DIGEST
What we've shipped, what we're shipping next, and what we'd cut. Updated as we go.
Free is now 3 deep-dives/month (down from 24), Pro is 6/month (up from 12). The Pro < Free inversion is gone; the ladder reads as a conventional 3 → 6 → ∞. Pro's $3 keeps a healthy gross margin at the new cap.
About, how-to-use, and pricing folded into the home page as anchor sections. Founder section rewritten in the voice of the why-I-built-digest essay.
Four short checkpoints — summary, contribution, evidence, critique — appear at the bottom of every read. Catches what you skimmed without grading you.
One paper a day, read from four angles (methods, results, limitations, implications), backed by 12 verbatim PDF quotes per paper. No more multi-paper feed framing on the single-paper tier.
$9/mo unlocks unlimited single-paper deep-dives, the multi-paper rollup recipe shape, daily cadence, and higher-quality model defaults.
7 PostHog events from signup → first send → first teach session → churn. One pinned dashboard. UTM-wrapped outbound links.
De-AI'd the dashboard surface. Brand palette collapsed to three colors (deep blue, cyan, tint blue) — no more legacy palette drift.
Plus all six reader profiles on the free tier. No card to try.
Fixed three pipeline edge cases: pdf-parse internal-path resolution, raw control chars in extracted JSON, and NUL bytes in v2 sidecar persistence.
RSS feeds, conference papers, and GitHub releases as alternate inputs. v2 ships arXiv-only on purpose — sources are pluggable in the pipeline shape.
