v2.0.0

Pinster is now Itsypin — new name, same app, big update. Settings from previous Pinster installs migrate automatically.

New

• Pages keep their state between opens (per-site webviews)
• Native file uploads and alert/confirm/prompt dialogs
• Hot corner reveal for floating bubbles
• Auto-unload collapsed bubble pages after configurable inactivity
• Bubble size slider and optional bubble background (icon-only by default, flush to the screen edge)
• Per-site custom icons
• Mobile/desktop toggle in the bubble title bar
• Right-click: back/forward, open link or page in browser

Fixed

• Bubble favicons: uses the page's real favicon after first expand, letter fallback so bubbles are never blank
• Switching between two sites on the same host now loads the right page
• Sign-in popups activate the app so password managers can autofill
• Sign-in popups close automatically when returning to any site's domain (was Claude-specific)
• No more menu/hotkey rebuild storms while resizing or dragging
