Monthly Cost Comparison chart now reclaims vertical space on phone widths by dropping the legend and labelling the most recent bar pair directly, and tooltips on every Insights chart stay inside the viewport when you tap a bar at the right edge.
May 7, 2026
Insights charts get a dedicated dark mode palette
Insights charts now treat dark mode as its own palette, not a simple inversion, so thin lines and small bar pairs hold contrast against the dark surface.
May 7, 2026
Confidence framing under small-sample Insights cards
When an Insights card has just enough history to show a number but not enough to be precise, a small italic label now sits under the value: "Early estimate based on 4 shops. More accurate after 5 or more." The label disappears once you cross the maturity threshold.
May 7, 2026
Date is the first field on Log Trip
The Log Trip page now puts the trip date at the top of the form, matching how Log Items and Log Medical Expense are laid out.
May 7, 2026
A Deferred status for the Bug Desk so parked items stop pretending to be open or closed
The admin Bug Desk now has a Deferred status, distinct from Closed, with a Why deferred? reason that future triage sessions can read.
May 7, 2026
Email to Tax Professional now actually attaches the PDF
The Email to My Tax Professional button on Reports now sends the PDF as a real attachment on iPhone and Android, and on desktop it downloads the PDF and tells you to attach it to the email that just opened.
May 7, 2026
Floating header buttons no longer cover the Tracked since pill
The dark-mode toggle and the help button at the top-right of the dashboard were sitting on top of the "Tracked since" pill on phone-width screens, making the pill hard to read.
May 7, 2026
Forbidden-language lint expanded
The repo's content lint now blocks a longer list of phrases that read as AI-generated, generic, or moralizing. Anything that sneaks into a saving tip, a methodology entry, or a share tagline gets caught by a vitest run before it ships.
May 7, 2026
Home page fits better on small phones
The Dashboard now lays out cleanly on narrow iPhones, with a more visible logo, the "Tracked since" pill clear of the floating Theme and Help icons, a tighter hero card that tucks secondary stats behind a Show details toggle, shorter Quick Action buttons, and a floating bug icon that no longer crowds the rightmost bottom-nav tab.
May 7, 2026
How this is calculated, on every Insights card
Every card and chart on the Insights tab now has a richer info icon that opens a popover on desktop or a bottom sheet on mobile. The disclosure shows a plain-language explanation, the exact formula, and what improves accuracy over time.
May 7, 2026
Info tooltips stay open when you tap them on mobile
The small info icons on the dashboard and on the AGI scenario card now open a tappable popover instead of a hover tooltip, so the explanation stays visible until you tap away.
May 7, 2026
Insights card subtitles now explain instead of label
The subtitle line on every Insights card now does interpretive work instead of restating the chart axis, so a glance at a card answers what the number means rather than what it is named.
May 7, 2026
iPhone home-screen icon and name show up correctly now
Adding Gluten Hero to your iPhone home screen now uses the Gluten Hero shield as the icon and "Gluten Hero" as the label, instead of a screenshot of the page and the long "Gluten Hero — Your Gluten-Free Sidekick" title.
May 7, 2026
Log Trip header now tells you where to change the mileage rate
The Log Trip page subtitle now mentions that the auto-calculated mileage rate can be changed in Settings, so the path from "that's not my rate" to "fixed it" is one tap obvious.
May 7, 2026
Methodology copy on every KPI
Every Insights metric now has a plain-language explanation alongside its formula. The card titles still say "GF vs Regular" or "Projected Annual GF Premium," and the new disclosure explains exactly what the number is and how it was reached.
May 7, 2026
Partial-progress empty states on Insights cards
When the Insights cards do not have enough logged history to show their numbers yet, they no longer render a single line of "add 3 more" copy. Instead each card names what you have so far and what unlocks the metric.
May 7, 2026
Reports restores cleanly from the Back button
Reports already remembered your tab, scope, year, and comparison year in the URL. The parsing was lifted into a shared helper and pinned by tests so a Back from any other tab restores the exact view you left.
May 7, 2026
Screen readers now summarize each Insights card as one sentence
Each KPI card on the Insights tab now reads as one complete sentence to a screen reader, instead of a list of fragments stitched together from a label, a value, and a subtitle.
May 7, 2026
Show data table on every Insights chart
Every Insights chart now has a Show data table link below it so a screen reader, an auditor, or anyone who simply prefers numbers can read the same values the chart visualizes.
May 7, 2026
Sign in email field autofills on phone and desktop
The sign in email box now prompts your browser or phone to offer a saved email, so getting back into Gluten Hero is one tap.
May 7, 2026
Skeleton loading states on Dashboard and Insights
The Dashboard and the Insights tab now render skeleton chrome while your data is fetching, so you no longer see the "No entries yet" empty state flash on top of an account that already has data.
