🧭 Profile trip previews now open directly from the map snapshot and trip title, with clearer hover feedback on clickable headlines.

🎯 Buttons and dropdown actions now consistently show a pointer cursor and a larger accent-colored focus treatment across the app shell.

📱 The mobile menu now closes reliably again, keeps admin/logout/footer actions anchored to the bottom, temporarily removes stamps and public-profile shortcuts from the drawer, and restores the translated Create Trip quick action on profile.

🛫 The Features page now leads with a nearby-departure bento card that starts on DXB, warms the closest passenger airport nearby just before you reach it, and then flips on screen.

✨ The airport teaser now uses a cleaner two-board route animation with stronger consumer-facing copy, so the nearby departure feels more personal without feeling invasive.

🎞️ The destination board now changes at a calmer pace and the extra location-status line is gone, so the teaser feels cleaner and less busy at a glance.

↔️ The airport teaser now spans the full row with a more horizontal route layout, so the departure and destination boards feel like one clean travel moment instead of a stacked card.

🌍 The hero globe now uses a tighter footprint with less dead space, while the split-flap airport card scales down more gracefully on small screens.

🗺️ Trip maps, previews, and route rendering are more reliable after a broader behind-the-scenes map runtime refactor.

✈️ City labels, route overlays, and flight-path rendering now behave more consistently across the trip planning experience.

🌍 The features page now opens with a custom interactive globe hero, anchored trip callouts, and a more polished planning-first story around TravelFlow.

🧭 The globe hero now starts over Europe, keeps its travel callouts orbiting with the sphere, and cleans up the hero layout so the floating panels feel more intentional.

📍 The globe now uses the session runtime location to highlight your starting point, draw routes out from it, and keep the travel chips smaller, shorter, and easier to read across all supported languages.

🧩 A new animated bento grid now shows how AI itineraries, route editing, crew sharing, and inspiration work together instead of listing features in isolation.

🧭 Trip view now rebalances the planner more reliably again, so the calendar, map, and details panel share space more predictably and horizontal calendars auto-fit when layout or detail-panel changes squeeze them.

🚌 Changing a transport type no longer snaps back when a stale route calculation finishes a moment later.

🗂️ Opening My Trips from the account menu now closes the dropdown first, so the side panel can take focus without overlapping profile actions.

🌍 Country search now recognizes localized names, familiar shortcuts, and common official or historical alternatives like UK, England, USA, UAE, Czechia, People’s Republic of China, DR Kongo, Swaziland, and Ceylon in the planner and profile country picker, so it is easier to find the right result without guessing the official label first.

🧭 Shared trips now reopen in the latest planner view you chose, including calendar versus timeline mode, horizontal versus vertical layout, and your exact manual zoom level.

🔗 Existing share links now refresh their saved planner view when you reshare, so you do not need a brand-new link just to preserve how the trip opens.

🛫 The homepage hero now loads its decorative airplane artwork in production-friendly responsive formats, cutting the first desktop payload without changing the layout.

🗺️ Example trip previews on the homepage now use optimized production image delivery instead of full-size source images, so the examples section is much lighter when it appears.

⚡ Public marketing pages now stay warmer at the edge cache, so repeat visits can load faster without making the planner experience stale.

🪪 Profile quick actions now show the localized Create Trip label instead of a raw translation key.

📱 Mobile trip details keep the second-tap opening logic, but the drawer now uses the familiar backdrop, swipe behavior, and sheet animation again.

🏷️ Timeline activity hints now stack lightly and expand together into readable colored pills with text, so they stay useful without pulling too much attention.

🗺️ The default mobile map now takes a bit less vertical space, leaving more room for the timeline below.

📱 Mobile trip details no longer steal focus. Tapping a city or activity now selects it first, tapping again opens the full-height drawer, and closing the drawer clears that selection cleanly.

🗺️ On phones, the map now sits above the calendar and timeline so selecting extra trip details feels more deliberate.

🛏️ Timeline list stops now surface accommodation and subtle activity-type hints so each stop is easier to scan at a glance.

📍 Destination suggestions on trip creation now stay aligned on mobile and no longer jump when Safari focuses the destination field.

🌸 Empty destination suggestions now recommend seasonally relevant countries and standout islands based on your dates or the next few months.

