What's new in Inkwell.

Live at /templates:

• Six categories covering the newsletters writers actually need to send.
• Copy Markdown or download .md — works in Inkwell, Substack, Beehiiv, or any editor.
• SEO-ready with per-template metadata, JSON-LD HowTo structured data, and sitemap entries.
• Conversion-friendly — every template page ends with a clean "start writing free" CTA, no popups, no funnel.

Doubles as a free top-of-funnel lead source: writers searching for "newsletter welcome email template" land on a useful page, not a pricing wall.

Visit /feature-requests to:

• Submit an idea (signed-in users, 3–120 char title, optional 4000 char description).
• Upvote the requests you want us to ship first — one vote per person, click again to remove.
• Filter by status: Open, Planned, In progress, Shipped.

Admins can move requests through the lifecycle from the database, and shipped requests get linked back to their changelog entry.

Every changelog entry now carries four optional release fields: commit SHA, commit URL, deployment URL, and released at.

• The public /changelog shows the short SHA (linked when a URL is set) and a "deployment" link next to the date.
• The admin composer at /dashboard/changelog exposes the new fields in a dedicated Deployment / release block, with a one-click Link to live deployment helper that fills in the production URL and current timestamp.
• The release date now drives the public ordering label, falling back to the published date when not set — so each entry maps cleanly to a single release.

We just turned the changelog on and back-filled the recent shipping history.

Going forward, every new feature, fix, or improvement will be logged here as it ships — in the open, in reverse chronological order.