May 7, 2026
Threshold markers on Year to Date are easier to read
The AGI threshold line and the You are here marker on the Year to Date chart now read as calm guidance instead of competing with the cumulative line.
May 7, 2026
Voice lint now catches binary framing and AI-ish reassurance
The forbidden-language audit now flags more of the patterns Gluten Hero promised to keep out of the product, including binary framing of spending decisions, accusatory empty-state copy, and AI-ish reassurance lead-ins.
May 6, 2026
Health Investment card and backfill-prices nudge land on Insights
The Insights tab now has a fourth card that reframes your GF premium as a health investment, and a small dismissible banner that asks you to backfill regular prices on items you have already logged so the rest of Insights becomes more accurate.
May 6, 2026
Import from CeliTrack and export your own data
If you are switching from another GF expense tracker, you can now bring your purchase history with you. And whenever you want, you can download everything you have logged in Gluten Hero as a backup.
May 6, 2026
Insights tab arrives on Reports with three charts and three cards
Reports now opens on a new Insights tab that shows your GF spending in three charts and three at-a-glance cards. The tab lives at the front of Reports, so a fresh visit lands here, and a This Month / All Time toggle replaces the tax-year picker while you are on it.
May 6, 2026
A new saving tip lands on your dashboard each day
A small card on the dashboard now surfaces one practical gluten-free saving tip per day, rotating at local midnight, so there is something fresh and useful waiting for you on every visit.
May 6, 2026
Share your progress from Profile
A new section on the Profile page, under the badges grid, generates a 1080×1080 image of your gluten-free premium total ready to post on social or send in iMessage.
May 6, 2026
Smart Insights label arrives on the dashboard and Reports
The dashboard hero and the Insights tab on Reports now wear a small "Smart Insights" chip, so the calculated numbers stand apart from the raw rows on the other Reports tabs.
May 6, 2026
Store names normalize on save
Store names now title-case and trim themselves the moment you save a receipt, so "whole foods", "WHOLE FOODS", and "Whole Foods" all land in your records as the same store.
May 6, 2026
A new dashboard card explains what complete logging makes possible
A small dismissible card now sits between Quick Actions and Recent Activity on the dashboard, pointing you at Insights and connecting the dots between logging entries and seeing where you stand against the AGI threshold.
May 5, 2026
Compare two years side by side on Reports
Reports has a new Compare tab that puts two of your tracking years next to each other so you can see how your gluten free costs and medical totals are trending year over year.
May 5, 2026
GF vs. regular comparison now visible on the dashboard
The dashboard hero card now shows your GF total side by side with what the same items would have cost as non-gluten-free, so the premium you are paying is visible at a glance instead of buried in Reports.
May 5, 2026
Pill selector now used in more places on Reports
The smooth animated pill selector that drives the tax year picker on Reports is now used for the items category filter and the new comparison year picker too, so the controls feel consistent everywhere on the page.
May 5, 2026
Save button no longer hides behind the help icon
The Save chip in the top right corner of every form has been retired, so the floating help and theme icons no longer cover it on phone screens. Save now lives only at the bottom of the form on every page.
May 3, 2026
Lifetime Celiac Cost Projector lead magnet launched
A new free tool that projects your household's lifetime celiac spend (food premium, medical out of pocket, lost wages) through age 80 and shows how much may be recoverable through Schedule A, HSA, FSA, and employer reimbursement.
May 2, 2026
Active Sprint card now shows the real sprint
The Active Sprint card on the community site was showing placeholder text from months ago. It now reads the current sprint from the same plan document the team already updates, so it stays accurate by default.
May 2, 2026
New AGI Scenario Explorer on Reports
The Reports page now has a small explorer that lets you type a hypothetical AGI and instantly see how your tracked totals would land against the 7.5% threshold under that scenario, side by side with your current setup.
May 2, 2026
Bug Desk shows tab counts and lets you copy questions and admin features to Claude
The Bug Desk now shows item counts on every tab and lets admins copy a Question or an Admin Feature into Claude with one click, the same way bugs already worked.
May 2, 2026
A new Celiac Tax Prep Readiness Quiz, plus a leaner free-tools setup
The new Celiac Tax Prep Readiness Quiz takes six quick questions and emails you a personalized PDF profile of what to track and what to bring to your tax pro, with a re-download link that stays valid for 90 days.
May 2, 2026
The community site now lives at its own domain
The Gluten Hero community site has moved to community.glutenhero.net, with sign-in, the build log, the feature request board, and support tickets all working on the new domain.

