Release notes

Version 0.16.0 March 25, 2026

Contact forms, analytics, GitHub backups, social media syndication, and seasonal content ideas.

✨ New

• Contact form — /anglesite:contact sets up a contact page with Cloudflare Turnstile spam protection and a Worker backend that forwards messages to your email. No data stored, no third-party services beyond Cloudflare.
• Analytics in plain English — /anglesite:stats fetches your Cloudflare Web Analytics and presents traffic, top pages, referrers, and device breakdown as a plain-English summary. Includes week-over-week comparison and actionable suggestions.
• GitHub backup — /anglesite:backup commits your changes with a descriptive message and pushes to GitHub automatically. Shows backup history so you can see what changed and when.
• Social media syndication — After publishing a blog post, the AI generates platform-specific posts for Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, X, Google Business Profile, and Nextdoor. Syndication URLs are saved in your post frontmatter for IndieWeb verification.
• Seasonal content ideas — The AI surfaces 3–5 timely blog post suggestions based on your business type and the current date. Tax prep reminders in February, holiday content in November, industry awareness days year-round.
• CSS animations — Ask the AI to add hover effects, scroll reveals, or page transitions. Uses modern CSS features like scroll-driven animations and view transitions, with automatic reduced-motion support.
• Update command — /anglesite:update compares your site against the latest template, applies safe updates, and explains what changed. Version-stamped so future updates know where you left off.

Version 0.15.0 March 23, 2026

Smarter Wix imports with better content extraction.

🔧 Improved

• Better Wix content — Tags extracted from post footers. FAQ accordions expanded before extraction. Inline images preserved as Markdown. Hyperlinks in posts and pages no longer stripped.
• Smarter slug naming — Opaque Wix slugs like general-5 are renamed to meaningful names like endorsements, with automatic redirects so old links still work.
• Text fidelity — Split words across adjacent elements are rejoined. Superscript ordinals (27th, 1st) no longer break apart.

Version 0.14.0 March 23, 2026

Wix imports now capture your design — colors, fonts, and layout — not just your content.

✨ New

• Design-aware Wix import — A Playwright-based extractor captures your Wix site's computed CSS: colors, fonts, and spacing. Your new site starts with your existing brand, not generic defaults.
• Color classification — Extracted colors are automatically classified as primary, accent, background, text, and muted based on luminance and saturation. No manual color-picking required.

🔧 Improved

• Reliable Wix extraction — Wix sites that returned empty content via standard fetch now work via Playwright. Fallback methods (curl, WebFetch) handle edge cases.

Version 0.13.0 March 20, 2026

Convert an existing static site to Anglesite without starting from scratch.

✨ New

• Convert existing sites — /anglesite:convert migrates local Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy, Gatsby, Next.js, and other SSG projects to Anglesite/Astro. Content, images, and structure come over — you don't start from a blank page.

🔄 Changed

• Import is for URLs, convert is for local projects — /anglesite:import now focuses on website URLs (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix). Local SSG projects use /convert instead.

Version 0.12.0 March 20, 2026

Import works standalone — no setup required first.

✨ New

• Standalone import — /anglesite:import now works in an empty directory. Give it a URL and it scaffolds the project, imports your content, and sets everything up in one step.
• SSG detection — Opening an existing Hugo, Jekyll, or Gatsby project? Anglesite detects it and offers to convert in place.

Version 0.11.0 March 4, 2026

Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Create a site without the Claude Code plugin.

✨ New

• Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows — A new cross-platform layer handles OS differences automatically. Local HTTPS, setup scripts, cleanup, and prerequisite checks all work natively on every platform. No more "macOS only."
• Portable workflow docs — Step-by-step guides for deploying, health checks, DNS, and importing now live in docs/workflows/ inside your project.
• Deploy scans in the build script — The mandatory pre-deploy security scans (PII, tokens, third-party scripts, Keystatic routes) now run as part of npm run predeploy.

🔧 Improved

• Platform-aware setup — Port forwarding auto-configures on macOS, with clear manual instructions for Linux and Windows. Image processing uses Sharp everywhere instead of macOS-only sips.
• Skills updated for all platforms — Start, deploy, check, domain, and import skills no longer assume macOS commands. Platform-specific behavior is handled automatically.

Version 0.10.0 March 4, 2026

Fewer commands, more AI tools, and support for every major coding assistant.

✨ New

• CSS animations — Ask the AI to add hover effects, scroll reveals, page transitions, or any CSS animation. It uses modern CSS features like scroll-driven animations and view transitions, with automatic reduced-motion support for accessibility.
• Verbose or quiet mode — During setup, choose whether the AI explains each step before doing it, or just gets things done silently. Saved as a preference in your site config.
• Automatic share images — OG images and Apple touch icons are now generated from your brand colors during setup and design changes. No more bare link previews in iMessage, Slack, or social media.

🔧 Improved

• 5 commands instead of 9 — Slash commands streamlined to /start, /deploy, /check, /domain, and /import. Everything else — adding pages, changing the design, updating dependencies, adding animations — you just ask in plain English. The AI handles it.
• Check and fix are one command — /check now diagnoses and fixes problems. No more switching between separate audit and repair commands.

