Change Log

A quieter page, a more thoughtful companion

Riikee was rebuilt around the act of writing: less interface, more room to think, and AI that supports the writer without taking over the page.

What changed

  • A full-page writing space with a hidden top drawer, responsive layouts, refined toolbars, and warm, neutral, and night writing themes.
  • AI support for finding directions, shaping outlines, continuing drafts, reviewing language, rewriting, expanding, shortening, adjusting tone, suggesting titles, and offering contextual advice.
  • Background writing analysis, richer document information, an AI Writing Portrait, and deeper views across Writing Stats and Archive.
  • A guest writing experience that lets anyone begin immediately, with sign-in requested only when saving to the cloud or using AI.
  • More capable writing reminders, weekend schedules, onboarding, archives, account flows, exports, and a new Help Center.

The habit becomes visible

Riikee grew beyond the editor and began showing the shape of a writing practice—progress, streaks, reminders, and the first small forms of assistance.

What changed

  • Streak badges, daily prompts, goal-completion guidance, and writing reminders made the daily practice easier to return to.
  • Writing Stats moved to server-side aggregation and became more reliable across authentication states and time zones.
  • Spanish and Japanese joined English and Chinese, while onboarding made the product easier to understand on the first visit.
  • Shareable writing cards and mobile sharing were introduced and refined.
  • The first AI inspiration assistant arrived, followed by a more resilient gateway-backed foundation.
  • Saving and temporary-writing safeguards were strengthened, including a fix for duplicate article creation.

A dependable daily practice

The early editor became a product people could trust with an everyday habit, a subscription, and writing that needed to survive page changes.

What changed

  • A global draft system added background saving, manual saving, recovery guidance, and clearer saved-state feedback.
  • Catch Up let Pro writers return to missed dates while historical word-count rules remained explicit.
  • Pro subscriptions, daily practice limits, configurable goals, and the Stripe payment flow were established.
  • Editor preferences, keyboard flow, fullscreen writing, mobile layouts, and the floating toolbar were substantially refined.
  • Writing deletion gained confirmation and safer handling, while loading and empty-day experiences became more coherent.

The editor finds its shape

Core writing tools, account recovery, exports, statistics, and the calendar were made practical enough for regular use.

What changed

  • Time-zone handling was corrected so practices were created and stored on the intended day.
  • The floating formatting toolbar and shared visual variables were stabilized across the application.
  • Password reset, personal settings, and a broader time-zone list improved account management.
  • Writing could be exported as TXT, Markdown, Word, and PDF.
  • Statistics were reorganized, and the calendar was rebuilt with smoother navigation, saving shortcuts, and clearer progress.

The first quiet page

Riikee began as a simple promise: open a page, write today, and be able to find the work again tomorrow.

What changed

  • The first editor, calendar, article list, and daily-practice creation flow were built.
  • Unsaved-writing warnings, temporary practices, loading states, and early autosave behavior protected work in progress.
  • Basic Pro capabilities, daily goals, and the first Writing Stats page appeared.
  • Slash commands, multilingual editing, export foundations, and editor controls expanded the writing surface.
  • Authentication, profiles, and the first Terms and Privacy pages completed the initial product shell.
