Product History

Product Updates

A calm, chronological record of what we build, refine, and simplify.

Web & Syndication

Category-Specific Dynamic RSS 2.0 Feeds

Unbundled our library into dedicated RSS 2.0 channels for Essays (/feed-essays.xml), Poetry (/feed-poetry.xml), Short Stories (/feed-short-stories.xml), Culture (/feed-culture.xml), and Technology (/feed-tech.xml). Readers can now subscribe strictly to genres of interest in any open feed reader without algorithmic filtering.

Discovery & SEO

Dynamic Sitemaps & Automated Web Indexing

Deployed live database-backed sitemap generation across all published stories, news articles, and author bibliographies. Ensures newly published pieces are indexed by search engines and open indexers within minutes of publishing.

Android & Navigation

Universal App Links for Home & Explore

Configured verified Android App Links for writon.cc/ and writon.cc/explore with full back-stack preservation, allowing web visitors to transition seamlessly into the native Android reading deck without registration prompts.

Android v2.0.15

Play Review Flow & Quiet Reader Telemetry

Integrated native Google Play In-App Review with strict threshold gating (7+ days active, 3+ completed stories, 120-day cooldown). Added privacy-first engagement telemetry for reading sessions without tracking pixels or personal data collection.

Editorial Layer

WritOn Journal & About Room Launch

Shipped a dedicated editorial publication layer directly on writon.cc: /about, /journal, /updates, and full RSS 2.0 feed synchronization. Built around reading-first typography and strict anti-AI slop validation.

Design System

Warm Parchment Aesthetic Standardization

Privacy & Delivery

A Quieter Way to Save Your Reading Preferences
