New features, improvements, and fixes. We ship fast.
Added comprehensive observability improvements: request payload tracking to key API routes for better debugging, health check filtering at the AppSignal level, and defensive configuration for OTLP protocol specification. These changes improve reliability monitoring and make it easier to diagnose issues in production.
After creating a project, you now land directly in the homepage wizard instead of the sitemap. Start building your first landing page immediately—the sitemap is always accessible from the sidebar.
Streamlined the project setup flow from 5 steps to 4, with bold headlines and interactive tone grids instead of checkboxes. Users now pick their voice on two intuitive 3×3 grids ("How you sound" and "How you explain") with live example copy, and the "About You" step now captures org size and project ownership. Removed the Writing Rules step—users edit tone later in the Knowledge Base if needed.
When creating new pages, the wizard extraction now uses your project's knowledge base (built during onboarding) to fill gaps. If a URL doesn't provide certain product details but your KB does, those details are now included in the prefilled answers. Smart extraction that learns from your project.
Fixed textareas in dialogs, modals, and forms that would grow unbounded when pasting large amounts of content, pushing the overlay beyond the viewport. Textareas now have a max-height cap and scroll internally instead.
New public gallery at `/components` so visitors can explore every section type PiratePage generates before signing up.
New free resource: run an AI usability test on any landing page in 60 seconds at [/ai-usability-test](/ai-usability-test) — no signup required. Five AI personas visit your page through four cognitive lenses and tell you what's clear, what's confusing, and what to fix. You get a graded report with prioritized fixes and per-persona breakdowns.
This is an early standalone version. The results are promising but not yet at the quality level we need for integration into the page editor. We're working on improving the output so it can power in-product usability feedback in a future update.
All 20 section types now support complete inline editing. Click any text in the editor — headlines, descriptions, badges, proof quotes, image placeholders — and edit it directly. No more switching between modes. Share pages remain read-only.
AppSignal's Logging section was completely empty in production. The issue: we were sending HTTP POST requests to a syslog log source (which expects rsyslog/syslog-ng over TCP). Created a new HTTP-JSON log source, fixed the format transformation (Pino → AppSignal), and added diagnostic logging so errors aren't silently swallowed. Logs now flow to AppSignal with proper severity, group, and searchable attributes.
AI-generated sections are now more complete out of the box. Image-bearing variants (bento grids, showcase, tabs, spotlight) will always include image placeholders — no more empty visual sections. The AI also picks smarter item counts based on your product's content instead of defaulting to the minimum, and variations can explore different counts.
New in the editor: Display Options checkboxes let you toggle eyebrows, social proof lines, and mini proof elements on or off per section — no reprompting needed.
Pasting a URL in the wizard now works for sites that previously failed — including JavaScript-rendered pages, Cloudflare-protected sites, and small or brand-new domains. A fallback scraper kicks in automatically when the primary one can't reach the page. Search results now supplement the scraped content with customer perspective instead of replacing it.
We built an automated pipeline that detects production errors, investigates them, and creates fixes — often before anyone reports a problem. Combined with new request tracing across the entire app, we now catch and resolve issues significantly faster. Less downtime, fewer quirks, smoother experience.
"AI tool" is now available as a product type when creating a project, so the AI can tailor its copy to the specifics of AI-powered products.
The stats section now adapts its grid to match the number of stats you have. Two or three stats center neatly instead of stretching across four columns. The AI also generates tighter stat labels that won't overflow.
The AI can now generate five additional section types for your landing pages:
The page-ready overlay now respects your "Don't show this again" preference and auto-dismisses when background variations finish generating. Returning to a page with existing variations shows a welcome-back message instead of the generation notice.
Fixed the page-ready popover so it only appears when background variations are actively being generated. Previously, reopening an existing page that already had variations would incorrectly show the popover again.
The AI now uses each section variant's specific field structure when generating content, so variant-specific elements (like checklists in hero sections or proof bars in stats) are always populated correctly. Copy deduplication is also improved — the AI sees all existing headlines, subheadlines, and eyebrows before writing, reducing repetition across sections.
When the AI picks the wrong angle, you can now tell it what went wrong and regenerate. Click the red "AI messed up" button, describe the issue, and choose to overwrite the current page or create a new version.
PDF export no longer opens a popup window. Pages now render in the current tab with styles and fonts preserved correctly — just hit print.
Each onboarding step now shows an explicit title and description above the form, so you always know what you're filling in and why it matters.
A full-page overlay now appears when your page finishes generating, so you know exactly when it's ready to review. While background variations generate, each section shows a "Generating alternatives" spinner badge.
Project descriptions no longer accidentally capture raw markdown headings like `## Jobs to Be Done`. Parsing now happens server-side for reliable extraction.
Page generation now uses Gemini 3.1 Pro for better reasoning and copy quality. Background variations run on a separate model to avoid rate limits, so alternatives generate faster and more reliably.
Google OAuth signup no longer fails on production. Fixed a cookie mismatch during the sign-up flow and removed the unnecessary email verification banner — Google already verifies your email.
Variations and reprompted sections now see all other sections' headlines before generating. No more near-identical headlines appearing across different sections on the same page.
New public pages showing real landing page examples and the copywriting principles behind them:
The homepage now shows animated walkthroughs of the full PiratePage experience:
Three new section types and visual variants across the board:
When you paste a URL in the wizard, the AI now reads the actual page instead of guessing from search results. Extracted answers are validated against real content — no more hallucinated product details.
If a site blocks scraping, you can paste the text manually as a fallback.
The AI sometimes invents testimonials, stats, and logos to fill out your page. Now you'll know which content is real and which needs replacing:
Teach the AI about your product with a project knowledge base:
Replaced the top navigation with a collapsible sidebar:
Organize your pages in a visual tree structure. Drag and drop to reorder pages and build a sitemap hierarchy within a project.
Set your brand's voice per project:
Fixed an issue where the AI extracted website content in stiff, corporate language. Answers now sound like a founder describing their own product — direct and human.
The AI no longer reuses text verbatim from your website. It synthesizes your content into original, conversion-focused copy that sounds like it was written for your landing page.
Small details that make the experience feel right.
New homepage copy and branding. Specific, benefit-driven headlines instead of generic fluff. Better explains what PiratePage does and who it's for.
Split the editor into dedicated actions:
The wizard is now a clean two-step flow: paste your context, then answer the questions. Less friction, same strategic output.
The AI now picks the right section types for your product:
While you edit, PiratePage generates alternative versions of each section in 4 different tones. Swap to a punchier or more conversational version in one click.
Export your page as clean Markdown in two layouts:
Take your blueprint anywhere.
The first version of PiratePage is out.
