What's new in Opeo

Send a job link the way most shops already talk to customers—WhatsApp—without giving Opeo a seat in the conversation.

• WhatsApp share: Next to SMS on every job, tap WhatsApp to open a pre-filled draft with your public link. One tap, then send from the WhatsApp app on your phone or computer.
• Your chat, not ours: Opeo does not send, store, or read WhatsApp messages. We never sit in the middle of your client conversations—the draft opens on your device and stays there.
• Same privacy as SMS: Like the SMS button, this only opens your messaging app with text you can edit before sending. No carrier hookups, no message relay, no inbox on our servers.

• Share bar on narrow phones: Preview, QR, SMS, and WhatsApp wrap cleanly in a 2×2 grid instead of crowding the sticky header.
• Timeline note flicker: Saving an internal note no longer briefly clears the text field on slow connections.
• Customer picker scroll: Long customer lists keep keyboard focus when you open the dropdown mid-scroll on the new-job form.
• Media library empty state: After deleting the last photo in a filter, the empty message appears immediately instead of a blank strip.
• Public link dark mode: Status badges on the customer share page keep readable contrast under the shop brand color.

A quiet maintenance release for shops already running jobs day to day. Nothing new to learn—just smoother phones, clearer feedback, and fewer papercuts on the floor.

• Checklist on phones: Larger tap targets on timeline sub-tasks so you can mark work done without missing the box mid-bay.
• Jobs list memory: Status and customer filters stay put when you open a job and return—less re-filtering every time you bounce back.
• Settings confirmation: Saving workspace name or hours now shows a short success message, so flaky Wi‑Fi does not leave you guessing.
• Contact form: After a failed send, focus moves to the first problem field so you can fix it without hunting.

• Public photo view: Closing a zoomed timeline photo no longer leaves a dim overlay on the customer share page.
• Copy job link: The “Copied” confirmation stays visible above sticky actions on short laptop screens.
• Step reorder: Dragging custom steps no longer shows a faint duplicate label until you drop.
• Customer phone paste: Numbers pasted with spaces or dashes save cleanly instead of failing validation.
• Before/After slider: On landscape tablets, the handle follows your finger so wrap comparisons do not jump.

Mid-summer maintenance—small fixes from the field and a bit of polish on public pages. No workflow changes.

• Customer search: Special characters in the jobs customer picker no longer blank the dropdown mid-type.
• Public thumbnails: Timeline images after a re-upload resolve on first refresh instead of occasionally showing the previous file.
• Expired job links: 404 pages on old public URLs suggest contacting the shop—not a generic “page not found.”
• Dark table headers: Jobs list and sidebar labels read more clearly on bright outdoor screens.
• Landing preview flash: Dashboard mock on the homepage picks light or dark assets on first paint—no wrong screenshot for a frame.
• ROI image deferral: Below-the-fold screenshots load after hero content so cellular first paint stays snappy.
• Error page retry: Global error screen keeps the digest ID visible after a failed retry so support can match logs.

• Share URL cleanup: Job and share links open the same page whether or not a trailing slash is included—fewer broken previews when you copy a link.
• Login return path: After signing in from a marketing page, you land back where you intended more reliably.

• Long step names: Custom step labels on the job timeline truncate cleanly on narrow screens, with a tooltip on hover.
• Checklist Sync: Tapping sub-tasks quickly on slower connections no longer leaves checkboxes out of sync with the job.

• Upload Retry Indicator: Background photo uploads that stall now show a subtle retry state instead of silently hanging—so you know when to wait vs. re-shoot.
• Preview Button Overlap: Fixed the floating job preview button overlapping timeline actions on very small phones.

• Landing video: No brief empty flash before the intro video poster loads on slow connections.
• Customer Search Clear: Clearing the customer search field no longer leaves a stale filtered list until you navigate away.

• See it in action: A short product video on the homepage walks new shops through job tracking and customer share links.
• Richer phone demo: The landing scroll demo now shows a full wrap workflow with realistic steps and photos.

• Public pages stay public: Marketing pages and customer share links no longer bounce visitors into login by mistake.
• Live demo stays current: The try-it demo job on the homepage matches the latest product flow.

• Faster media on the site: Videos, images, and screenshots load sooner on the marketing pages.
• One support inbox: Contact now goes to hi@opeo.io—one place for questions and feedback.

• Dashboard spacing: Tighter layout on jobs and customer lists so more of the week fits on one screen.
• Navigation feedback: Clearer button and nav transitions when moving between jobs, customers, and settings.

• Faster draft loads: Leaner state updates when opening a job so the timeline appears sooner on slower connections.
• Workspace checks: Stricter validation so team members only land in workspaces they belong to.

• Consistent controls: Jobs, customers, and settings now share the same button and form styles.
• Background fixes: Small stability patches from support reports — nothing that changes how you run a job.

• Custom steps & templates: Add custom steps to any job and edit freely — you are not locked to the original template.
• Timeline refresh: Cleaner job timeline styling so progress is easier to scan at a glance.

• Faster onboarding: Shorter path from sign-up to the first tracked job.
• Clearer forms: Customer details and Before/After comparisons feel the same wherever you open them.

• Small UI fixes: Assorted cleanup from support reports.

• Upload hardening: Tightened validation in the photo upload path.

• Full-screen comparisons: Expand before/after into a full-screen slider for client walkthroughs.
• Media pairs: Rebuilt pairing so before/after shots stay matched more reliably, including when the connection drops mid-upload.

• Job-site timezones: Photo timestamps follow the job site local time, not only the admin's clock.
• International phones: Removed hardcoded +1 / US flag from customer forms so non-US numbers validate cleanly.

• Jobs search in dark mode: Search bar contrast fixed in light and dark themes.
• Public link motion: Calmer animations on public pages (less aggressive pulse).

• Leaner timeline: Removed redundant progress bars for a clearer view of where each job stands.
• Toast placement: Notifications no longer cover primary actions on small screens in the field.
