<description>What actually changed in VidiVeni, and when — for travellers carrying a guide and the partners who hand them out.</description>

your place, and no guide that outlives a booking. Both exist now.

**One guide for every guest, with no end date.** Set up your place under
*Organization → Your place* — its address, a few sentences in your own words, and the
places you would send a guest to — and make its area guide. That guide has no dates
and never expires, so the QR code you print for the room keeps working. It has two
links: the ordinary one you can share anywhere, and an unlisted one for the QR in the
room, which also shows your wifi, the door or key-box code and your check-in times.
Guides for a single booking are still there when you want one with a guest's name
on it.

**A public page about your place,** at `vidiveni.app/gids/` and the name you chose:
your own words, the places you picked with a line about each, and how far they are
from your door when your address pins to your street, plus a button that opens the
guide. No photos and no advertising, and nothing on it that only your guests should
see.

**Being found in search is something you ask for.** A page can be opened by anyone
with the link, but search engines are told to leave it alone until you tick *Let
search engines find this page* **and** we have read it — and it needs enough of your
own words to be worth finding. Even then it will not compete with your own website:
its title leads with the area, not your name, and it never describes your business
to search engines as a hotel or a B&B. That is your site's job.

**Every page says where to report a problem.** Anyone can report illegal content on a
page to info@vidiveni.app; we read every notice, and if we ever change your page
because of one, we tell you what we changed and why.

**The pages for B&Bs, hotels and guides now show a live example** of the guide that
kind of host hands out. The businesses in them are invented, and their own first
sentence says so.

**Still not built:** your own list of places the catalogue does not have, your own
web address, a connection to your booking system, and a checkout.]]></description></item>
<item><title>The site now speaks the same six languages a guide does</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-22-the-site-speaks-six-languages</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>improved</category><category>partners</category><description><![CDATA[A guide has always been written in one of six languages — Dutch, English, French,
Flemish, German or Spanish — chosen when you make it. The site selling that guide
was in two. If you run a B&B in Wallonia, a hotel in Cologne or tours in Seville,
the page explaining the product was not in your language, and the first thing you
had to do was translate the pitch yourself.

**All six now, on every page that describes the product.** Dutch stays at the root
and the rest live under their own prefix, with addresses in their own language:
`/en/pricing/`, `/fr/tarifs/`, `/de/preise/`, `/es/precios/`, `/vl/prijzen/`. The
globe in the top bar opens a list of all six and takes you to the page you are
reading, in the language you picked — not to the front page, which is what most
language switches do and what makes them not worth using.

**Flemish is published as Belgian Dutch.** It is its own guide language and its own
version of this site, written in a Flemish register rather than copied from the
Dutch. To a browser or a search engine the page declares itself `nl-BE`, which is
what Belgian Dutch is actually called; `/vl/` is only the address.

Every page names its five translations, so a search engine can offer a reader the
right one instead of guessing, and each language has its own share card when a link
is posted.

**What did not change.** The legal pages, this changelog and the roadmap are still
English only — a policy is a binding text and translating one is a job for a lawyer,
not for us, so it waits. The screens you make guides in are still English too. And
the guide your guest receives was never affected by any of this: it has been in
their language from the start.]]></description></item>
<item><title>VidiVeni is now for the people who host the trip</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-17-vidiveni-for-hosts</guid><pubDate>Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>improved</category><category>partners</category><description><![CDATA[VidiVeni used to be a free app for travellers who wanted to build their own city
guide. It is now a product for the people who receive those travellers: B&B owners,
hotel teams and freelance local guides. The site you are reading changed with it.

The reason is the part hosts kept telling us was hard. Every digital guest guide
gives you a house manual to fill in and then a section called “the area” that stays
blank, because filling it properly means describing forty places in four languages
and keeping them right. That part already existed here, grounded and checked. So we
turned the product around: you put your name on an area guide that is already
written, add what only you know, and send it with the booking.

**What a host gets today**, and nothing here is a plan: a guide per booking carrying
your logo, your two colours and the support address your guests write to, frozen as
you handed it over; a share link and a QR code you can print for the room; six guide
languages, one per guide, so a German guest reads German throughout; installation
from the browser with no app store and no account, and full offline use afterwards;
logins for colleagues with a role each, and one view over every guide your team has
sent out; your own inbox for what your guests report about your guides; the “Made
with VidiVeni” line switched off on request; and guide quotas set per business.

