Every change to DailyRite that you can see or feel, newest first. Signed in? Reading this page clears the “What's new” bar on your briefing and dashboard.
If a friend's invite earned you Pro, you can now put a card on file any time and you won't be charged until the reward ends. Before, subscribing early started the 7-day trial right away and the rest of your reward went unused. In the last week the trial still gives you the full 7 days.
Sign up through a friend's invite link and your 30 days of Pro now switch on as soon as your email is confirmed, so your very first briefings are the Pro ones. The signup page, the setup screen, and your Plan card explain the deal: open your briefing on two different days and your friend gets a month too.
The end of setup now lists the things it didn't ask about, such as favorite teams, custom topics, and custom lesson topics, with a Fine-tune first button that takes you straight to them on the dashboard.
Three days before a Pro reward or free trial ends we now send an email (and a push notification if you have them on), and the Plan card shows the date during the last week. If a reward runs out, you get one note the same day with the easiest ways to keep Pro.
Your dashboard now has a personal invite link. When a friend signs up through it and reads their first couple of briefings, they get 30 days of Pro and so do you. Already subscribed? You get a month's credit on your next bill instead. Your card shows who joined and where each friend is in the process.
Some briefings showed the weather numbers with no condition or summary beside them. The card now always carries both, using the weather provider's own wording when the AI write-up comes back in an unusable shape or fails.
Stories under Around your leagues now carry a chip naming their league, such as NFL or Premier League, with the sport's icon. Stories from leagues where you follow a team come first.
Your sports section now shows each followed team with a badge in its official colors and an icon for the sport, so scores and upcoming games are easier to scan. The weather card adds condition icons: sun, clouds, rain, storms, snow and fog in the five-day forecast, each with its word beneath, and in the day's outlook.
State news now looks beyond the capitol. Alongside government and elections it covers your state's economy, public safety, schools, health, environment and severe weather, with up to five stories a day instead of four. It also picks up the day's breaking stories, leaves game coverage to your sports section, and no longer reaches for weeks-old articles to fill the list.
Pausing and resuming read-aloud on a phone no longer leaves it stuck in silence, and resume picks up mid-sentence instead of repeating the passage. Listen now also shows up as media playback, so it plays over car and Bluetooth audio with play, pause and skip from the lock screen or steering wheel.
A Listen button at the top of the briefing reads it aloud with your browser's built-in voices, one section at a time. Skip back and forward, choose a voice and speed, and anything you have marked as read is skipped.
The topic check now only fixes spelling and capitalization. It no longer renames a topic, so C++ stays C++ instead of becoming C Programming Language, and the search uses your exact wording.
Adding or removing a custom topic on the dashboard now saves right away. Before, a topic you had just added disappeared if you generated a briefing or reloaded without clicking Save Topics.
Pro custom topics now search for your exact phrase and rank articles that actually name it ahead of merely fresh ones, so a board games topic no longer fills up with baseball schedules and video game news. Topics with punctuation such as C++ or Baltimore O's are searched as you typed them.
Stories from sports you did not choose, such as cricket or rugby, could slip into the sports section. The search now asks for your leagues by name and the editor is told to drop anything outside them. Offseason leagues get transactions and coaching news rather than old scores.
Pro favorite-team limits are now 4 teams per league across 4 leagues, up from 2 across 3, and 5 per league across 5 leagues with the Expanded sports section on. College teams now show their full name, so Minnesota reads as Minnesota Golden Gophers in the picker, on story badges, and on the scoreboard.
Pro state news was ranking stories purely by how recent they were, which let another state's governor race or legislature crowd out your own. Stories that name a different state are now dropped before summarizing, and stories about your state come first even when they are a day older.
The Markets card now favors outlets like CNBC, Bloomberg, Reuters, the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, Barron's, IBD and Yahoo Finance, and leaves out aggregators, content farms and foreign-exchange wrap-ups whenever those established outlets have enough coverage for the day.
For your first week, the accuracy reviewer's notes under each lesson start open so you can see what "reviewed" means before deciding to fold them away. The setting on your dashboard still wins.
Every story in your briefing now has a "Report an error" link next to its sources. Reports come straight to us, and a story several readers flag the same day is pulled from the rest of that day's briefings.
What we got wrong in a briefing or lesson, and what we did about it, is now logged at /corrections/. Linked from the footer, the landing page, and How it works.
If the domain in your email address has no mail service, sign-up now says so right away instead of sending a verification link that could never arrive.
The Markets card drew a doubled rule under its title and no line between stories. It now uses the same single divider between stories as every other section.
A day with a rainy morning and a warm, dry afternoon used to show up as one line like "93° · 100% rain", pairing the afternoon high with the morning downpour. Each day's high and condition now come from daytime hours, and the rain line says AM, PM, all day or overnight.
The small line under each story that counted outlets and search engines also showed how old the story was, but that age was measured when the briefing was built, not when you opened it. The line is gone until it can say something that stays true.
Closing the bar at the top of your briefing or dashboard did nothing. It now hides the bar and remembers the dismissal on your account.
The checkmark that marks a briefing section as read and the control that brings it back are now one button in one place: at the right end of the section's title, in both states. Marking a section read fills the check green; tapping it again reopens the section. The fold animates, and the button has a larger tap target on phones.
Tapping "Add to home screen" in the mobile Settings panel opened the install steps behind the panel, so nothing seemed to happen. The steps now show on top.
The accuracy check on generated lessons now settles its reasoning before deciding what to flag, so the note shown with a lesson states conclusions instead of working. Illustrative examples and letter counts are no longer treated as factual claims.
Every update to DailyRite is now listed on the changelog page. When something ships since your last visit, a one-line bar at the top of your briefing and dashboard points you to it.
Under the high and low, the weather card now shows the expected morning, afternoon, and evening temperatures, each with its conditions and the chance of rain or snow. A single "right now" reading would only be true at the moment the briefing was built, and most people open it hours later. The markets section also honors your per-section story count.
Connecting Google Calendar now adds today's agenda to your current briefing right away instead of waiting for tomorrow's generation.
Stories DailyRite has already shown you in the last 45 days are filtered out, and each story's real publish date is checked so a re-indexed month-old article can't slip in as today's news.
