Last updated: May 2026 · 8 releases

v0.12

Legal foundations

  • Added

    Affiliate Disclosure at /affiliate-disclosure — FTC-compliant plain-language disclosure of how we make money, what we don’t do (paid placement, sponsored rankings), and how to spot affiliate links on the site.

  • Added

    Privacy Policy at /privacy — accurate description of what we collect (almost nothing), where tool data lives (your browser’s localStorage), and what happens when you click an affiliate link.

  • Added

    Terms of Use at /terms — the rules of the road, plus explicit not-legal-advice / not-financial-advice language for the tools that touch regulated topics (visa tracker, FIRE calculator, cost-of-living).

  • Changed

    Footer Legal column now links to real routes (Affiliate Disclosure first — it’s the most load-bearing for the directory model). Removed the placeholder “Cookies” entry; we don’t set any.

v0.11

Two new tools — FIRE & Climate

  • Added

    FIRE Calculator (/tools/fire-calculator) — financial independence math (FIRE number, time-to-FI, FI date) with a Nomad arbitrage panel that re-runs against 6 low-cost-of-living scenarios.

  • Added

    Climate Finder (/tools/climate-finder) — pick a month and a temperature/humidity range, get matching cities. 20 nomad hubs, 240 monthly observations.

  • Changed

    Build surface count: 6 → 8 tools live.

v0.10

Polish & positioning

  • Added

    Landing reframed around “The #1 toolkit for digital nomads.” New trust strip, bookmark hint chip, and brand-orange #1 accent.

  • Added

    Top-of-page announcement bar inviting bookmark with ⌘D / Ctrl+D (dismissible, persists per browser).

  • Added

    Tools and Directory header items are now dropdown menus showing every item inline, with “View all” footer links.

  • Added

    Plausible analytics + Google Search Console verification wired behind NEXT_PUBLIC_* env vars (off by default; activates on next deploy when set).

  • Removed

    Sign in / Get started / waitlist anchors. Replaced with a single brand-orange Get the newsletter CTA in the header.

  • Removed

    The four hero stat cards (replaced by the trust strip and the cards in /tools + /directory immediately below).

v0.9

Build surface complete · 6 native tools live

  • Added

    Gym Pass Optimizer (/tools/gym-finder) — drop-in vs weekly vs monthly vs global subscription comparator with break-even insights.

  • Added

    Workspace Logbook (/tools/workspace-logbook) — personal log of cafés and coworking spots with Wi-Fi, outlets, noise, and rating; per-city filter.

  • Added

    Packing Checklist (/tools/packing-list) — generated list keyed on climate × trip length × activity, persists in your browser.

  • Added

    Shared useLocalStorageState hook (built on useSyncExternalStore) so all persistence-based tools survive React 19’s set-state-in-effect rule cleanly.

v0.8

  • Added

    Source-of-truth assets in nomada-brand/ with palette + typography README.