**What is not built**, said as plainly: there is no public page for your property,
no evergreen guide that outlives a booking, no list of your own places, no custom
web address, no connection to your booking system, and the screens you make guides
in are still English. Those are on the roadmap, and none of them is in the price.

**The free traveller tier and the waitlist are gone.** Nobody was on the waitlist
and nobody held a free consumer account, so no account changed and nothing was
deleted. Accounts are now created by invitation, while we set every host up by hand
during the pilot; the way in is a demo request.

**The site is Dutch first.** Dutch lives at the root, English under `/en/`, and each
page points at its twin. The old English addresses — `/pricing`, `/about`,
`/for-business` — redirect to their new homes; existing links keep working. Legal
pages, this changelog and the roadmap are English only for now.

Prices are not published yet, and that is deliberate: the first hosts run the pilot
for free in return for their honest opinion, and we would rather agree what this is
worth with them than post a number and defend it.]]></description></item>
<item><title>A shared guide link says where, not who</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-12-a-link-says-where-not-who</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>fixed</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[Paste a guide link into a chat and the preview that appears was built from the guide's
title. Because we suggest a title containing the travellers' names, that preview often
said who was going, to anyone the link was ever forwarded to. It is now the destination
and nothing else — "Amsterdam Trip Guide", with a line about the city, in the language
the guide is written in rather than always English. Cards drawn the old way are deleted,
and every link gets a fresh one.

Previews already sitting in someone's chat history cannot be recalled. If a name is in a
guide you were given and you want it out, the privacy notice inside the guide says how
to ask; we can take it out of the guide and its preview whether the link still works or
not.]]></description></item>
<item><title>Accessibility failures fixed inside the guide</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-12-accessibility-inside-the-guide</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>fixed</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[Our automated accessibility check covered this website and the dashboard, and stopped
at the guide itself. It now opens a guide on a phone in both themes — the sheets, the
map, the picker that swaps a place, and both report forms — and what it found there is
fixed.

Text is no longer faded to suggest it matters less; it is a lighter or darker ink
instead, so it stays readable. Every control you tap is at least 24 pixels, there is a
skip link, and the buttons on the photo carousel, the map and the legal notice now speak
the language your guide is written in rather than English. Nothing needs a swipe or a
drag except panning the map.

This is not a claim that the guide is accessible. The pass by hand — keyboard and screen
reader, by someone who did not build it — has not happened yet.]]></description></item>
<item><title>Forms on this website say what went wrong</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-12-forms-say-what-went-wrong</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>fixed</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[Send a message from this website while your connection is down and it used to fail
exactly as a rejected email address does. Every form now says which of the two happened
and what to do about it. A message that goes through moves you to the confirmation, and
an error repeated twice is announced twice — a screen reader used to fall silent on the
second try.

A button you cannot press looks like one now, grey with a readable label, instead of a
faded green one that read as broken. You can reveal a password as you type it, and a
mismatch is flagged while both fields are still in front of you. Escape closes the menu
on a phone. The security check loads when you start filling something in, rather than
for everyone who visits.]]></description></item>
<item><title>Our terms and privacy notice describe what we actually do</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-12-terms-and-privacy-describe-the-product</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>fixed</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[Our terms described billing — recurring plans, non-refundable fees, thirty days' notice
of a price change. None of it exists; there is no checkout on this site. That section is
called Price now and says what is true: free for travellers, a small paid pilot for
travel businesses agreed in writing, and no card details asked for anywhere. Guide links
carry their real lifetimes, and closing your own account is described, because you can.

The privacy notice lost a payment processor we do not use, a report to a guide's creator
that nobody receives, and a deletion window nothing enforced. It gained the notice a
traveller is owed when their name sits in a guide somebody else made — in all six guide
languages — naming what is kept, who it reaches, and how to have it removed.]]></description></item>
<item><title>What became of what you reported</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-12-what-became-of-your-report</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>improved</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[A report used to tell you only that it had been sent. Under "Your reports" in the guide,
each one now says where it stands — received, being checked, fixed, or closed without
change — in the language your guide is written in, alongside any reply. The last status
stays readable with no signal; fetching a newer one needs a connection, and a report
sent from a guide that had not updated since the late-August release is not in the list,
because nothing was kept to find it by.

