Week of April 27, 2026

It was a reliability-and-planning week. We fixed public sermon pages, strengthened live editing, and taught the AI tools more about your preaching history and the church calendar.

What’s new

  • Church calendar in planning tools — Your AI assistant can now pull today’s season and upcoming observances (Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, and more) to shape plans and suggestions.
  • “What have I preached?” tools — New coverage checks summarize your sermons by book, passage, or topic and show when you last preached a text. They can also check specific passages or topics before recommending them.
  • Public sermon links are back — Shared sermon pages open and display your content (and audio) reliably, with a cleaner, mobile‑friendly layout.

Improvements

  • Claude integration unblocked — Fixed an authorization quirk so Claude can use write tools (with your consent). Setup is simpler and tool responses are clearer.
  • “Last preached” is more accurate — We now derive “last preached” from your real preach dates (including linked services) and scope correctly by organization. Topic matching is now case‑insensitive.
  • Mobile editor recovers better offline — Pending local changes are preserved and synced after reconnects or app/webview reloads for a safer on‑the‑go editing experience.
  • More reliable live editing — The collaboration server now rejects bad connections safely and won’t take down other sessions.

Behind the scenes

  • Faster, more reliable deploys — Build caching and memory headroom were improved to speed up releases and reduce hiccups.
  • Terms and policies — Updated Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and well‑known endpoints.
  • Bible and UI housekeeping — Bible service promoted to production and small UI cleanups across the app.