🗑️ Removed

• /design-interview, /animate, /new-page as slash commands — these still work, but the AI invokes them automatically when you describe what you want.
• /fix and /update commands — merged into /check and conversational maintenance respectively.

Version 0.9.14 March 4, 2026

Five more import platforms and better guidance for every migration.

✨ New

• 5 more import platforms — Webflow, GoDaddy Website Builder, Carrd, Micro.blog, and WriteFreely/Write.as now supported, bringing the total to 25+ platforms.
• Calendly integration — Documentation for adding Calendly scheduling to your site as an alternative to Cal.com.
• Import quality principles — 9 universal rules the AI follows during every import: content accuracy, local images, provenance tracking, no third-party embeds, and more.

🔧 Improved

• Shared import guidance — Common migration patterns (HTML-to-Markdown, image CDN handling, pagination, redirects) are now documented once and referenced across all 25 platform guides. Less duplication, more consistency.
• Clearer expectations — After an import, the AI now tells you that design tweaks come next — so you know the migration isn't the final step.

Version 0.9.13 March 4, 2026

Import your existing site, send newsletters, and understand why every technical choice was made.

✨ New

• Import your existing website — The new /import command migrates content from 25+ platforms including WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Ghost, Medium, Substack, Shopify, Weebly, and 10 static site generators. Blog posts, images, and pages come over with redirect mappings so you don't lose search traffic.
• Newsletter integration — Use Ghost as a headless newsletter backend or Buttondown as a lightweight alternative. Write posts in Keystatic, then push them to subscribers via email.
• Transparent decisions — 12 architectural decision records explain why Anglesite uses Astro, Cloudflare, vanilla CSS, system fonts, and every other technical choice. Each one documents the tradeoffs so you can change anything with full context.

🔧 Improved

• Plugin best practices — Skill permissions moved to per-skill frontmatter. A deploy hook now blocks publishing if the security scan fails.

Version 0.9.11 March 3, 2026

Smoother setup, fewer surprises, and the option to let the AI make all the design choices for you.

🔧 Improved

• Questions first, actions later — The AI now asks all its questions before doing anything, so you're never surprised by a permission prompt you don't understand.
• "Design it for me" option — If you don't want to make design decisions, tell the AI to pick for you. It'll choose something appropriate for your site type.
• Deploy fixes — First-time deploys now create the Cloudflare project automatically instead of failing. Domain setup authentication issues resolved.
• Cleaner caches — Stale build artifacts from previous projects are cleared automatically so you don't see someone else's site in your preview.
• Dev toolbar hidden — The Astro developer toolbar no longer appears in your preview. One less confusing thing on screen.

🗑️ Removed

• Standalone /setup command — Consolidated into /start, which now handles first-run setup automatically.

Version 0.9.1 March 3, 2026

Plugin distribution fixes, inclusive site types, and a version stamp on every page.

✨ New

• Generator meta tag — Every page now includes the Anglesite version, AI model, and Astro version. Useful for debugging and knowing exactly what built your site.
• GitHub plugin install — Added marketplace.json so the plugin can be installed directly from GitHub in Claude Code.

🔧 Improved

• All site types, not just business — Portfolios, personal sites, blogs, nonprofits, and more are now first-class citizens alongside small business sites.
• TypeScript setup scripts — Internal scripts converted from shell to TypeScript for better error handling and cross-platform support.

Version 0.9.0 March 3, 2026

First public pre-release. Anglesite ships as a Claude Code plugin with everything you need to build, design, and publish a website.

✨ New

• 9 slash commands — /start, /deploy, /design-interview, /check, /fix, /update, /new-page, /setup, and /domain give you a full webmaster toolkit.
• 56 business types — Tell the AI what kind of site you need and it tailors the structure, content prompts, and structured data to match.
• Astro 5 + Keystatic CMS — Your site is built on a modern static site generator with a visual content editor for writing blog posts.
• Local HTTPS — Preview your site securely on your own machine with a custom hostname, powered by mkcert.
• One-command deploy — Publish to Cloudflare Pages with a built-in privacy and security scan that runs before every deploy.
• DNS management — Set up email forwarding, verify your Bluesky handle, add Google site verification — all through the AI, no dashboard needed.
• Design system — Colors, typography, and layout tokens generated from a design interview, with per-industry guidance so your bakery doesn't look like a law firm.
• IndieWeb support — Microformats (h-card, h-entry, h-feed), Webmention, and RSS built in. Your site is a citizen of the open web from day one.
• Token efficiency — A built-in calculator helps the AI use your Claude subscription efficiently, so you get more done per conversation.
• Dual license — Code is ISC licensed (do what you want). Content templates are CC BY 4.0 (use freely, give credit).

🔧 Improved

• Plugin format — Anglesite installs as a Claude Code plugin instead of requiring a separate project clone.
• All DNS through the API — No more switching to the Cloudflare dashboard for DNS records. The AI handles it directly.
• Plain-English health checks — /check reports problems in language anyone can understand, not developer jargon.
• Silent git — The AI manages version control behind the scenes. You never need to think about commits or branches.

🗑️ Removed

• Customer management feature (not a core webmaster task)
• iCloud sync workarounds (no longer needed)
• Separate AI model configuration files (consolidated into one guide)
