About Curator.io
Monthly upkeep on a widget business, with a publishing layer quietly arriving underneath.
Curator ships one dated release-notes post a month, and most of each is bug fixes across its social source connectors — Reddit, Slack, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, RSS. Accessibility remediation is the other constant through 2026: keyboard and screen-reader behavior, ARIA roles, alt text on iframes, hover states on controls. The core product remains what it was, a hosted widget that aggregates and displays social feeds on a site.