A problem reported from the dashboard comes back the same way now, on your profile,
instead of disappearing into our inbox.

Partway through a trip the guide asks once how the app itself is working. Once, never on
your last day, and declining it ends the matter.]]></description></item>
<item><title>This website reads at one set of sizes</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-12-one-set-of-sizes</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>improved</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[Text here was set at eighty-one different sizes, each picked one page at a time. It now
comes from one short list, chosen by what a thing is — a card title, a lead paragraph, a
label. The privacy policy is the clearest place to see it: its body had quietly been
rendering two steps smaller than the rest of the site, and now matches it.

Motion is one vocabulary too. Every control answers at one speed and every panel at
another, the bouncy overshoot is gone, and asking your system for less motion is now
honoured everywhere — including the home page's photographs, which sit still in a single
row of eight. On an iPad held upright the navigation becomes a menu instead of crushing
the links along the top.]]></description></item>
<item><title>Photos stop going missing, and say when they are on their way</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-11-photos-stop-going-missing</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>fixed</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[A routine photo refresh on our server was quietly deleting its records of photos it could
not find on its own disk. Since our images moved to cloud storage that was nearly all of
them, and in some cities every one. It stopped on 10 September. The AI impressions we
show where no real photograph exists had also stopped arriving in early July; they arrive
again, and the three cities stuck waiting got theirs on 11 September.

Inside a guide, a place without a photo now says "No photo yet" in words instead of
showing an empty frame, and while photos are still being fetched the welcome card tells
you how many places are waiting. Come back to the guide later and it checks again on its
own.]]></description></item>
<item><title>This website shows the product as it really looks</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-11-website-shows-the-product</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>improved</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[The first screen of this website now shows a real guide on a phone, captured from the
product rather than drawn, in the opposite theme to the page so it stands out in either.
The three screens explaining how a guide gets made were drawings of our creation window;
they are screenshots of the real thing now, and the share link and QR code in the last
one open a real demo guide.

The sign-in form used to fill half of that first screen for every visitor. It now opens
in place of the phone when you choose Sign in, without moving the page. Photo credits on
narrow screens wrap onto a second line instead of cutting off the licence.]]></description></item>
<item><title>Building a guide shows what it is doing, and you can stop it</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-11-building-a-guide-shows-progress</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>new</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[Creating a guide used to mean watching a timer count up over rotating messages, with no
way to tell whether it would take seconds or minutes. The wait now shows the step it is
actually on, and roughly how long that kind of guide takes: about twenty seconds for a
city we already know, two to four minutes for a city new to us.

You can stop and discard it, and nothing is published. You can also close the window and
carry on; a small notice follows you around the dashboard until the guide is ready, and
takes you back to your guides when it is. The language no longer carries over from your
previous guide, because a guide's language cannot be changed once it is made.

Your guide list now says when a guide's photos are still arriving, and the editor has a
button to go and fetch them.]]></description></item>

Each one
now has a colour picker beside it, and the preview draws two small guides — one light,
one dark — in your colours, with the contrast figure the guide itself will use to decide
whether your colour can be shown.

When a colour will not read in one of the two, the screen offers the nearest shade of the
same colour that will, and one click puts it in the form for you to look at. Nothing is
saved until you press Save.]]></description></item>

dropped you on the dashboard's front screen whatever you had been doing. It now returns
you to the page you were on, and a short note tells you why you were asked to sign in.

The addresses people guess lead somewhere too. /login, /signin, /sign-in and /portal open
the sign-in form, /account opens your profile and /app the dashboard, instead of a page
that was not found.]]></description></item>
<item><title>Accessibility failures fixed across this website and the dashboard</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-05-accessibility-sweep</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>fixed</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[Our automated accessibility check used to look at one page of this website and one screen
of the dashboard. We pointed it at every page here, in light and dark, and at the
dashboard's screens as three different kinds of user, and it found 48 failures —
nineteen distinct problems between them, every one live. All of them are fixed. The check
now covers those pages and screens, and a dashboard change that fails it does not ship.

