  • 트래픽이 많은 중국어 가이드 8편을 빠른 답변 캡슐과 함께 원어민 문체로 다시 작성하고, 새로운 서비스 비교 페이지를 추가했습니다.
  • 정직한 AI 초안 상태 알림: 사이트가 이제 정상, 예비 모델, 전면 중단 상태를 구분해 보여주며, 전면 중단 중에는 나중에 실패하게 두는 대신 무료 코드 발급을 중지합니다.
  • 더 간결한 일일 한도 배너, 초안 마법사의 자동으로 늘어나는 답변 입력란, 더 빨라진 홈페이지 첫 렌더링.
  • 가이드가 이제 빠른 답변 요약으로 시작하고 실제 게시·업데이트 날짜를 표시합니다.
  • 앱 설치 배너가 실제 사용 후에만 표시되고, 작성 중인 초안이 페이지 새로고침 후에도 36시간 유지되며, 비교 페이지가 11개 언어로 모두 번역되었습니다.
  • Chinese and Spanish community guides: natively written landing pages for disputing NYC tickets, plus this public changelog.
  • Email delivery for dispute letters: get the finished letter in your inbox instead of waiting on the page, and drafts now survive a page refresh.
  • Self-service submission guide added to the letter result page.
  • Hearing-outcome statistics refreshed from NYC Open Data (August 4, 2026) and a weekly data refresh process put in place.
  • New guides: 2026 street-cleaning rules, red-light camera expansion, ticket scam texts, and the city's FY25 annual report decoded.
  • Site-wide visual refresh with a cleaner palette, typography, and mobile navigation.
  • User-reported results wall: real outcomes shared by users with explicit display consent, plus a shareable success card.
  • Install as an app: the site now works as a PWA with offline support.