The "Send it to me" button on the GF Expense Estimator and the Celiac Tax Prep Readiness Quiz was failing for everyone with a generic error.

May 2, 2026
Help FAQ now explains how to log a medical expense
The in-app Help and FAQ page now has a dedicated "How do I log a medical expense?" question, sitting alongside the existing how-to entries for groceries and trips so all three log flows are explained in the same place.
May 2, 2026
Lead magnet CTA now points to the marketing site
The post-confirmation call to action on the GF Expense Estimator and the Celiac Tax Prep Readiness Quiz now sends users to glutenhero.net instead of dropping them straight into the app, so they land on the full pitch first.
May 2, 2026
Bug and idea reporting now lives on the community site and lead magnets too
A green floating button now sits on every community site page and every lead magnet page. Click it, pick Bug or Idea, fill out the form, and it lands in a dedicated admin dashboard separate from the app's bug desk so we never confuse a marketing-side report with an app-side report.
May 2, 2026
You can now remove the screenshot from a bug report
The bug report form auto-captures a screenshot when you tap the floating bug button, and now lets you drop it from the report if it is not relevant before submitting.
May 2, 2026
Save now lives in the same place on every form
Every form in the app now has a Save button anchored in the top right of the page, so saving never requires scrolling, and the button label is the same word everywhere.
May 2, 2026
Reports now scope to a single tax year
The Reports page has a new pill selector at the top so you can flip between tax years, and everything below it (totals, item list, travel list, medical list, PDF, CSV, email) follows the year you pick.
May 2, 2026
Team gets a Discord ping the moment something hits a desk
Bugs, support tickets, questions, admin features, community feature requests, and marketing feedback now ping the right Discord channel the moment they land, with a one-tap link that opens the item and copies a Claude triage prompt to the clipboard.
May 1, 2026
Lead magnets now live in the main repo
The GF Expense Estimator and any future lead magnet apps now live alongside the app and community site in the main Gluten Hero repo, so they are easier to maintain in one place until the marketing site is rebuilt after beta.
May 1, 2026
Welcome page after the $20 Founding Member deposit is finalized
The page Stripe sends you to after paying the $20 deposit now confirms your Founding Member number, locks in the $79 per year rate for at least 3 years, and tells you exactly what is coming next. The first 100 to pay land in the pre-beta cohort and can sign in to the app today. Everyone else gets a clear note that public beta opens May 22.
April 30, 2026
Medical provider suggestions now match the selected category
The provider list on Log Medical Expense now only shows past providers from the category you have selected, so prescriptions and doctor visits no longer mix together in the suggestions.
April 30, 2026
Log Medical's helper text no longer looks like a form field
The list of expense types that can't be logged here used to sit inside the medical entry form between Category and Subcategory, where a few users read it as another dropdown. It now lives at the top of the Log Medical Expense page as a small inline link.
April 29, 2026
Added an internal code map to help future development sessions
A pre-built map of the app and community-site code now lives in the repo so future development sessions can find their way around without re-reading every file from scratch.
April 29, 2026
Log forms now show past entries as an autocomplete list, not a silent fill
When you start typing a store, destination, or provider on a Log form, the dropdown of your past entries shows up with the values it would copy in, and a fill only happens after you pick a row.
April 28, 2026
Marketing copy now says "CPA or tax professional" instead of "tax professional" alone
The roadmap and brand style guide now use "CPA or tax professional" wherever the previous sweep had stripped the word CPA. Calling out CPAs by name keeps that profession visible in the marketing language.
April 28, 2026
Launch timeline updated to Pre-Beta, Public Beta, Go Live
The roadmap and brand style guide now reflect the new launch schedule: Pre-Beta on May 1, Public Beta on May 22, Go Live on July 1.

