FitShield Version: 0.52
Version 0.52 is a great refinement on top of 0.51
User facing features:
- Most blocked sites, categories & countries — Your Stats now shows a private, on-device breakdown that updates live. Only aggregate counts of curated brands are stored (no URLs, pages, timestamps, or history). Countries count the brand's primary market, and names are localized.
- Export / Import "Data & Settings" — the backup buttons were renamed to reflect that one file already carries settings, stats, dashboard layout, favorites, recipe selections, currency/meal preferences, custom blocklists, and whitelist. Now stamped with versioned migration metadata for reliable restores; resets also clear the new stats.
- Fully offline — removed the only network request (the Settings "Buy me a coffee" button loaded a third-party image; it's now rendered locally). FitShield makes zero network requests.
- Consistent category names — the country/category picker and the stats list now share one localized, cleanly title-cased label (fast_casual → "Fast Casual").
Data quality:
- Fast-food country coverage 14 → 56 countries across 27 major global brands (McDonald's 5→50, KFC 4→40, Burger King, Starbucks, Subway, Domino's, Pizza Hut, etc.).
- Aliases added (bk.com, nandos.com, wingstop.co.uk) and specialty metadata enriched.
- All entries validated clean (0 duplicates, 0 malformed codes, 0 alias issues); schema docs tightened; datasets bumped to v1.1.
Localization
- New stats labels + the renamed buttons translated across all 83 locales.
- Food-category display names localized in 28 languages, with a clean English fallback elsewhere.
dev stuff:
Repository / tooling (developer-facing, shipped this release)
- changelog/ folder as the canonical release history + ROADMAP.md + index.
- tools/ validator suite (datasets, aliases, countries, categories, locales, docs, assets) with a validation-gated build that aborts on bad data, plus CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Build improvements: packages output to dist/ with engine-explicit names (-chrome / -firefox), and the Chrome manifest now strips Firefox-only keys for a warning-free load.
- Firefox mobile tooling exists but full support is yet to be fully implemented/tested.
Next steps:
0.51 (past): massive quality of life increases.
0.52: above
0.53/1.0: i think that FitShield is finally near 1.0 release its mainly only site updating and stability work on the extension
Thank you for Choosing FitShield!
