Changelog

Initial public release

The first version of Amazify Pro available for download — the complete keyword-to-published-video pipeline, feature-complete after six internal hardening rounds. This build also fixes the last pre-release blocker: the License page route was never registered in the app shell, so the sidebar's License link opened a blank view. The route is now wired in and activation works on a fresh install.

• Core stack. Electron 33 + React 18 + TypeScript, SQLite (better-sqlite3) for projects, jobs, analytics, schedules and price history, and an encrypted credential store (Electron safeStorage + keytar) for every key and token.
• 7 AI script providers. Claude CLI (free via your Claude subscription, using the local claude binary), Claude API, OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini, Groq (Llama 3.3), OpenRouter and LongCat — plus a deterministic offline Template engine that needs no key.
• 3 TTS engines. Edge TTS with 400+ free Microsoft Neural voices in 100+ languages, ElevenLabs with voice cloning, and OpenAI TTS.
• 2 caption engines. OpenAI Whisper API and fully local whisper.cpp (5 model sizes, tiny → large-v3), word-timed and burned into the render.
• 3 thumbnail engines + editor. Free Sharp SVG templates, DALL-E 3 HD, Flux Schnell via Replicate — plus a live canvas editor with overlay baking, an A/B engine (3 variants with live YouTube thumbnail swap) and a 3-up comparison frame generator.
• FFmpeg video pipeline. Bundled FFmpeg/FFprobe, Ken Burns zoom, B-roll auto-insert from Pexels and Pixabay, D-ID talking-head avatar overlay, background music with auto-ducking, watermark with 4-corner positioning, intro/outro title cards, 720p–4K at 24/30/60 fps in 16:9 and 9:16.
• Amazon scraping. Playwright-based product-page and keyword search across 10 storefront domains with automatic affiliate tag injection, optional proxy support, and a daily price-drop watcher with desktop notifications.
• Publishing to 4 platforms. YouTube long-form + Shorts with a multi-channel switcher, TikTok via the Content Posting API, Instagram Reels and Facebook Page Reels via the Meta Graph API — auto-publish or manual review per project.
• Productivity. AI Director one-prompt automation, 5 pro templates (Countdown / Shorts Hook / Comparison / Deal Alert / Tier List), scheduled renders, bulk operations, CSV import, project duplicate, search + filter, brand presets, webhooks (6 lifecycle events), first-run wizard and a live in-app video player.
• Trends + analytics. Live 12-month Google Trends chart with related queries, YouTube competitor search, and a real YouTube Analytics dashboard.
• Licensing. 3-day full-feature free trial on first launch (1 channel, unlimited videos), hardware-bound license with one-click "Deactivate & release seat", three tiers: Starter (1 channel), Growth (5), MAX (unlimited).

Pre-release hardening: publishing & OAuth

• Release-candidate pass over the publishing stage: the YouTube OAuth reconnect flow, TikTok Content Posting API draft handling, and Meta Graph API token refresh were exercised end-to-end, and their failure messages rewritten to say exactly what to reconnect.

Pre-release hardening: installer & bundling

• NSIS Windows installer finalized with FFmpeg, FFprobe and Chromium bundled inside (~210 MB) — zero external dependencies, no PATH edits, desktop and Start Menu shortcuts created automatically.

Pre-release hardening: render pipeline QA

• Full-matrix render testing across resolutions (720p–4K), frame rates (24/30/60) and both aspect ratios; caption burn-in timing, music auto-ducking and Ken Burns motion verified against long and short scripts in multiple languages.

Pre-release hardening: scraper resilience

• Amazon scraper retry and backoff behaviour tuned across all 10 storefront domains; affiliate tag injection verified per domain; optional proxy support wired into Settings for heavy users.

Pre-release hardening: licensing & trial

• Hardware fingerprinting stabilized so routine driver and Windows updates don't invalidate a seat; the 3-day trial countdown and post-trial gating verified on clean installs.

Feature-complete internal build

• First feature-complete build of the full pipeline — scrape → script → narration → render → thumbnail → publish — used for internal testing ahead of the public launch. Everything listed under v1.0.6 above was built and iterated on in this line.