April 28, 2026
Trip and medical forms now pre-fill more from past entries
Logging a repeat trip or a repeat medical visit takes a few less taps now, the form fills in what it already knows from your history.
April 23, 2026
Log forms now suggest past entries so you do not have to retype
Logging a repeat store, destination, or provider no longer means retyping the same words you typed last week. The Log Items, Log Trip, and Log Medical forms now suggest values from your own past entries and, where it makes sense, fill in related fields when you pick one.
April 23, 2026
Bug Desk link in Settings is now mobile only
Admins on desktop no longer see a redundant Bug Desk blurb at the bottom of Settings, since the left sidebar already pins a dedicated Admin panel with a Bug Desk entry and a live count of items that need attention.
April 22, 2026
Bug Desk now works like one tool instead of three
The internal Bug Desk that the team uses to triage bug reports, questions, and admin feature ideas now behaves like a single, consistent tool across all three of its tabs, and it has a permanent home in the sidebar for admins.
April 22, 2026
Deleting a Medical Expense Now Returns You to Where You Came From
Editing a medical expense from View all or the Dashboard Recent list now opens its own dedicated edit page, so deleting the expense sends you back to the list you were on instead of stranding you on the Medical Expenses screen.
April 22, 2026
Fix Bug Desk admin panel error when saving an admin feature
Restores the security policies that protect the admin feature requests and admin questions tables, so admins can again save items from the Bug Desk panel without hitting a permissions error.
April 22, 2026
Log GF Items now tells you exactly what is wrong with a row
The red banner on Log GF Items used to bundle every possible validation problem into one sentence, so fixing one issue did not visibly change the banner. Now the banner lists only the specific problems your rows have right now, and each line disappears the moment you fix that problem.
April 20, 2026
Full documentation refresh across every external, internal, and marketing guide
Every external, internal, and marketing doc was reviewed against the current codebase and rewritten to match what the app actually does today.
April 19, 2026
Regular price now has to be less than the GF price
When logging or editing an item, the regular price can no longer be equal to or higher than the GF price, which keeps bogus zero-premium rows out of your records.
April 18, 2026
Desktop Layout Now Uses More of the Screen
The desktop layout has been widened so Gluten Hero fills more of a large monitor instead of floating in the middle, and the Dashboard Recent list now wraps into two or three columns on wider screens.
April 17, 2026
Admin Wiki Scaffolded in the Repo
Started an internal admin wiki under docs/admin/ so admin workflows have a single place to live.
April 17, 2026
App is now optimized for desktop
Gluten Hero now adapts properly to desktop screens, with a left sidebar for navigation and layouts that use the extra space instead of showing a narrow mobile column floating in the middle.
April 17, 2026
Bug Desk Gets a Copy Initial Prompt Button
Admins can now copy a prewritten Claude Code kickoff prompt from the Bug Desk header or the bug detail screen with one click.
April 17, 2026
Bug Report Button No Longer Covers the Settings Tab
The floating bug report button used to sit right on top of the Settings tab in the bottom bar on mobile, which made Settings very hard to tap. It now sits above the bottom bar so nothing is blocked.
