v2.20.16
Fixed
- SEO: free-tool internal links + youtube-video-analysis guide
Changelog
What's new in VidSnap.
v2.20.15
Fixed
- Free video summarizer: removed YouTube videos now fail instantly with a clear message instead of spinning for minutes (VID-231)
v2.20.14
Fixed
- Free video summarizer: guest flow hardened and test-locked — share-link URLs, summary-length limits, no more endless waits (VID-231)
- Free video summarizer page: FAQ answers marked up with FAQPage structured data (VID-232)
v2.20.13
Fixed
- Citability structure (VID-229) + auto-topic generation quality (VID-230): provenance byline on public summaries (VidSnap AI · channel · date · source link), outbound 'Watch original' links on summary cards, semantic related-topics lists, honest landing claims; new auto topics now get 'X — Summarized' keywordH1, acronym-aware humanized names, and 5 rotating definitional intros
v2.20.12
Fixed
- Topic citability data pass: 50 curated intro rewrites (definitional answer blocks naming subject + VidSnap) and 25 high-traffic auto hubs curated in place with proper names ('AI Tools' not 'Aitools'), keywordH1s, and intros; alias merges for sibling hashtag hubs
v2.20.11
Fixed
- remove free 20-minute video cap
v2.20.10
Fixed
- GEO citability: topic-hub intros + answer-first hero
v2.20.9
Fixed
- fix: build-lint gate on summary title test
v2.20.8
Fixed
- fix: duplicate brand suffix in utility-page titles
v2.20.7
Fixed
- SEO fixes: utility-page metadata, single-H1 summaries, title caps
v2.20.6
Fixed
- Dashboard polish: the search field and the + button look right again, and summary dates no longer wrap onto three lines.
- Videos that take longer than four minutes to summarize no longer time out prematurely — slower runs finish and show up in your list.
v2.20.5
Fixed
- Fixed a handshake mismatch that could leave finished videos stuck on the processing card — completed videos now show up in your list again.
v2.20.4
Fixed
- Videos that finished processing no longer get stuck on the card when the credit step hiccups — your summary is delivered, and any credit issue is handled in the background.
v2.20.3
Fixed
- Retrying a failed video no longer leaves it blocking your queue — videos waiting behind it start processing right away.
v2.20.2
Fixed
- If a video fails to process without an error message, the card now shows a clear error with a Try again button instead of a frozen progress bar.
v2.20.1
Fixed
- The processing card no longer shows progress jumping backward (e.g. 20% → 5%) right after you submit — progress now only moves forward.
v2.20.0
Changed
- Faster start: the window for processing a video closes right after you hit Analyze — you get back to your list in about a second instead of waiting on the full pipeline. Your video still processes in the background with live progress on the card.
v2.19.1
Fixed
- The PWA now actually tells you when a new version is available: a toast with a refresh button appears after the update downloads, instead of silently keeping the old app open until your next visit.
v2.19.0
Fixed
- Processing a queued video no longer makes the previous finished video disappear from your list — it shows up as soon as the next video starts.
v2.18.0
Added
- Topic pages are smarter: the summarizer now uses the existing topic list when generating hashtags, and genuinely new topics get a proper descriptive name instead of a raw hashtag.
v2.17.0
Changed
- Topic pages are cleaner: hashtag variations now fold into one canonical topic (e.g. #aiagent and #aiagents both become AI Agents), accent-spelling variants merge, and topics only show in the directory once they have enough videos.
v2.16.0
Added
- Every video's hashtags now get their own topic page — processing a video about a new topic automatically creates a hub with its related summaries.
v2.15.0
Fixed
- Paste a second video while one is processing and it queues up instead of replacing the first card — you can cancel it, and it starts automatically when the current video finishes.
- The paste button no longer asks for clipboard access on page load, and shows a clear message when clipboard access is blocked.
Added
- Live YouTube stream links (youtube.com/live/…) are now accepted.
v2.6.0
Changed
- The homepage got a refresh: one clear Start Free button, a video showcase that opens real summaries of popular business talks, and a topic grid focused on business and competitive intelligence.
- Landing copy is now fully translated, so Chinese visitors get the same story.
v2.5.0
Added
- A sticky, frosted-glass header now stays with you on every page — including on phones.
- Your Google profile picture now appears automatically when you sign in with an existing account.
- Summaries are filed under curated topics at save time, so topic pages stay fresh.
Fixed
- Topic hub pages no longer error out, and unavailable video thumbnails are hidden gracefully.
- The dashboard header no longer scrolls away while you browse.
v2.4.0
Added
- A topic directory and curated topic hubs make every public summary discoverable by subject.
v2.3.4
Added
- Dashboard summaries load with a spinner, and load performance is now tracked so slow loads can be measured.
- Privacy Policy and Terms of Service now match the approved VidSnap copy.
- Support links across the app consistently open mail to support@vidsnap.me.
Changed
- Signed-in visitors see a "Go to my dashboard" button on the homepage instead of sign-up prompts.
- The Process Video button shows a short "Processing…" label on mobile.
- The pricing monthly/yearly toggle now fits narrow phones.
- Upgrade buttons deep-link to the next plan on the pricing page, highlighted as the primary action.
v2.3.3
Fixed
- Signing in with Google now always lets you choose which account to use — after logging out you can switch to a different Gmail account.
v2.3.2
Changed
- Transcript timestamps now play the video right on the summary page — no more jumping to YouTube.
Fixed
- A summary that fails with a temporary processing error is retried automatically, and you get a 'Try again' button if it still doesn't complete.
- After signing in from the homepage you go straight to your dashboard.
v2.3.1
Added
- Profile pictures are now cropped to a circle and optimized — a small, fast avatar instead of the full-size photo.
v2.3.0
Added
- Timestamped transcripts on summary pages — jump straight to any moment in the video.
Fixed
- Accounts created with Google sign-in now show your free 5 summaries/month allowance and save completed summaries to your library.
- Signing up with an email that already has an account now clearly tells you to sign in instead.
v2.2.0
Added
- Transcripts are now fetched for free, so summary processing starts faster without the paid provider.
v2.1.0
Added
- Share any summary with a tracked link — WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or X — and use your phone's native share sheet.
- Add a summary you find on a shared page straight to your own library.
- A Time Saved widget on summary pages showing how much reading time a summary saves you.
- Start a summary by sharing a YouTube link to VidSnap from your phone.
Fixed
- Processing cards now keep their progress if you navigate away and come back.
v2.0.1
Added
- Install VidSnap as an app on your phone or desktop with a quick install prompt.
v2.0.0
Added
- VidSnap 2.0 — a complete rebuild of the app with a fresh look and feel.
- Competitive intelligence summaries: paste a YouTube URL and get a structured summary of your competitors' videos.
- Dashboard with your credit balance, recent summaries, search, and grid/list views.
- My Summaries list and detail pages with inline playback and resume-where-you-left-off.
- Pricing plans (monthly or yearly) with secure card checkout and one-off credit packs.
- A new onboarding flow that shows what you get free and how to upgrade.
- Improved search visibility and shareable pages with rich previews.
Changed
- Creating a summary now happens directly on the dashboard — no separate page to juggle.
- Faster, more reliable processing pipeline behind the scenes.
