Changelog

Local Workspace, Guided Workflows & Offline Support

• Added locally stored favourite and recently used tool lists, plus a Cmd/Ctrl+K command palette for faster tool navigation.
• Introduced guided workflows for timesheet-to-invoice-to-signature, images-to-shareable-PDF, and proposal-to-signature tasks.
• Added a browser-only IndexedDB workspace with named projects, autosaved compatible Invoice and Timesheet drafts, JSON backup, and restore.
• Made the site installable as a PWA and added an offline cached app-shell experience.
• Hardened offline caching so the application shell and its required assets are stored before use without a connection.
• Added consent-gated, anonymous measurement for zero-result tool searches and completed workflows; search text and tool data are never sent as events.
• Replaced duplicated hidden SEO content with genuine Chromium-prerendered route markup.
• Separated the Hostinger-safe build from the browser-only prerender build: create upload-ready HTML locally or in CI, then deploy the finished static artifact.
• Rewrote the main site messaging around the practical promises that matter most: 100% free use, no account or trial, browser-based core processing, and consent-controlled optional tracking.
• Rebuilt the homepage around a complete icon-led tool library: every available tool is now visible from the homepage, grouped by category with direct links and category jump navigation.
• Added Vitest unit tests plus Playwright command-palette, offline, and axe WCAG accessibility coverage.
• Improved light-theme primary colour contrast and the advertisement label after automated accessibility testing identified the issues.

Cookie Consent & Privacy Controls

• Replaced the simple accept/decline cookie banner with a full Cookiebot-style consent system featuring per-category controls.
• Added a Cookie Preferences modal with granular toggles for Strictly Necessary, Analytics, and Advertising cookies.
• Google Analytics (GA4) and AdSense now only load after explicit user consent - no tracking fires on first visit.
• Added a "Cookie preferences" link in the footer so users can update their choices at any time.
• Consent is stored locally and persists across visits; legacy consent values are automatically migrated.
• Fixed CSP headers to allow all required Google Analytics, AdSense, and Funding Choices domains.
• Overhauled the Email Signature Generator with a redesigned layout, live preview indicator, and improved copy-to-clipboard workflow.

UI Polish & Consistency Update

• Applied consistent "polished" styling across all 50 tools - gradient tool headers, section cards with icon + title headers, and standardized alert banners.
• Replaced all hardcoded color values with design tokens for full light/dark mode consistency.
• Improved mobile responsiveness across all tools with proper single-column layouts and full-width action buttons on small screens.
• Standardised form elements (selects, textareas, labels) to a unified visual style with consistent focus rings.
• Fixed invoice preview scrollbar - preview now shows the full invoice without internal scroll.
• Fixed page scroll-to-top behaviour - navigating to any tool now instantly opens at the top of the page.

Major Module Expansion

• Added new Client Workflows modules: Payslip Generator, Employment Verification Letter Generator (with signature upload), and Letter of Employment Generator.
• Added new Utilities modules: Random Text Generator, Image Compressor, JSON Formatter, CSV/JSON Converter, HEX/RGB Converter, Color Contrast Checker (WCAG), and Text Diff Checker.
• Upgraded employment and payslip PDF document layouts to a cleaner, formal style for production-ready outputs.
• Resolved the INR symbol PDF export crash by applying WinAnsi-safe currency/text handling in payslip generation.
• Expanded routing and tool discovery so all newly shipped modules are available from homepage search and categorized listings.

Security Hardening Update

• Hardened contact and feedback APIs with stronger anti-spam controls, including timing checks, honeypot handling, and server-side rate limiting.
• Added safer mail header handling for contact/feedback submissions to reduce header-injection risk in email subject and reply-to fields.
• Strengthened feedback screenshot validation with stricter JPEG content checks and safer uploaded-file handling.
• Added CSV formula-injection protection across exported CSV files in Timesheet, Task Checklist, Meeting Notes, Expense Tracker, and Monthly Budget tools.

Signature Placement Accuracy Fix

• Fixed a Digital Signature issue where rotated stamps looked correct in preview but exported incorrectly in the final PDF.
• Improved rotation mapping between on-screen drag placement and PDF output so angle and anchor position now match.
• Stabilized signed PDF output consistency for multi-stamp signing workflows.

Compliance Upgrades

• Added a complete Contact Us form with spam protection and direct support submission.
• Upgraded Bug/Feature reporting to support direct send and optional JPG screenshot upload.
• Published detailed Privacy Policy and Terms of Use pages for clearer legal and compliance coverage.
