Changelog

Creative Director for Thumbnails — A new AI layer now chooses the best visual style (Photography, 3D, Flat, Data Viz, or Abstract) based on your blog topic. All thumbnails now incorporate your brand colors automatically.

Edge Speed Boost — Optimized our caching strategy with a 60-second revalidation layer. New posts and updates now appear globally almost instantly without sacrificing page load performance.

Gemini 3.1 Standardisation — All text generation features, including post writing, style selection, and inline editing, have been upgraded to Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite for superior quality and speed.

Instant Cache Invalidation — Regenerating a thumbnail or updating brand settings now instantly purges the internal and edge caches for affected posts.

AI Thumbnail Generation — Blog posts now automatically get a unique AI-generated 16:9 cover image when created. Regenerate anytime from the post editor sidebar with a 60-second cooldown between generations.

Cloudflare R2 image storage — Thumbnails are stored on Cloudflare R2 and served through the app — no public bucket access required.

Step-by-step domain connection guide — A fully illustrated /docs/connect guide now walks non-technical users through connecting their domain on Vercel, Cloudflare, Netlify, or Nginx. Available from Settings → Routing.

Email your developer — From Settings → Routing & Proxy, generate a pre-filled email with platform-specific config snippet and numbered instructions to send to whoever manages your site. Includes a "Copy message" button too.

Live proxy connection check — The dashboard and Settings now verify your proxy connection live on every page load instead of relying on stale database state. The badge updates to reflect the actual current status.

/blog + /blogs both work as index — The blog proxy now serves the index at both /blog and /blogs. If you only have /blogs wired up, you'll see a "Config Update Needed" warning in the dashboard and settings.

ProxyBadge states — The dashboard proxy badge now shows three states: green (Edge Connected), amber (Config Update Needed), red (Proxy Offline). The amber and red states are clickable links to Settings.

Force Dark Mode — Toggle dark mode for your entire blog from Settings → Brand & Design. The template background, text, and secondary colors all update and the post cache is cleared immediately.

Publish to Edge — After publishing, a toast now tells you that content may take a minute or two to appear while the edge cache warms up. The preview button bypasses the cache so you see changes immediately.

Autopilot thumbnails — Posts published via Autopilot also get AI-generated thumbnails automatically.

Connection check false positive — The proxy health check previously said "Connected" even when only the /blogs route (not /blog) was wired. Fixed using a direct HEAD check with an X-Nurio-Proxy response header.

GitHub and Google OAuth — Sign in or sign up with GitHub or Google. Existing accounts are linked automatically if the email matches.

Session analytics — Post views now track source (organic, AI, social, direct), device, browser, OS, country, scroll depth, time on page, and click heatmap data.

AI traffic detection — Visits from Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI tools are detected and categorised separately from organic search.

Bot filtering — Bot visits (Googlebot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) are tracked separately and excluded from human view counts.

Invite links — Custom invite links (/?inv=test) show a landing modal with a discount code and animated mouse-following border glow.

Brand scanner — Settings → Brand & Design can scan your website and extract your brand colors, fonts, and design tokens automatically.

Force dark mode — Initial implementation of per-workspace dark mode for the public blog template.
