May 2026

Comparison hub, referral rework, footer redesign

The month TrimLink stopped looking like a side project and started looking like a real product. We finished the comparison-page push (one per major competitor), tore up the referral program and rebuilt it on infrastructure we can actually deliver against, and gave the footer the bones a finished SaaS needs — proper brand anchor, trust signals, real legal alignment.

New

  • Dedicated comparison pages at /vs/bitly, /vs/dub, /vs/short-io, and /vs/rebrandly — each with verified pricing, side-by-side feature tables, and a scoreboard of hero savings stats.
  • Referral rewards reworked from "1 free Pro month" to stackable bonus links — +10 per signup, +20 more per paid upgrade. Cleaner, more deliverable, scales without bookkeeping debt.
  • Public /referrals explainer page (auth-aware — signed-in visitors see their actual link + share buttons + stat snapshot) plus a /dashboard/referrals deep-dive.
  • Manually-curated /changelog (you are here) with monthly anchors and shareable URLs.
  • Multi-currency pricing display with IP-based geo detection — prices render in the visitor’s local currency automatically.
  • Contact page at /contact with form submission to hello@trimlink.co.

Improved

  • Footer redesign: 5-column nav (Product / Free Tools / Resources / Compare / Company), Featured On row with Trustpilot rating chip, brand wordmark + tagline anchor on the left, GDPR-aligned legal strip below.
  • Workspaces page rebuilt — cleaner switching flow, usage placeholders, faster team management UX.
  • Pricing page rebuilt with audience tabs (Individual / Team & Enterprise) and a per-card billing toggle. New /pricing/compare for the full feature matrix.
  • Landing page redesign — clearer hero, polished empty states, sharper CTA hierarchy.
  • In-app plan change + downgrade modals — no more bouncing to Polar for routine billing actions.
  • Critical E2E test coverage added for billing flow, API keys management, and QR generator.
  • Launch-promo system reworked with eligibility enforcement in checkout — no more stale promos leaking into the wrong flows.
  • Calm brand-aligned error boundary replaces the default Next error page.

Fixed

  • LinkedIn referral share switched from the deprecated share-offsite endpoint to the modern compose-intent URL — prefilled text now actually appears.
  • Logo wordmark cap-height rebalanced against the icon tile so the lockup reads as one unit at every size.
  • Husky pre-commit hooks hardened — lint + format enforced on every commit, policy enforced on push.
  • High-severity dependency vulnerabilities patched.
  • Production hardening pass — CPU caching, CI repair, email-template polish.
  • PricingPlansGrid wrapped in Suspense to fix a prerender bailout.
April 2026

Contact form + content groundwork

A quieter month focused on filling content gaps and setting marketing strategy. The new /contact route closes the loop for anyone who wants to talk to us directly; the internal strategy doc sets the playbook for everything we ship next.

New

  • Public /contact page with form submission routed to hello@trimlink.co.

Announcement

  • AI-first marketing strategy doc shipped internally — sets the playbook for how we position vs incumbents through 2026.

Fixed

  • Resolved the layout overflow ("out-stretched") issue that was breaking hero containers at specific viewport widths.
March 2026

Onboarding integrity + launch prep

Tightened the bonus-link reward flow against client-side bypass and shipped the launch-week playbook that's guided every PR push since. Small surface, real integrity wins.

Improved

  • Server-side validation added for onboarding reward claims — closes the client-side bypass that could have over-granted bonus links.
  • Active promo code auto-applies through all checkout flows so users never have to re-enter a code mid-funnel.

Announcement

  • Product Hunt launch playbook published internally — official guides + competitor case studies in one document.
February 2026

Referral architecture + SEO foundations

Refactor month. Pulled referral business logic out of the database layer into proper services, standardized component conventions, and laid the structured-data + meta groundwork that every comparison page now builds on.

Improved

  • Referral business logic moved out of the repository layer into the service layer — cleaner separation of concerns, easier to evolve the reward rules.
  • Component conventions standardized across all referral surfaces so future contributors hit the same patterns.
  • SEO foundations laid across marketing pages — structured data, meta improvements, canonical handling.

Fixed

  • Download flow for free resources patched — `/resources/utm-cheatsheet`, `/qr-best-practices`, and `/link-tracking-guide` now deliver the PDFs correctly.
  • Build pipeline stabilized after a Next.js minor upgrade introduced a static-prop edge case.
