What we have been up to

This release makes a saved personal record easier to understand and continue: review the last week, recover gaps, establish the account foundations that shape your tracker, and keep private decision markers against individual strains. It also gives backup, statistics, navigation and account actions a clearer, more consistent home. These are record-keeping tools, not medical guidance.

• Added Your week in review, including a clear warning when the record may be incomplete, a direct route to Backfill, the choice to review anyway, and a refresh after correcting earlier entries.
• Added a resumable first-week guide for choosing prescription or personal language, optionally adding starting stock, and making a real first log.
• Added private strain markers for favourite, daytime or evening context, whether you would choose it again, and whether the saved stock needs checking; archived strains keep the markers visible but read-only until restored.
• Added an archive-first permanent deletion flow that explains what archiving preserves and what deletion removes before anything is erased.
• Made Journal backup and export routes easier to find, including JSON, CSV and locally stored photo backup guidance.
• Added plain-language explanations to statistics and corrected mobile navigation targets, menu placement and history links.
• Updated public and signed-in calls to action so returning members continue into their tracker instead of being sent back through sign-up.

Strain Journal brings each strain's consumption history, calendar, notes and photographs into one private record that remains useful from first log to archive.

• Browse consumption logs in day, week and month calendar views, with private notes saved against individual dates.
• Keep multiple photographs for each strain instead of a single cover image; photos remain in this browser and are never uploaded.
• Tag photographs as flower, extract, packaging, indica, sativa, hybrid or with your own label, then filter the journal by those tags.
• Archived strains remain in the lifetime journal with their photos, notes and logged history, while staying out of active-stash totals.
• Renamed the former Strain Album and moved it to /strains/journal; the previous address redirects automatically.

Fixed a bug that blocked trial and lifetime members from Plus features, added a one-click prescription cycle reset, and previewed the photo-led experience that became Strain Journal.

• Fixed an access bug where trial users and lifetime grant holders were incorrectly blocked from managing strains, archiving, and other Plus features — the Pro check now considers subscription status and lifetime grants instead of only the raw tier column.
• Stripe subscription updates now actively repair the Pro tier when a subscription is active or trialing, preventing the tier from drifting out of sync after a transient webhook failure.
• Added a New cycle button on the prescriptions page that opens a restart flow — set leftover and added grams per strain, archive old strains, add new ones, and optionally update your monthly allowance, all in one operation.
• Previewed the Strain Journal — available on Free within the existing three-strain cap, and available on Plus with unlimited strains — with collectible cards, photos, stats and swipeable browsing. Photos are stored locally on your device and never uploaded.
• Added photo support to strain cards and the strain detail page, so you can snap a picture from anywhere and see it in your journal.

This release makes more of Grams Left useful before sign-up, explains how account and tracker data move through the service, and adds practical ways to start or maintain a tracking record.

• Added a prescription countdown that works from the number of days until your next prescription, with a clear progress view.
• Added a printable four-week diary template and a downloadable spreadsheet template for people who want to begin outside the app.
• Connected the diary, spreadsheet guidance, data-import information and sign-up pages into a clearer route from paper or spreadsheet tracking into Grams Left.
• Published a detailed Your Data page showing what the service stores, where it is processed, how long different records are retained and what you can control.
• Published a factual comparison with Tetragram so visitors can understand the difference between stock tracking and a broader cannabis journal.
• Added eight practical articles covering stock checks, diaries, prescription tracking and keeping a consistent private record.
• Added visible homepage navigation for the blog, free tools, update log and Your Data page so the new public resources are easy to find.
• Improved page titles and descriptions so public tools and guides are easier to recognise in search results and browser tabs.
• Fixed signed-out access to public tools and information pages while keeping the personal tracker behind sign-in.
• Updated dependencies, route handling and release checks; the production app passed 528 automated tests before deployment.

Following a full review of how people find and start using Grams Left, we removed the biggest points of friction between the home page and your first logged dose, and made the small text across the site readable for everyone.