Most were text too faint to read comfortably, including the private-beta banner at the
top of every page. Others were star ratings a screen reader announced as nothing and
filter menus with no name. Two limits are worth stating plainly: an automated check
catches only some kinds of problem, and this one opened no pop-up windows and left
several screens inside a guide unchecked. None of this is a claim that everything is
accessible.]]></description></item>

an owner invited a colleague, it called them a "client". It now names the organisation
and the role you are being invited as.

Two traps on the Organization screen went with it. Setting the country to "Not set"
could fail the save and take the logo, colours and support address you had changed
alongside it down with it. And the Save button sat at the bottom of a very long page; it
now stays in view while you have unsaved changes.]]></description></item>

icon and an iPhone did not: iPhones ignore the icon list Android reads, so iPhone guests
got one of ours. Guides now hand iPhones your favicon, or your logo if there is no
favicon, and fall back to the destination's icon only when your image cannot be loaded.
An iPhone takes the icon at the moment the guide is added, so a guest who added one
before today keeps ours until they add it again.

Our 26 August entry promised your icon on a guest's home screen. It is now true on both
kinds of phone.]]></description></item>
<item><title>My trips, and limits that tell the truth</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-09-03-my-trips</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>improved</category><category>travelers</category><description><![CDATA[If you build guides for your own trips, the dashboard used to call them by four different
names. They are "My trips" throughout now, matching the menu.

The limits read in the order they apply: how many guides you can have at a time comes
first, above the weekly cap on creating new ones. Revoking a guide's link no longer
promises you can restore it, which only we can do; it tells you that you can duplicate
the guide for a new link instead. And reaching a limit no longer tells you to contact an
administrator you do not have.]]></description></item>

you hand out, and everything in between was still ours. Your colour now runs through
the guide itself — its tabs, day pills and buttons — and your organisation's name, with
your logo if you have set one, sits on the cover photograph.

A colour is only used where it can be read. We check it separately against the light
and the dark version of the guide, so a navy brand with a gold accent shows navy in
light mode and gold in dark mode, and a colour that reads in neither leaves ours in
place. The Organization screen shows you the verdict before any guide exists.

Your name appears on guides created from today. Earlier guides show only the logo, if
you had set one, because what a guide carries is fixed on the day it is made.]]></description></item>

They wait on the cover photo, and
once you are reading they come back as a small pair in the corner whenever you scroll up
— so your saved places stay one flick away without sitting on top of what you are
reading.

Scrolling was rebuilt underneath. Reload a guide and it opens where you were rather than
at the top. Bottom sheets now follow your finger when you drag them closed, and scrolling
back up through a sheet's own list no longer shuts it by accident. And scrolling no
longer makes the whole guide redraw itself many times a second.]]></description></item>

often your email address — and describe your whole team's guides as if they were yours
alone. It now names the organisation and your role in it, greets you by your first name
when it has one, and says "Your team has" when the number is your team's.

Guides a colleague made show who made them, by name and never by email address. The Team
screen speaks your organisation's language too: it filters and counts members, managers
and owners, rather than the platform's internal roles.]]></description></item>

Until today you could
only see that on a laptop: below 900 pixels wide the whole set was switched off,
so anyone arriving on a phone read the words and saw none of the pictures. They
are there now at every width — fewer and larger as the screen narrows, down to a
single print above the headline, rather than shrunken copies of the desktop set.

Each one also carries its source and photographer on the image itself, read
straight from the file our image pipeline writes the moment it fetches a photo.
Three of the credits we had previously typed out by hand had already drifted from
it. A photograph we cannot attribute from that record now shows no credit line at
all — a gap we can go and fix is better than a byline we composed.]]></description></item>

guide altogether, mid-trip and mid-gesture. A sideways swipe now stays inside the guide.