April 17, 2026
Build Log Now Stores One File Per Entry
The build log on the community site is now backed by one Markdown file per entry instead of one big JSON file, so parallel work sessions stop stepping on each other whenever two people ship in the same day.
April 17, 2026
Chat Messages Now Color Code App and Marketing Content
Claude will now split chat messages into green App blocks and purple Marketing or Roadmap blocks whenever both projects come up, so SQL and configs do not get run against the wrong Supabase.
April 17, 2026
Confirming a Delete Now Keeps You on the List You Were Viewing
On iPhone, confirming a delete from View all or the Dashboard Recent list used to bounce you into an edit screen for the entry you had just deleted. The list now stays put.
April 17, 2026
Deleting an Item No Longer Leaves You on an Orphan Screen
After confirming a delete from the Dashboard or Reports list, the app now sends you straight to the Dashboard instead of parking you on an Item Not Found screen.
April 17, 2026
Log GF Items Photo Upload Now Adapts to Desktop
On desktop, the Log GF Items photo upload now shows a single Upload Photo button instead of a misleading Take Photo button that could not actually open a webcam.
April 17, 2026
Log Items now lets you pick the purchase date, and you can fix it later
Log GF Items now has a Purchase Date field that defaults to today but you can change, and the date, store name, and location are all editable later from the item's edit screen.
April 17, 2026
Log Medical now opens the entry form directly
The green Log Medical button on the Dashboard now takes you straight to the entry form, the same way Log Items and Log Trip do, instead of bouncing you to the list screen first.
April 17, 2026
Long Receipts Can Now Be Captured Across Multiple Pages
Log GF Items now lets you attach multiple photos or a PDF to a single receipt, so a long paper receipt can be captured in as many shots as it takes.
April 17, 2026
Migrations Now Have a Tracked Applied Log
Added a durable source of truth for which Supabase migrations are applied to which project, so Claude sessions stop repeatedly asking fracGoddess about migrations that have already been run.
April 17, 2026
Newly Logged Items Always Appear at the Top of Recent
After saving a new medical expense, trip, or receipt, the Dashboard Recent list now surfaces it first when other items share the same date.
April 17, 2026
Recent Now Shows the Most Recently Logged Entry First
The Dashboard Recent list now sorts by when you logged each entry, not by the date on the entry, so a back-dated medical expense, trip, or receipt always shows up at the top right after you save it.
April 17, 2026
Reports heading now reads Your Expense Log
The heading at the top of the Reports screen used to say "Your Tax Report" which made Gluten Hero sound like a tax product; it now reads "Your Expense Log" to match how the app actually works.
April 17, 2026
Site Description No Longer Uses Forbidden Language
The Gluten Hero web app's meta description and Open Graph description used the phrase "for tax deductions," which sits on the project's forbidden-phrase list. Both now describe what the app actually does, tracking the premium paid for safe food and keeping CPA-ready documentation.
April 17, 2026
Support Tickets Migration Is Now Safe to Re-run
The support tickets database migration no longer errors out when some of its objects already exist, so re-running it in Supabase is safe.
April 12, 2026

