## Context
|
|
|
|
trails.cool ships features regularly but has no user-facing changelog. The
|
|
project philosophy values transparency and simplicity. We need a changelog
|
|
that's low-friction to write (just add a markdown file), works in-app, and
|
|
produces shareable social links.
|
|
|
|
## Goals / Non-Goals
|
|
|
|
**Goals:**
|
|
- Zero-friction authoring: drop a `.md` file, deploy, done
|
|
- Public page at `/changelog` listing all entries newest-first
|
|
- Individual entry pages at `/changelog/:slug` with OG meta for social sharing
|
|
- "What's New" indicator in nav for returning users
|
|
- Works without JavaScript (SSR)
|
|
|
|
**Non-Goals:**
|
|
- CMS or admin interface for writing entries
|
|
- RSS feed (future, not now)
|
|
- Email notifications for new entries
|
|
- Per-entry images or rich media (just markdown text)
|
|
- Bilingual entries (English only for now)
|
|
|
|
## Decisions
|
|
|
|
### D1: Markdown files in the repo, loaded at build time
|
|
|
|
Changelog entries live in `apps/journal/changelog/` as markdown files named
|
|
by date: `2026-03-25.md`. Vite's `import.meta.glob` loads them at build time.
|
|
No runtime file system access needed.
|
|
|
|
Each file has YAML frontmatter:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: "Collaborative route planning goes live"
|
|
date: 2026-03-25
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### D2: Single route with dynamic slug
|
|
|
|
`/changelog` shows all entries. `/changelog/:date` shows a single entry.
|
|
Both are one route file using an optional param or two route files. The list
|
|
page shows titles + dates + first paragraph preview.
|
|
|
|
### D3: "What's New" via localStorage timestamp
|
|
|
|
Store `changelog:lastSeen` timestamp in localStorage. If the newest entry's
|
|
date is after this timestamp, show a dot on the nav "Changelog" link. Clicking
|
|
the changelog page updates the timestamp. No server state needed.
|
|
|
|
### D4: Open Graph meta for social sharing
|
|
|
|
Each `/changelog/:date` page sets `og:title`, `og:description` (first
|
|
paragraph), and `og:url`. No og:image for now — text previews are fine.
|
|
|
|
## Risks / Trade-offs
|
|
|
|
- **Build-time loading means deploy to publish** → Acceptable. We deploy on
|
|
every merge to main. Adding a changelog entry is: write file, PR, merge,
|
|
deployed.
|
|
- **No rich media** → Keeps it simple. Can add images later if needed.
|
|
- **localStorage "what's new" doesn't sync across devices** → Fine for now.
|
|
Server-side tracking would require auth and a DB table — overkill.
