Changelog

What shipped.

Short, dated notes. Only things you can use today.

  1. Feedback is live

    Your clients point at anything on their live website and request a change, especially from their phone. Every request arrives with the page, element, screenshot, and device.

    • One script tag for any site, WordPress included
    • Comment, Change text (from → to), General request, and My requests, with Replace or Remove for photos
    • Inputs masked in screenshots; nothing runs for regular visitors
    • An inbox per client site and across all sites, with threads, statuses, and email both ways
    • Four MCP tools and /v1 endpoints with feedback:read and feedback:write scopes
    • Included on Dropl.
    See feedback
  2. Collections are live

    Turn hard-coded lists into content your client edits: menus, inventory, events, or any list you define. Set it up from the dashboard or through your AI assistant.

    • Menu, Inventory, and Events templates, or your own fields
    • Set up from a brief through MCP: plan, approve, import existing items, generate TypeScript types
    • CSV import, and CSV or JSON export
    • Editing in the client portal from a phone, with one-tap toggles and drag to reorder
    • Public reads for published items, plus read and write through the API
    • New API key scopes for collections: read, write (items), and schema (structure)
    See collections
  3. Set up with AI: the Dropl MCP server

    Connect Dropl to Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client. Your assistant can create client sites and showcases, upload photos and video, and paste the official embeds.

    • Browser sign-in, no key pasted into chat
    • Scoped, revocable API keys
    • Dry runs before uploads
    About the MCP server
  4. An AI assistant in the dashboard

    Ask in plain words and the assistant does the clicking: set up a client site, start a showcase, or find the embed for a video.

    • Nothing changes until you approve the card it shows you
    • Knows the client site you have open
    • For your team; clients don't see it
  5. The Dropl API, with OpenAPI docs

    Everything you do in the dashboard, from your own scripts and servers. One versioned /v1 API for client sites, showcases, photos, and video.

    • API keys with scopes, optionally limited to specific client sites
    • An OpenAPI 3.1 document for /v1
    • Idempotency keys so retries never create duplicates
    • Large uploads in resumable parts
    Read the API docs
  6. The Usage page

    See where each account stands before it hits a limit: storage, bandwidth, and what was uploaded and processed this period.

    • Storage for every video, including every quality
    • Bandwidth delivered to viewers, updated every 15 minutes
    • A clear notice and the next step if an account goes over its plan
    Compare plans
  7. The client portal: magic-link invites and camera-roll uploads

    Invite a client by email and they sign in with a link, no password to forget. From their phone they add photos and video straight to the showcases on their site.

    • Clients only see the client sites you invite them to
    • Add from the camera roll, or take a photo on the spot
    • Drag to reorder, and the site updates straight away
    See showcases
  8. A player that matches the site

    Set the player's look once per client site, and every video on that site follows.

    • Four player colors, the play button position, and which controls show
    • Hide the Dropl logo on paid plans
    • Custom thumbnails: pick a frame or upload your own image
    • Replace a video and keep the link, so every embed updates
    See video hosting
  9. Private, unlisted, and password-protected video

    Decide who can watch each video, and where it's allowed to play.

    • Private for your team, unlisted for anyone with the link, or locked behind a password
    • Domain-restricted embeds, so a video only plays on the client's own site
    • Changing a password signs out everyone who unlocked the old one
    See video hosting
  10. Categories, layouts, and alt text for showcases

    Sort a showcase into categories, choose how it lays out, and describe every photo for screen readers.

    • Category filter tabs, or one category embedded on its own page
    • Masonry collage or a tidy grid, cropped to fill or showing each item whole
    • Load more after the first items, so large showcases still open fast
    • Alt text on every photo, carried into the embed
    See showcases
  11. Dropl is live

    Photo and video showcases and ad-free video hosting for the client websites you build. Upload once, paste one embed, and the client's site stays fast.

    • Separate client sites in one account
    • Photos and videos together in one showcase
    • Ad-free player with adaptive streaming up to 1080p
    • One embed that works on any site
    • A 14-day free trial, no credit card
    See showcases
