This release introduces devlogs to root-dir, making it easier to write, publish, and browse public log entries across the community. It also adds SEO and analytics foundations so public profiles and logs are easier to discover and understand.
New capabilities
Devlog is now available in the terminal. After installing the devlog package via apt-get, you can create private or public logs, list your entries, view them, and manage publishing and deletion using the log command.
Public logs now have dedicated pages. You can browse a community-wide public logs at /logs, visit a profile’s log activity at /@handle/log, and read individual entries at /@handle/log/filename.
Profile navigation now supports devlogs. Profiles can surface a log tab when public logs are available, making it easier for visitors to find your writing alongside the rest of your profile content.
New whois command: You can now run whois @<handle> to look up a user and view their public profile information from the terminal. This includes details like handle and display name, public profile URL (if published), achievements, and member since date.
Discoverability and tracking
SEO coverage has expanded for public pages. Profiles and log entries now include structured data, and the site publishes a sitemap and robots rules to help search engines index public profiles and public logs while avoiding private or app-only routes.
On-demand revalidation now covers more pages. Revalidation can now target profile pages as well as log timelines and individual log entry pages, so updates can show up sooner after publishing changes.