The thin line that shows how far through a section you are stays on screen while you
scroll quickly, instead of sliding away with the menu at exactly the moment it is
useful. And on tablet-sized screens the first day of a long trip can be reached again:
the day row used to centre itself past an edge no swipe could get to.]]></description></item>

which put the heart of the dashboard out of reach for anyone who navigates by keyboard.
That is fixed, along with more of what a keyboard or a screen reader ran into: interest
options that could not be reached at all, a city search a screen reader could not
follow, menu entries that were not real links or buttons, and no way to skip straight
to the content. The guide creation window now keeps keyboard focus inside it while it
is open; not every other window in the dashboard does the same yet.

One of the fixes is for everyone. Clicking just outside the guide creation window used
to throw away all three steps you had filled in. It no longer does.]]></description></item>

full, or a browser set to block site data — the change looked saved and was gone the
moment you closed the guide. The guide now tells you straight away, in its own
language, and the warning clears itself as soon as saving works again.

The screen you land on if the guide itself breaks now speaks your language and follows
your light or dark setting, instead of a bare error. And a guide whose link has expired

rather than asking you to find a connection that would not help.]]></description></item>

to be a one-way message: an answer could be written, and nothing in the guide would
ever show it to you. The guide now lists the reports you have filed from it on this
phone under "Your reports"; when one is answered, the reply appears there.

Checking for a reply needs a connection. A report filed with no signal waits on your
phone until it can be sent, and the list says so; if the guide cannot check, it says
that too, rather than implying nobody answered.]]></description></item>
<item><title>Your brand on the guides you hand out</title><link>https://vidiveni.app/changelog/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">changelog:2026-08-26-org-branding</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>new</category><category>partners</category><description><![CDATA[Set your logo, favicon, brand colour and accent colour once under Organization,
and every guide your team creates from then on carries them — through to the icon
that lands on a guest's home screen. Your support address travels with the guide
too, so a guest with a question reaches you rather than us.

Branding is stamped onto a guide when it is created, not read live. Rebrand next
season and new guides pick it up; the ones already installed on a guest's phone
stay exactly as you handed them over.]]></description></item>

a "Request pricing" form on it. It lists only what is built and working today — no
per-seat table, no trial clock, and no link into an org dashboard that does not
exist yet. What is missing is named on the page as missing.]]></description></item>

Where we have no
usable photograph of a venue, the guide shows an AI-generated impression and
labels it as one, plainly, on the image itself.

We would rather tell you a picture is an impression than let you arrive expecting
the room in it.]]></description></item>

now: the current slot by the actual time of day, whether the place is open, how
far it is on foot, and directions in one tap. The rest of the day is still there
underneath — it just stops being the first thing you have to scroll past.]]></description></item>

Museums move. A tip that was good last year stops being true.
Every venue in a guide now has a way to say so, in all six languages, and it works
with no signal — what you flag is held on your phone and sent the next time you
are online.

Reports go into the shared catalogue every guide is built from, so telling us once
fixes it for the next traveller as well as for you.]]></description></item>

then hand you a blank grey rectangle where the map should be — in exactly the
place you were most likely to need it.

The map tiles for your destination now download with the rest of the guide. Aeroplane
mode, a foreign SIM you never bought, a basement bar with no signal: the pins are
still there.]]></description></item>

Spanish since April 2026. The interface around it was not: install prompts,
offline banners, countdowns and error messages all stayed in English, so a Dutch
guide was Dutch until something went wrong.

All six are now translated throughout.]]></description></item>

opening hours where we have them, the street address, and a directions link that
opens in the maps app you already use. Rather less standing outside a closed door
working out where you are.]]></description></item>

of a generic placeholder — so three guides on one phone are three distinguishable
apps. Share the link and it unfurls with a proper preview card in the chat you
sent it to.]]></description></item>

there are kids or a dog, what kind of trip it is, what you are into, and how you
eat. That shapes the greeting, which places land in which day, and what the
preparation tab tells you to bring.

It deliberately does not rewrite the venue descriptions. Those stay the same for
everyone, so nobody gets a restaurant described differently because of what a
form said about them.]]></description></item>

Tap one for the card, or open directions
straight into your phone's maps app.

Pins are placed from the venue's own address where we have one, and from the
neighbourhood or the city centre where we do not — and the map tells you which,
rather than dropping a confident pin on a guess.]]></description></item>
