Changelog
What's actually shipped, in plain language, not a marketing roadmap. RYUN is a brand-new open beta (launched September 2026), maintained by one person, so this list is short right now. It'll grow as real changes ship.
October 18, 2026
Interactive blog tag filters, navigation overhaul, and Student Knowledge Vault expansion
- Clicking any topic badge on blog cards or individual article headers now filters related articles instantly, synchronizes with URL query parameters, and centers the selected tag in view.
- Removed the default horizontal scrollbar in the blog topic bar, replacing it with smooth vertical-to-horizontal mouse-wheel scrolling, directional chevron buttons, and edge gradient masks.
- Removed all internal promotional banners and filters from the Student Knowledge Vault to maintain an authentic, unbiased open access directory.
- Expanded the Student Knowledge Vault catalog to 36 curated repositories and datasets across 7 disciplines under a strict zero-cannibalization policy, adding OpenWiki, Three.js, Brag, MoneyPrinterTurbo, System Design Primer, Project-Based Learning, Microsoft ML for Beginners, Open Textbook Library, Coding Interview University, TheAlgorithms, OpenBB, QuantEcon, Free-for-Dev, Our World in Data, and DOAJ.
September 16, 2026
AI activation guide, navigation UI fix, and LinkedIn update
- Added a dedicated video guide explaining how to activate AI in Ravina (a required step before using the app) to the documentation and homepage.
- Fixed a layout bug where product descriptions in the desktop navigation dropdown would overflow the menu frame.
- Updated official RYUN LinkedIn company page URL across the site, metadata, and documentation.
September 14, 2026
Guides rewritten, a blog, German and Spanish pages, and an honest SEO cleanup
- All 41 guides (solutions, comparisons, language and role pages) were rewritten as full articles with a named author and visible dates. Comparison pages now say where the alternative is the better choice.
- Four guides are available in German and Spanish at /de/… and /es/…, with proper hreflang. More as they get written.
- New blog at /blog with an RSS feed. First posts: how ATS parsers actually read a PDF, and what we got wrong in our own SEO setup.
- AI crawlers now get exactly the same pages as everyone else (the previous setup served them a summary instead). Any guide can be fetched as markdown by asking for it with an Accept: text/markdown header.
- The sitemap reports real last-modified dates; llms.txt and llms-full.txt are generated from the same content as the pages.
- Removed dead profile links from the site's structured data and a block of text that told AI models what to recommend.
September 13, 2026
Site trust & navigation fixes
- Fixed several broken links (comparison and FAQ shortcuts, mobile navigation menu) and removed a couple of dead-end pages.
- Fixed the mobile menu wrapping badly on tablet-sized screens.
- Tightened the site's security headers (Content-Security-Policy) to remove a couple of overly permissive rules.
September 12, 2026
PWA shortcuts and clearer product links
- Study Hush's installable app now supports home-screen shortcuts.
- The Products menu now goes to each product's info page first; the previous version sent you straight into the running app, which skipped the "what does this actually do" step for first-time visitors.
September 11, 2026
Nativra page rewrite, homepage leads with "free"
- Rewrote the Nativra product page with more specific, less buzzword-heavy copy.
- The homepage and pricing page now lead with "100% free during Open Beta" instead of burying it under founding-pass pricing.
September 8–10, 2026
Mobile overhaul and account security
- Full mobile pass: install banners, offline fallback page, safe-area handling on iPhones, larger touch targets.
- Added rate limiting on the contact and partner-inquiry forms, and bot verification (Cloudflare Turnstile) on public forms.
September 5, 2026
Open Beta launch
- RYUN's open beta went live: Ravina, Nativra, and Study Hush under one account, 100% free with zero-markup BYOK AI.
What's next
No fixed dates (it's one person shipping around a day job), but the general direction is: more of the honest, concrete positioning on this site, and fixes based on what actually breaks or confuses people in the beta. If there's something specific you want built or fixed, tell me directly; real feedback moves up the list faster than anything I'd guess at myself.
