What's new in Ordentus

Changed Open signup — the waitlist is retired

• Anyone can create a free account now. No invite, no waitlist, no "request access" — head to the app and your calendars are on one page in under a minute.
• Ordentus is free during the beta; a simple subscription is planned for later.

New Public pages

• How it works at /how-it-works — the unified-feed and selective-sharing story, with an honest side-by-side comparison against Google Calendar, Outlook and CalendarBridge.
• Status at /status — a live status page that checks the running service (/healthz and /api/version) on load, rather than showing a hand-set badge.
• Contact at /contact — the right inbox for questions, privacy and data requests, or legal.

Fixed Dead links & alignment

• Fixed the footer's Status and Contact links, which pointed at a placeholder #, and wired "Read the full privacy approach" to /privacy.
• Fixed the landing nav: the Ordentus logo is now left-aligned with the hero headline instead of sitting too far right.

Improved Changelog

• Brought this changelog current — it had fallen well behind the shipped build.

New Sharing & invitations

• Per-event invitations — share a single event by link. Pending invites show up as in-grid RSVP "ghost" events in the recipient's calendar until they respond.
• A shared-calendar discovery nudge, with a personalised why-Ordentus page for someone a friend has shared with.

New Agent API & email

• A bearer-token API for AI agents at /api/external — read and write calendar items programmatically. Setup is documented in the AI access guide.
• Transactional email — account verification, password reset and invite messages, delivered through Resend.

New Pages & guides

• An About page — why Ordentus exists, and what it believes.
• A university timetable import guide — get your class schedule into Ordentus.

Improved Platform

• Steadier calendar sync and event deduplication across merged feeds, plus assorted timezone and recurrence fixes.

Improved Landing page

• The Request access button in the top-right nav now opens the dedicated request-access page instead of scrolling to the in-page form.

Improved Terms & Conditions

• The contents rail now follows along as you read — the section you're in is highlighted (and kept in view) as you scroll the page.
• The current-section highlight is a soft rounded pill for an easier, less boxy look.
• Fixed a stray horizontal scrollbar that could appear under the contents rail.

New Request access

• A dedicated request-access page — one clear action, honest scarcity, and the privacy receipt, in the marketing register.
• The page's social-proof numbers — people on the list, invited this week, and typical wait — are now editable by an admin from the Waitlist tab and shown live via /api/waitlist/public-stats.
• The signup form posts to the real waitlist endpoint with calm success / already-on-list / error states.

New Pages & content

• Terms and Conditions at /tos (and /terms) — full plain-language terms with a sticky contents rail.
• AI access guide at /guides/ai-access — how to connect an AI agent to Ordentus through the API.
• This changelog, at /changelog.
• A design gallery at /roadmap, now with a top navigation bar (Sign in · Request access).

New Admin dashboard

• A notification badge on the Waitlist tab that flags new signups since you last looked, and clears when you open it.
• A Public display numbers editor in the Waitlist tab for the request-access figures.

Improved Marketing & SEO

• Added a social/search preview image (Open Graph + Twitter) to the landing, Terms, gallery and request-access pages.
• sitemap.xml and robots.txt updated so Terms, the gallery, the AI guide and request-access are indexable.
• Fonts now load via a direct stylesheet link with preconnect on every content page — no more system-font fallback.

Fixed & housekeeping

• Removed the duplicate "Restart server" control from the admin dashboard (the Deployment one remains).
• Added a recurrence-rules (RRULE) support reference to the admin Events page.
• Documented content-page conventions in CONTENT_PAGES.md for consistent future pages.

• Improved calendar sync reliability and event deduplication across merged feeds.
• Improved the health dashboard — sleep stages, debt trend, and cognition forecast.
• Fixed assorted timezone edge cases in recurring-event expansion.

• New onboarding flow and a refreshed home greeting hero.
• Improved API-token management in Account Settings.

• New public waitlist signup on the landing page, with an admin Waitlist view and CSV export.
• New admin deployment tools — ZIP upload, push to production, history and rollback.
