v0.2.0 — Daily Free tier, SEO, presets, share links

The "make people come back" release. Free plan resets daily, twenty hand-tuned conversion landing pages target organic search, platform presets cover the eight most common asks in one tap, and shareable links + force-downloads remove the last bits of "save then upload again" friction.

Headline changes

Daily Free tier (A)

• 10 conversions / day, resets at UTC midnight (was 15 / month).
• File-size cap 25 MB → 100 MB so a single iPhone video fits.
• Live "Resets in Xh Ym" countdown in the sidebar meter.

20 SEO landing pages (B)

• New routes at /convert/{from-to} for the most-searched conversions: mp4-to-mp3, mov-to-mp4, mkv-to-mp4, webm-to-mp4, avi-to-mp4, heic-to-jpg, png-to-jpg, jpg-to-png, webp-to-png, webp-to-jpg, svg-to-png, gif-to-mp4, wav-to-mp3, m4a-to-mp3, pdf-to-jpg, pdf-to-png, png-to-pdf, jpg-to-pdf, compress-pdf, compress-video.
• Each page has unique intro + FAQs (FAQPage JSON-LD for Google rich results), a pre-filled prompt, and a composer entry point.
• Master index at /formats. Featured on the homepage.

Platform presets (C)

• Pill row above the composer: WhatsApp, WhatsApp Status, Instagram Reel, Instagram Post, YouTube Thumbnail, Email-safe PDF, Email attachment, Print-ready.
• Tapping one fills the composer with the right natural-language prompt. The LLM still picks the actual tool — preset prompts get the corrector + learned-lessons pipeline for free.

Shareable output links (E)

• New /d/{code} pages with 24h validity. Inline Share button on every result.
• Copy link + Share on WhatsApp from a dropdown.
• 24h expiry matches the cleanup cron — when files are deleted the share page shows "file no longer available" rather than a broken link.

Conversational follow-up (F)

• Filename in prompt now resolves to that file. Stops the auto-chain from silently using last turn's output when you clearly mention a different file in your prompt.
• Visible "↳ Following up on X" indicator when auto-chain does fire.

Trust page rewrite (I)

• Concrete commitments: where files run (Modal sandbox), when they're deleted (24h, cron-enforced), what the AI sees (prompt only, never bytes), what's stored, "commands visible before execution", no ads/training/resale.
• "How one conversion actually flows" — a 4-step walkthrough.
• Link to the public GitHub repo so every claim is verifiable.
• Trust badge in the composer: "Files auto-delete in 24h".

History improvements (H)

• Search bar in the history panel.
• Favorite (star) a chat → sorts to the top.
• Per-turn "Run again" button reopens the dashboard with the prompt pre-filled.

Mobile polish (G)

• 44px touch targets on Attach + Send.
• Haptic feedback on conversion complete (navigator.vibrate).
• Tap-friendly drop zone with "Tap to select files (or use the camera)" copy.

Downloads work everywhere

• Native <a download> is ignored cross-origin (Convex storage runs on another host), which is why downloads used to open in a new tab. New downloadFile helper fetches into a Blob and triggers a real save dialog. Applied to: chat result card, uploads panel, share page, preview modal.

Analytics (J)

• New events table + daily rollup cron.
• Admin dashboard at /admin/analytics: conversion lifecycle chart, success rate, daily-limit hits, per-event explorer.
• Shared /admin hub + sub-nav with claim-access flow.

Other notable

• New nav: footer "Convert" column + homepage "Popular conversions" grid surface the /convert/* pages to users who never see Google.
• Compact usage meter — projected bill collapses to one line with Groq+Modal expansion on click.
• prompts.adminDebug + users.grantAdminByEmail admin tooling for live triage.

Deferred to v0.2.1

• Google Drive import/export — needs Google's OAuth verification (4–6 weeks).
• Composer voice button — /api/transcribe endpoint exists; needs a MediaRecorder UI (~150 lines).

Schema changes

• userUsage gains period + periodKind (legacy month double-written for one deploy cycle).
• prompts gains chainedFromPromptId.
• chats gains favorite + searchIndex by title.
• New tables: events, eventDailyRollup, shareLinks.
