September 10

Thursday
  • Feed Builder: follow a site that has no RSS feed.
  • Discover, rebuilt on four tabs.
  • An honest answer for LinkedIn.
  • One design for every page on muuted.com.
  • Pasting a link stopped dead-ending.
  • A feed checker on the website.
  • Top stories read as one summary.
  • Opening a summary now shows you it opened.
  • Card polish. The bottom toolbar has its own tinted strip so it stops blending into the story, the Summary label is properly centred, and the “also covered by” count moved off the picture and onto the category line.
  • Fixed: in dark mode the timestamp on every card was rendering nearly black on black, so it was invisible.

September 8

Tuesday
  • Fantasy opens on My Players.
  • “+ Follow” is gone from player news.
  • The widgets demo page had the stocks and crypto widget nested inside the fantasy card, so it read as part of whichever tab was open.

September 7

Monday
  • A public widgets demo.
  • Your first week is on us.
  • Your feed settings follow you.
  • Publications you subscribe to.
  • Tell the junk filters when they are right or wrong.
  • Story options: all stories from this publisher.
  • The paywall filter is now “Paywalls & ad-block walls.” A page that demands you switch off your ad blocker before showing the story is a wall too.
  • Chaos Mode is now Unfiltered.
  • Smart cards now say what they are about.
  • Ask searches the web when the article can't answer.
  • Summaries of forum posts.
  • Fewer wrong film cards.
  • A wrong repository on a PDF story, fixed.
  • Honest reasons on hidden betting posts.
  • Widgets rest when you do.
  • Small fixes. The settings sheet’s bottom links wrap instead of being cut off, and the last one is now Account & settings.
  • New free accounts start with 10 muted words.
  • Live widgets are now part of Pro.
  • Searching your feed is now part of Pro.

  • Readable greens.

September 4

Friday
  • Type your players, or show us a screenshot.
  • Sleeper is back in the setup form.
  • Straight talk on ESPN cookies.
  • Privacy policy and terms updated.
  • Manual rosters keep starters and bench.
  • League switcher is the phone’s own picker.
  • Discover: every subject gets its header, so Sports no longer runs straight into Gaming, and the tab row never truncates on a phone.
  • The widget demo fits a desktop.

September 3

Thursday
  • Save any link. The Saved tab has a box at the top: paste the address of any article and it lands in your Saved list with its title, a line of summary and its picture — it no longer has to come from one of your sources.

  • A quiet weekly note, only when you have been away.
  • Drag to reorder the sidebar.
  • Bring your own ratings key.

  • Movie and TV cards, without the daily cap.
  • Starter packs heal themselves.
  • Dead sources stop reaching the top of search.

  • Stock cards. A story about a listed company — earnings, shares, a takeover — now carries a strip with the share price, today’s change and the ticker, tapping through to Yahoo Finance.
  • Game cards read the whole intro.
  • Deals posts say so.
  • Tips vary. The “Did you know” card picks a different tip each time instead of always the same one.

July 15

Wednesday
  • Organize my words — one tap groups your muted words into named lists (with a full preview first, and Undo).
  • Fair source quotas on the free plan: 50 sites + 10 video channels + 10 social accounts — a full site list never blocks adding a YouTube channel.
  • Feed builds can't hang anymore — slow sources get skipped and served from their last good fetch, and the whole gather has a hard time limit.
  • Adding a source now lands with a clear success card — what got added, which tab it shows on, and Undo.

  • Survived a 2,000-user stress test — and got the infrastructure fixes to prove it.

July 10

Friday

  • Source search got dramatically smarter — quality scores, health checks, and topic tags across a 50k+ source directory.
