Built in the open

  • Releasev1.2.025 July 2026

    Books from readers, sharper ratings, dozens of new badges

    The biggest update since launch. If a book is missing from the catalogue you can now add it yourself - describe it once, and after a quick check it becomes a real entry everyone can use, with a note back to you when yours goes in. Ratings have been rebuilt around the way people actually think about scores: choose 5 stars with halves or a 10-point scale, separately for TV, movies, games and books, rate individual episodes, and see what the Catalogie community made of something right next to its IMDb score. On top of that: more than 35 milestone badges to work through, a rebuilt Yearly Wraps page, a dashboard that closes up its own gaps, and a TV tab that finally tells the difference between a show you have finished and one that is only between seasons.

    • Add a book the catalogue does not have - describe it once and it becomes a shared entry for everyone once we have checked it, and you are told when yours goes in
    • Rate your way: 5 stars with halves or a 10-point scale, set separately for TV, movies, games and books, with the Catalogie community average shown alongside IMDb
    • Rate individual episodes, each with its own IMDb score on the still
    • Milestone badges grew from 6 to more than 35, in tiers you can work through, and Yearly Wraps was rebuilt: pick any year, see your top genres ranked and both your longest and current streaks
    • A series that is still airing is no longer filed away as finished - it now sits under "More episodes coming" instead of alongside shows that ended years ago
    • Fixed: clearing a rating failed every time, follower counts stopped counting at 200, and the bottom bar could go missing in the installed app
    • Closed a privacy gap where the follower and following lists of a private profile could be read by anyone, and hardened the tools we use to run the service
  • Patchv1.1.317 July 2026

    A faster library, clearer messages and performance improvements

    A patch built almost entirely out of things that were quietly wrong. Logging a game session with tomorrow's date could take your whole dashboard down with it - that is fixed, and nothing can be marked watched, played or read before it is out. Your library and your follower count now keep themselves up to date as you move around the app, so a change you make on your phone shows up on your laptop without a reload. Movies finally show when you watched them: those dates were recorded all along, going back years, and the list simply never showed them. Everything is quicker, too - posters load as you scroll instead of all at once, the library sends about half the data it used to, and book pages come back faster and far more reliably.

    • Fixed a bug where a game session logged with a future date could take your entire dashboard down
    • Nothing can be marked watched, played or read before it is out - and when Catalogie refuses something, or a service it relies on is having trouble, it now says why instead of shrugging
    • Your library and follower count refresh as you use the app - no more reloading to see a change you made on another device
    • Movies now show when you watched them, going back to the very first one you logged
    • Faster all round: posters load as you scroll, the library sends about half the data, and book pages come back quicker and far more reliably
  • Patchv1.1.216 June 2026

    A clearer sign-in, steadier rendering and these diaries

    A patch focused on getting people in - and back out - cleanly. The sign-in and create-account screens now state the Terms and Privacy Policy you agree to, link both, and add a copyright line and a prominent "Back to home" button, so signing in is transparent and never a dead end. We also closed a rendering bug where slow or blocked web fonts could briefly scramble a page - fonts are now self-hosted from our own domain - and shipped the standalone Dev Diaries page you're reading.

    • Sign-in and create-account now state the Terms and Privacy Policy you agree to, with both linked and a copyright line
    • A prominent "Back to home" button on the auth screens - the login page is no longer a dead end
    • Fixed a bug where slow or blocked web fonts could briefly scramble a page - fonts are now self-hosted from our own domain
    • Shipped this standalone Dev Diaries page, with Terms and Privacy links in the homepage footer
  • Patchv1.1.115 June 2026

    Sign-up safety, a friendlier date picker and polish

    A reliability, polish and hardening patch gathering everything shipped since v1.1.0. We closed a sign-up bug that could lock people out of their own account, added a fail-safe for missing verification emails, shipped a friendlier date picker, refined profiles, finished the rename to Catalogie, and made the app more crawlable - with mobile fixes throughout.

    • Fixed a sign-up bug that could permanently lock someone out of their own account
    • Unverified sign-ins now auto-resend a fresh verification email if one goes missing
    • A new date picker for logging watch dates - jump by month or year
    • Profile activity heatmaps now open on your most recent week, not January
    • Made the app readable to search engines and hardened it against false flags
    • Tightened test coverage and CI so regressions get caught before release
  • Releasev1.1.014 June 2026

    Following, notifications and a faster library

    Our first feature drop after launch makes Catalogie social. Follow other people, keep a profile that is yours to share down to a single title, and get a quiet nudge when it matters - all on top of a library that now loads noticeably faster.

    • Follow people and shape a public profile you control
    • Comments and reactions on the titles you track
    • Opt-in push notifications when someone follows you
    • Founding Member badges for the first 1,000 accounts
    • Faster library loads and a stack of launch-week fixes
