Product updates for Shortify

Public changelog is live

Shortify now has a dedicated public changelog page instead of a private placeholder inside the app shell. This first pass is focused on getting the route, MDX content model, and layout integrated cleanly into the existing Next.js app.

That means future updates can live in one MDX file, be published publicly at /changelog, and stay easy to edit without adding a CMS or another moving piece.

Included in v0

• Added a standalone public changelog route at /changelog
• Ported the Tailwind Plus changelog layout into the existing app
• Wired MDX entries into the app router so updates can be written as release notes
• Opened the route for indexing by search engines and sitemap discovery

MDX-based release workflow

The changelog now keeps the authoring surface simple without depending on a custom MDX compilation pipeline. Each release note is an explicit MDX entry, so the content stays readable in the repo and the route still renders with the same timeline shell.

That gives us a nice middle ground. The page stays custom and polished, but the source of truth is still just markdown-like content that is easy to maintain in the repo.

Why this setup

• No CMS required for simple release notes
• Every release entry still gets a stable deep link and timeline date
• The styling is route-local, so the rest of the app does not inherit changelog presentation rules
• The Next.js config stays compatible with the repo's default development workflow

Ready for content updates

The visual system is intentionally close to the original template for now so we could get the structure in place quickly. The next pass can focus on replacing placeholder copy, adding real release screenshots, and tuning the branding so it feels more native to Shortify.

Next easy wins

• Replace this starter copy with real product updates
• Add screenshots or short GIFs for larger releases
• Add an RSS feed if you want subscribers and feed readers to pick up updates
• Adjust the intro copy, links, and visuals to better match the main marketing site