• Removed the full-screen age confirmation that appeared before the home page, so new visitors see what Grams Left is first. Age confirmation still happens at sign-up.
• Made section headings across the site darker so they meet accessibility contrast guidance.
• Gave the Free and Plus plan cards properly sized buttons and a clearer recommendation, so it is easier to pick a starting point.
• Added an account deletion option in Settings, so you can erase your tracker and account yourself without emailing support.
• Added clear next-step prompts on the dashboard when nothing is tracked yet, such as adding your first strain or logging your first entry.
• Added a sign-up prompt at the end of each blog post, and added the blog and roadmap to the site footer.
• Replaced the launch offer countdown with a simple, accurate count of how many people already track with Grams Left.

We launched a new Grams Left identity, made it easier to see what is changing, and improved how we spot unexpected problems before they affect more people.

• Introduced a new Grams Left logo and visual identity across the website, app icons, social sharing and email updates.
• Added the Grams Left blog for product updates and plain-language tracking guidance.
• Improved public navigation so the home page, updates and product information are easier to find.
• Improved search-engine discovery for public pages with clearer sitemap and robots handling.
• Added error monitoring to help us find and fix unexpected issues sooner.
• Prepared the app to recognise useful milestones, such as getting started or becoming inactive, without sending messages automatically.

We completed a full security pass across the app, focusing on making everyday tracking more robust when data is incomplete, unexpected or malformed.

• Added adversarial test coverage for malformed inputs, injection attempts, boundary conditions and runtime crash guards.
• Fixed date-formatting, number-overflow and missing-data guards across the tracker.
• Kept the product focused on personal record keeping, with no dosing advice or medical recommendations.

We introduced the comparison and reminder foundations that now feed Your week in review, and tightened the Plus billing flow.

• Introduced saved-record comparisons and logging streak calculations; the current summary route now opens Your week in review.
• The new weekly review keeps basic totals free, with product, method and Journal detail available on Plus.
• Added dashboard, desktop and mobile navigation so members can open the current review from the main tracker.
• Added gentle reminder cards for things like keeping a logging streak going or catching up after a gap, capped so the app does not nag.
• Fixed Plus checkout and cancellation flows so subscribing, downgrading and returning to Free complete cleanly.
• Added a short downgrade survey, a sorry-to-see-you-go confirmation, and an immediate refresh back onto the Free plan.
• Made the launch trial one per account: if you cancel during the trial and upgrade again later, Stripe charges straight away instead of starting a second free trial.
• Kept the summary focused on saved records and stock tracking, not targets or medical advice.

We added faster ways to get your tracker current again when you have been away from the app for a few days, plus new demo walkthroughs for prescription and strain tracking.

• Added catch-up logging to the Plus Backfill route at /log, so you can estimate earlier sessions from memory and bring the saved record up to date.
• Backfill entries are clearly marked as estimates and use your active strengths and methods where possible.
• Added a Restock flow on the strains page for adding a renewed prescription without rebuilding your strain list by hand.
• Fixed Settings so changes can be saved directly from the page.
• Added demo walkthroughs for updating prescription details and logging a strain.
• The strain demo covers simple and advanced logging views, date changes, date filters, usage-type filters, and the live chart update.

We added a correction history for strain stock changes, so a reweigh now records the expected grams, the actual grams, and the difference.

• Manual stock edits and restock weigh-ins can now carry an optional correction note.
• Recent corrections appear on each strain detail page, including the grams drift.
• Settings now includes a stock corrections CSV export, alongside the full JSON export and usage CSV.
• Gram inputs now support 0.01 g steps, which is better for people using precise scales.

Grams Left moved from final testing into the first public launch push, with the product, support path and founder-led launch copy checked together.

• Added the demo page and switched it to a native video player, so people could see the tracker before creating an account.
• Added signed-in feedback from the support page, with basic anti-spam protection and a direct support fallback.
• Ran the first founder-led launch push around Grams Left as independent record-keeping software, not a clinic product or medical advice.
• Kept launch follow-up work tied to real support messages, demo checks and user replies rather than guessing from a plan.

The day before launch was focused on making the app understandable, installable and safer to put in front of the first users.

• Established the personal-mode foundations and vocabulary, so Grams Left can support prescription and personal tracking language without claiming a separate onboarding flow that was not yet available.
• Tightened the privacy, cookie, FAQ and trial-cancellation wording before live traffic.
• Checked account data controls, backup coverage and the production release path before the launch push.
• Prepared launch assets and founder email copy, then tested the send path before wider launch traffic.
