re:lease notes

Every host has a page now

• NEWPublic host pages: Every host on the roster now has a public page at recapspaces.com/host/<handle> with their picture, their numbers for episodes, hours, and live reactions, and their full episode shelf, and clicking 'hosted by' on any episode or a host in the header takes you there.
• NEWQuotes sorted onto two shelves: Each host page sorts quotes into two shelves, 'In their own words' and 'Heard in their rooms', with every quote credited by name and deep-linking to that exact point in the room.
• IMPROVEDHours in the host picker: The host picker on the home page now shows hours alongside episode counts, so you can see who has the most tape, not just the most rooms.
• IMPROVEDMilestone stats cards: The milestone stats card now counts things the same way the site does, so the numbers you see match everywhere.
• FIXEDCleaner shutdowns: When a recap is stopped partway through, nothing is left running behind it and no attempt is lost.

See what's coming, and catch what you missed

• NEWA calendar for Spaces and recaps: There is now a calendar at recapspaces.com/calendar showing upcoming announced Spaces and every recap by the day it aired, and you can subscribe in Apple or Google Calendar so new rooms land in your own schedule.
• NEWTerms in plain language: There is now a terms page written in plain language, so you can read it without a legal dictionary.
• IMPROVEDRoom for the whole story: Long episodes now have room for the whole story, so the ending of a long recap does not get cut short.
• IMPROVEDClearer episode pages: Episode pages read more clearly now, with color-coded tags and tidier stats.
• IMPROVEDNames spelled the way they should be: Recaps now hold to the correct spelling of people's names and project names, even when a nickname gets said out loud.
• IMPROVEDQuote clips that start on the quote: Quote clips now start right where the quote is actually spoken instead of at the top of a segment.
• FIXEDSpoken web addresses stay plain text: When a web address is said out loud we no longer turn it into a clickable link, so nothing can quietly point you somewhere unsafe.
• FIXEDSmall site cleanups: Threads now point back to the episode page on the site, and a stray empty bullet at the end of Worth a full listen is gone.

Faces, names, and rooms that hold together

• NEWHost faces on every episode card: Every episode card now shows the host's face, including the back catalog.
• NEWStitched episodes for handoffs: When a room keeps going under a cohost's handle, it now shows up as one episode wearing both hosts' faces.
• NEWSocial previews everywhere: Every page now shows a proper preview image when you share it.
• IMPROVEDReal names, not guesses: Speaker names now resolve to their actual X names instead of phonetic guesses.
• IMPROVEDClearer timestamps on long rooms: Topic timelines now carry unambiguous timestamps so you can find your place in a long conversation.
• FIXEDClips land in the right place: Audio clips now sit under the right quotes in either recap format.

We picked up a side quest and it somehow became the main storyline. The patch notes are above. This is your doing. :)

The first re:lease notes, and a proper thank-you

• NEWSearch that jumps to the moment: Search across episodes and land on the exact spot in the conversation where something was said.
• NEWFilters on the home page: Browse by subject, host, or date to find the episodes you actually want.
• NEWPinned posts on episode pages: The tweets people shared during a Space now live right on that episode's page.
• NEWAudio highlight clips: Play the actual moment beneath its quote, with a simple waveform player.
• NEWAsk for a host: Use a quick form to tell us which host you'd love to see covered.
• IMPROVEDSubscribe by subject: Follow the topics you care about, not just the hosts.

A warm thank-you to Regenerates, Jed, and Lyss, and the whole regens community, for featuring re:cap and believing in it from the very start.