April 12, 2026

The project instructions file now documents Bug Desk, support tickets, and notes which features are migrating to the glutenhero-community repo.
April 12, 2026

April 12, 2026

The readiness gauge on the Dashboard has been replaced by a clear onboarding checklist in Settings that shows exactly which steps you have completed and which are left.

April 11, 2026
Adding a Medical Expense Returns You to the Dashboard
After logging a new medical expense, the app now takes you back to the Dashboard so you can see the entry in Recent right away, matching how logging a receipt already worked.
April 11, 2026
Dates Now Show the Day You Actually Picked
Logging a trip, receipt, or medical expense with a date from the picker no longer shows the day before in the app. Every screen that renders a stored date now treats the stored value as a local day rather than a UTC timestamp, which was the root cause of the off-by-one display.
April 11, 2026
Delete Asks Before Removing Anything
Tapping the trash icon on a receipt, trip, or medical expense now opens a confirmation dialog showing exactly what will be removed, so accidental taps no longer lose data.
April 11, 2026
Incomplete Items Can No Longer Disappear on Save
When logging multiple items on one receipt, any row where you started typing but did not finish used to get dropped silently on save. The form now warns you about incomplete rows and blocks save until you either fill them in or remove them.
April 11, 2026
Medical Expense Form Gets the Same Photo Control
Adding or editing a medical expense now uses the same Take Photo and From Photos buttons as adding a receipt, with full support for viewing, replacing, and removing an existing photo while editing.
April 11, 2026
Rage Clicks on Delete No Longer Fire Duplicate Requests
Tapping the trash icon multiple times on a laggy connection used to queue up extra delete requests that would clutter the console with errors. Deletes are now deduplicated so only the first click counts.
April 11, 2026
Receipt Edit and Delete No Longer Error Out on Stale Clicks
Editing or deleting a receipt item now handles the rare race where the row has already been removed, preventing the 'editReceipt failed' error that showed up in the console during mobile testing.
April 11, 2026
Receipt Photos Display Reliably in Edit Screens
Receipt images attached to receipts and medical expenses now use short-lived signed URLs so they display correctly whether the storage buckets are public or private.
April 11, 2026
Saving a Medical Expense Is Instant Again
Tapping Save on a medical expense no longer locks the cursor for several seconds while a large receipt photo uploads. The upload now happens when you pick the photo instead of when you save, matching how the Log Items form already worked.
April 11, 2026
Tap Any Recent Entry to Edit It
Every card in the Dashboard Recent list now opens its own edit screen when you tap it, so editing a receipt, trip, or medical expense works the same way across the board.
April 10, 2026

April 10, 2026

April 10, 2026
Support Ticket System (Backend)
The database and service layer for the support ticket system are live, giving users a way to submit, track, and communicate on support requests.
April 10, 2026
Travel Trip Editing

April 7, 2026

April 7, 2026
Photos Now Compress Before Upload
Receipt and medical expense photos are resized and re-encoded to a lighter JPEG before they leave the phone, so logging a receipt on cellular is faster and the app stays well under Supabase storage limits as beta ramps up.
April 7, 2026
Report Readiness Now Counts Medical Expenses
The Report Readiness gauge on the dashboard now recognizes medical expenses, so users who track prescriptions, specialist visits, and equipment get credit for their work toward a complete report.
April 7, 2026
Surface Real Errors in the Medical Expense Form
When saving a medical expense fails, the form now shows the actual database message instead of a generic error, so future schema mismatches and permission issues are easy to diagnose.
April 7, 2026
Tax Professional Terminology
All user-facing copy in the app now says tax professional instead of CPA, since not every preparer is a CPA and the broader term covers more of our users.
April 7, 2026
Travel and Receipt Saves Wait for the Server
Logging a trip or a receipt now waits for the database to confirm the save before showing the success animation, and surfaces any underlying error inline so silent failures stop happening.
April 7, 2026
Travel Log Date Field, Recent Logs Fix, Button Styling
Three small fixes to the Dashboard and Travel Log so logged entries appear correctly and the action buttons read cleanly.
April 5, 2026
