Changelog

Everything we have shipped to Evaluation Guru, newest first. Dates are when each change went live.

  1. Groundwork for white-label branding and custom questions

    • Behind the scenes

      White-label branding is built: your logo and brand colour on invitation emails, the feedback page, reports, share links and PDFs, without the "Powered by" line. It is part of the Pro and Team plans and switches on when paid plans launch.

    • Behind the scenes

      Every campaign now keeps its own frozen copy of its questions, so later edits to a template never change a survey that has already gone out. This is the foundation for the custom question editor and template library.

  2. Share, export and remind

    Reports leave the app, reminders go out on their own, and the whole product got an accessibility pass.

    • New

      Share a curated report with the person being reviewed through a private link. You choose what they see, and respondent email addresses are never included.

    • New

      Export any report as a PDF, or print it with a print-ready layout and cover page.

    • New

      Automatic reminders before a campaign deadline, and campaigns close themselves when the deadline passes.

    • New

      Ten free feedback templates, each with its own page and ready-to-use questions, from Stop / Start / Continue to client 360s.

    • New

      Respondents can start their own feedback campaign from the thank-you page.

    • Improved

      Accessibility across the product: the campaign wizard works fully from the keyboard, forms move focus to the first problem, dialogs trap and restore focus, and the respondent form works with screen readers.

    • Improved

      A deeper brand orange and darker secondary text so every page meets WCAG AA contrast, and animations respect your reduced-motion setting.

    • Behind the scenes

      Support for storing video responses on S3-compatible object storage. It is not switched on yet.

  3. The report, settings and a new front door

    The biggest release so far: a real campaign report, campaign lifecycle controls, account settings and a rebuilt public site.

    • New

      The campaign report: results per question, NPS score and distribution, completion stats, recurring themes and video responses inline. Anonymous campaigns hide results until at least three people have answered.

    • New

      Name the person a campaign is about, with redesigned invitation emails that say who the feedback is for.

    • New

      Campaign deadlines, plus close, reopen, add recipients, and copy or resend a respondent's link.

    • New

      A guided first run and helpful empty states for new accounts.

    • New

      Account and organization settings, a full data export, and self-serve account deletion.

    • New

      A new landing page, a pricing page, and complete privacy and terms pages.

    • Improved

      One consistent layout and design system across the signed-in app.

    • Security

      Stricter input validation, authorization checks on every resource, email abuse limits, cross-site request protection, upload checks and security headers.

    • Fixed

      Searching campaigns with several words now finds them, and dashboard lists no longer show stale data after a change.

    • Behind the scenes

      Paid plans and billing are built and tested, but checkout is not open yet; every account is on the free plan for now. Also: health checks, error tracking per release, and versioned database migrations.

  4. Maintenance

    • Behind the scenes

      Dependency updates, and a seven-day cooldown before any new package version can be installed.

  5. Sign up without a password

    • New

      Create an account with just your name and email: we send a one-time sign-in link, valid for 15 minutes. The sign-in and sign-up pages were redesigned too.

    • Behind the scenes

      Every proposed change now gets its own preview environment before it ships.

  6. Faster video uploads

    • Improved

      Video responses start uploading while you review them, with a progress bar. Long recordings no longer time out.

  7. Video responses

    • New

      Respondents can record a video answer in the browser. It uploads securely and plays back in the campaign.

    • Improved

      Invitation and account emails are now sent through a dedicated email provider for reliable delivery.

    • Fixed

      Feedback links can only be used once, dashboard numbers update live, anonymous responses stay anonymous, and placeholder text no longer appears on sign-up or the dashboard.

  8. Sign-in fixes

    • Fixed

      Password reset works again, and browsers and password managers can autofill the sign-in forms.

    • Behind the scenes

      More than 80% of the app is now covered by automated end-to-end tests.

  9. Ready for the first customers

    • New

      Email delivery for invitations and account messages, error monitoring, and our first privacy and terms pages.

    • Behind the scenes

      Every change is now tested automatically and deployed to production as soon as it is approved.

  10. Access controls

    • Security

      Every API endpoint checks that you own the campaign, response or organization you ask for.

  11. Evaluation Guru goes live

    The first production release: create a feedback campaign, invite people by email, and collect their written responses.

    • New

      Create evaluation campaigns, invite respondents by email, and collect written feedback, with accounts and organizations built in.
