Velocity2.5

Social media aggregation tool for embedding social feeds and walls on websites.

Monthly upkeep on a widget business, with a publishing layer quietly arriving underneath.

social-feed-aggregationaccessibilityschedulingconnector-maintenancepackaging
◆Current state
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.
◆Where it's heading
Two threads run underneath the maintenance. Curator is extending past display into publishing — Post Scheduling was announced in May and the July notes already list Schedules alongside a Media Library, so that layer has landed and is being refined. Meanwhile the source roster is being defended rather than grown: Glassdoor was hidden in January once its API was deprecated, and packaging shifted toward bundling premium sources into larger bucket purchases. The connector list is the product, and upstream platforms control how long each one lasts.
◆Prediction
The next set of notes should show Schedules graduating from generic improvements into a documented feature with its own settings, alongside continued accessibility work. Whether scheduling lands behind a paid tier is not something these entries reveal.

◆Recent moves

    Schedules and Media Library refinements land with source fixes

    The July notes refine the publishing layer rather than introduce it — Schedules and Media Library improvements sit alongside YouTube source work, WordPress plugin updates, and a dozen fixes spanning Reddit, Slack, and RSS. Confirmation that scheduling is now live product surface, wrapped in the usual connector maintenance.

    Post Scheduling announced; critical security updates ship

    The month Curator signalled its move beyond display, pre-announcing Post Scheduling and shipping the UI groundwork for it. Critical security updates and an account-linking fix — external sources could attach to the wrong account — carry the rest of the release.

    Grid Styles adds fixed-column or width-based layouts

    Grid Styles gains a real layout choice between fixed column count and width-based sizing, the kind of display control that is this product's actual value. The remainder is connector repair across Facebook, LinkedIn, and X.

    Publish page gains image-quality control; Event Style post caps

    Two user-facing controls land — higher image quality on the Publish page and a post-count limit for Event displays — against another round of source-side error fixes. Incremental widening of what site owners can tune without leaving the dashboard.

    Accessibility and CORS fixes; feed dropdown becomes searchable

    A fix-only month: ARIA concerns, CORS policy errors, broken image replacement when editing posts, payment-failure error handling. The alphabetized, searchable feed dropdown is the only change most users would notice.

    Glassdoor source dropped as its API closes; bucket plans rebundled

    The clearest example of the platform dependency this product lives with: Glassdoor was hidden outright after its official API was deprecated, and YouTube's approval safeguard was reverted to auto-approve. A packaging change ships alongside, bundling a premium source set into purchases of fifteen or more buckets.
