🌍 Open to everyone. The Chrome Web Store listing is public — no more invite list.
🔒 Private accounts now ask first. If you analyze someone whose account is private, the extension explains that their non-public posts would be sent to Anthropic and waits for you to confirm.
⚖️ No more overclaiming. Analyses are based on a limited recent sample, and the wording now says so — "no replies found in this sample" instead of the old, and sometimes wrong, "has never replied to anyone."
🐛 Fixed a bug where a slow analysis could render under the wrong person's name if you opened a second profile while the first was still loading.
🧹 Fixed background tabs that could occasionally be left open invisibly, and made post-scraping robust against posts containing bracket characters.
💸 Capped how much text each analysis sends, so an unusually wordy profile can't quietly cost several times a normal lookup.
🛡️ Assorted hardening: stricter validation of internal messages, and escaping of every value that reaches the card.
v0.2.3 · July 2, 2026
🔒 Security hardening: profile bios and AI output are now fully escaped before display, closing a script-injection hole. External profile links are restricted to http(s).
😀 Bios with emoji (flags, globes, and friends) now display correctly instead of as boxes, and multi-line bios keep their line breaks.
🎨 Trait chips are now free-form adjectives with color judged in context by Claude (green/gray/red), rather than from a fixed word list.
↩️ New "Replies:" line combining how often someone replies (computed from their recent activity) with how they conduct themselves ("Frequently, warmly, and supportively").
🐛 Fixed follower counts under 10K showing truncated on the hover card (e.g. "093" for 3,093).
🛡️ Remote kill switch and update nudges (introduced in the unreleased v0.2.2) ship in this build.
🧰 Settings popup refreshed with the current branding plus links to this site and the privacy policy.
v0.2.1 · July 1, 2026
🧭 New compass icon — the placeholder blue square is retired at last.
🌐 This website launched: one-pager, privacy policy, known issues, and tester guide.
📦 Store-ready packaging: dropped an unused clipboard permission and corrected the store summary to threads.com.
🚀 Submitted to the Chrome Web Store as an invite-only preview.
v0.2.0 · late June 2026
Feature-complete build for the friends-and-family preview.
AI assessment side panel: verdict, trait chips, main topics, reply conduct, and flags/positives — generated by Claude using your own API key.
Analyses now read a person's replies as well as their posts, so how they treat people counts, not just what they broadcast.
Results cache (12 hours, up to 150 profiles) so repeat lookups are instant and free; ↻ refresh link to force a fresh analysis.
Followers-vs-following ratio bar and snapshot timestamp on the panel.
Settings popup for your API key, with one-click paste.
v0.1.x · June 2026
First working prototype: hover a username on threads.com and a stats card (followers, following, ratio, threads posted) appears under the native hover card.
Post-fetching machinery: Threads only renders posts in the browser, so the extension learned to read them from briefly-opened background tabs.
Dropped support for the Atlas browser (due to broken tab APIs).
