Public pages for readers who arrive without a browser: About, FAQ, a comparison with on-demand summarizers, a comparison with other YouTube digest emails, and this changelog. Privacy and Terms moved to the same plain-HTML layer.
Public summary pages now render in full without JavaScript, so a shared link reads completely anywhere.
The landing page and public summary pages are now readable by crawlers that do not run JavaScript, including the fetchers behind AI answer engines. A robots.txt and sitemap were added.

Landing page redesign. The product sits at the fold, followed by a single live demo and the questions people ask before signing up.

Email addresses that hard-bounce or file a spam complaint are suppressed automatically. No further digests or nudges are sent to them.

Headwater Edition firmware 1.2 for the Xteink X3 and X4, with a share image and links back to the app.

The Headwater Edition page launched: one file to flash, and the reader fetches the daily issue with one button.

Positioning and copy rewritten from "read instead of watching" to "read the gist, watch what's worth it". Summaries are a guide to what deserves your time, written in Headwater's own words, with short attributed quotes and a link to every video.

E-reader sync became self-serve. Generate your OPDS feed URL from Account, add it to a reader that supports OPDS, and each day's issue arrives as an EPUB. A rolling two-week window of issues plus any collections pushed with Send to device.
