Major release history
v0.18.0 — Connection Architecture & Trust
25 June 2026 · Available
Rebuilt the member journey around one Connect space, a useful For You home, visible trust signals, mobile-first navigation and stronger cold-start experiences.
- Grouped Browse, Right now, Dating and personal Ads into one Connect destination so a small community no longer feels split across four unrelated rooms.
- Replaced the thirteen-item horizontal dashboard rail with five primary desktop destinations, account-specific controls in the account menu and a thumb-friendly mobile bottom bar.
- Turned Member Home into a For You surface for pending introductions, unread conversations, agreement reviews, profile completion and current community activity.
- Made age-and-identity verification, reviewed photographs, founding status and membership history visible as consistent trust signals on profiles and discovery cards.
- Introduced wax-seal moments for verified accounts and mutually confirmed agreements, consistent Lucide system icons, loading skeletons and action-led empty states.
- Added an installable PWA shell and a critical-first moderation queue with severity filters and reusable response templates.
- Kept all existing privacy, reciprocal discovery, verification, location, modal scrolling and notification protections intact.
v0.17.0 — Oxblood & Ink — Interface Clarity
25 June 2026 · Available
Refined the complete interface into a calmer, clearer Oxblood & Ink system and removed ambiguity from discovery cards, controls, menus, and profile signals.
- Introduced honest colour tokens so gold consistently means metal, oxblood consistently means action and identity, and destructive actions remain visually separate.
- Improved primary-action contrast, control sizing, typography, card rhythm, focus states, responsive spacing, and reduced-motion behaviour across public, member, and staff areas.
- Centred every no-photo role mark and rebuilt Discover card metadata into readable location, distance, language, compatibility, and connection-preference signals.
- Replaced the ambiguous ‘Online open’ wording with ‘Open to online’, clearly separating relationship preference from real-time presence.
- Darkened profile-card previews and themed native selects, option menus, file controls, navigation menus, drawers, and overlays for consistent contrast.
- Preserved the v0.16.1 internal profile scrolling and page-lock correction across every profile dialog and fixed overlay.
v0.16.0 — Editorial Design System & Profile Experience
25 June 2026 · Available
Refined the complete visual system and rebuilt public profiles so detailed member information remains elegant, readable, and genuinely useful on every screen size.
- Rebuilt the public profile around identity, introduction, practical facts, intentions, connection style, interests, and boundaries instead of presenting one long data sheet.
- Corrected preference and interest tags that could collapse into uninterrupted text, and introduced consistent wrapping pills across profiles and discovery cards.
- Refined typography, spacing, colour contrast, cards, forms, buttons, navigation, dashboard tabs, modals, member home, discovery, dating, messaging, community, and staff surfaces.
- Expanded the profile editor and improved responsive behaviour for narrow phones, tablets, laptops, and large displays without changing member data or privacy rules.
- Changed the public Releases page to feature major product releases and day-one foundations while keeping minor hotfix records internal.
v0.15.0 — Verification Controls & Distance Integrity
25 June 2026 · Available
Corrected false proximity labels and added controlled alternatives for members who cannot complete the primary verification flow.
- Fixed a distance-calculation defect that could treat missing location cells as zero coordinates and incorrectly label unrelated members as nearby.
- Unknown distance now remains unknown; Nearby excludes profiles without a valid coarse location while country, worldwide, and online discovery continue normally.
- Added an Owner-only manual verification queue for live video ID, in-person ID, identity-only vouching, and approved fallback-provider results.
- Kept personal familiarity separate from adult age assurance and added conflict-of-interest records, revocation, member requests, and a complete audit trail.
- Added separate adult-age, identity, source, and method records without storing identity-document photographs or document numbers.
v0.13.0 — Global Discovery & Location
24 June 2026 · Available
Turned D/s Bond into a genuinely worldwide dating community with member-controlled geographic reach.
- Added structured country, region, city, time-zone, language, travel, and relocation preferences.
- Added For You, Nearby, My Region, My Country, Worldwide, Online, direct-country, language, and distance browsing.
- Created separate reciprocal controls for where members browse, who may find them, and who may contact them.
- Added privacy-preserving Travel Mode and broad distance bands without publishing live or exact locations.
- Added country-level operational controls so features can be limited where legal or safety requirements differ.
v0.12.0 — Explicit Gallery Readiness & SEO Expansion
24 June 2026 · Readiness added — explicit uploads remain disabled
Prepared the private gallery for a future lawful explicit-adult-content launch and rebuilt the public search journeys.
- Kept mandatory age and identity verification and added separate recipient opt-in for explicit gallery viewing.
- Added uploader attestations, human moderation, covered moderator previews, quarantine, reporting, and safeguarding records.
- Kept the explicit-gallery activation switch off pending legal and operational sign-off.
- Made all six dating search pages genuinely different in structure, audience, FAQs, examples, and calls to action.
- Removed Join, Sign in, Register, and profile-creation prompts from those pages for signed-in members.
v0.11.0 — Private Circle Gallery
24 June 2026 · Available
Added a private, individually shared photo space for trusted Circle connections.
- Added a small moderated gallery that is owner-only by default.
- Let owners grant and revoke access separately for each accepted Circle member.
- Rechecked approval, active grant, Circle status, and blocks whenever a photograph is requested.
- Automatically revoked access when a Circle relationship ended or either member blocked the other.
- Added individual photo reporting, account export coverage, and secure storage cleanup.
v0.10.0 — Growth, Discovery & Security
24 June 2026 · Available
Made public pages discoverable in search while giving members finer control over who can find and contact them.
- Added prerendered public pages with unique titles, descriptions, canonical links, structured data, and a sitemap.
- Added dedicated FemDom, Female-led relationship, submissive-men, D/s, kink-aware, and online D/s pages.
- Added private-by-default gender and orientation information plus reciprocal discovery and contact preferences.
- Added abandoned-verification account lifecycle rules, stronger abuse controls, security notices, and recovery procedures.
- Added repeatable database backup and recovery guidance.
v0.9.0 — Operations & Trust
24 June 2026 · Available
Strengthened account security, staff accountability, notifications, and day-to-day platform operations.
- Added revocable sessions and a member-facing signed-in devices page.
- Added Owner, Administrator, and Moderator roles with separated permissions.
- Made authenticator MFA mandatory for staff accounts.
- Added notification preferences while keeping essential safety and service messages enabled.
- Improved session retention, password-reset invalidation, and staff access controls.