📝 Special notes now sit directly below dates and explain the kinds of cities, activities, food, pace, mobility, and comfort preferences you can mention.

📱 Mobile trip sharing feels steadier. The share dialog now opens centered instead of dropping into a bottom sheet on small screens.

🪟 Mobile trip details stay out of the way until you ask for them. Selecting a city no longer auto-opens the drawer, the bottom peek is easier to grab, and scrolling the timeline stays more natural while details remain collapsed.

🙋 Profile pages feel lighter on phones. Mobile now focuses on the greeting and trip list first, keeps a simple Edit profile action close at hand, and lets trip cards span the full column before stepping up to two and three columns on larger screens.

📍 City detail basics are easier to scan. The approval toggle now sits below the location instead of competing with the title area.

🧭 Small-screen trip headers make better use of the space they already have. The hidden hover-only info pill no longer reserves room on mobile, so the trip title can breathe more naturally beside the TravelFlow mark.

📍 Floating maps feel safer to move. The preview now stays above planner controls in floating mode, so the move handle cannot get trapped underneath other UI.

🪟 Mobile details drawers give a clearer cue without taking over. The bottom peek is taller, background scrolling stays available in list view, and opening the drawer is now more intentional.

📝 Horizontal activity cards are much easier to read. Activities now claim the full day they touch in the horizontal planner, rotated labels use the full available height instead of clipping inside hidden spacing, and icons stay pinned to the top for cleaner scanning at any zoom level.

🧭 Trip navigation feels lighter and more focused. The title sits closer to the TravelFlow mark, opens trip details on click, and profile actions now center around Create Trip and My Trips instead of a crowded shortcut list.

📱 Mobile trip pages stay calmer while you explore. My Trips now layers above the account menu and navigation when it slides in, the profile avatar keeps its circular shape, toast popups stay out of the way, and the details drawer now peeks from the bottom instead of taking over immediately.

✅ Notes and checklists are easier to work with. Checklist rows stay aligned, task toggles now hit the correct line in timeline and details views, and Heads Up guidance shows up as simple banner-style callouts.

⌨️ Moving through a trip takes fewer clicks. Active city cards support keyboard travel with arrow keys or Tab, and Enter or Space can open or close the matching details panel.

🤝 Sharing now fails more gracefully after stale app updates. The trip share flow recognizes MIME-type chunk mismatches as recoverable, so a stale cached page is much less likely to strand the share dialog behind a broken lazy import.

💬 Greetings and profile names read more naturally on smaller screens. Greeting text now wraps by whole words instead of single letters, the pronunciation line uses accent styling with prettier wrapping, and the owner profile now prefers the saved first and last name over stale display-name leftovers.

🛟 Trip pages load reliably again after the latest polish pass. A mobile viewport state regression that could stop the planner from rendering has been resolved.

🗂️ Trip details tabs now sit cleanly on the divider again. The underline anchors directly to the grey rule without the extra offset or boxed active state.

🗓️ Low-zoom calendars use space much better. Vertical views now center month labels across the visible span, compact day rails stay readable, and small activity cards in the planner are easier to scan at a glance.

🎛️ Planner controls feel tidier and less distracting. Zoom controls stay compact, desktop keeps the zoom readout where it helps, and map layout toggles are grouped like proper orientation switches again.

✍️ Trip details editing feels like the rest of TravelFlow again. Tabs sit cleanly on the divider, the trip title uses the shared input style, the action copy now reads clearly as Edit Title and Save Title, favorites stay right beside the name field, and Escape cleanly cancels draft title edits.

🗺️ Opening a newly created trip after finishing another one now starts from a clean planner map, so old pins and route lines no longer linger from the previous trip.

🚀 Async trip generation now hands off the first background kickoff to the server as soon as a trip is queued, so trips can keep progressing even if you leave the page right after starting them.

👀 Returning to a trip later now has a better chance of loading the finished itinerary immediately because the first worker start no longer depends on the open tab staying alive.

🛟 Queued trip generation now watches for stalled background work and auto-rekicks the worker when jobs have been sitting too long, so trips are less likely to stay stuck in limbo.

🧾 Trip retries no longer mislabel a finished plan as failed when background generation completes just before the planner refreshes.

💳 Added a dedicated checkout flow for paid-plan upgrades with inline sign-in, traveler details, and a cleaner step-by-step payment handoff.
