Changelog

What's new in Mekutte. Most recent updates first.

  1. v1.6.0

    • Feature

      Unlimited free publishing

      Free accounts can now publish any number of decks, with no page limit per deck.

    • Feature

      Draw during presentations

      Signed-in owners can draw directly on published decks and in presenter view. Drawing is on by default and can be changed in deck settings. We also expanded drawing capacity and added confirmation before clearing everything.

    • Feature

      Send drawings with audience comments

      Audience members can send a sketch with a comment. Drawings appear in live comment bubbles and the final recap, where their aspect ratio is preserved.

    • Improvement

      Move drawing controls and timers

      Drag the drawing toolbar on published decks and in the demo, or move a slide timer to a better spot. Timers also support arrow-key movement.

    • Improvement

      Better deck access and demo

      The deck menu now links to Edit and Published Page. Slide is the default transition, and the demo and home page now showcase drawing.

  2. v1.5.1

    • Improvement

      Updated operator and legal contact details

      Mekutte's operator, seller, personal information handler, legal contact address, and footer contact link have been updated to Kuuma Inc. Legal pages now point to support@kuuma-inc.com and the Kuuma contact page.

  3. v1.5.0

    • Feature

      Unpublish directly from the deck list

      Published decks can now be made private from their row menu. After confirmation, Mekutte safely removes the public URL and related comments, reactions, participants, and poll results, and immediately frees the slot on the Free plan.

  4. v1.4.0

    • Feature

      Dedicated detail pages for every major feature

      Added dedicated pages for reactions, QR participation, flips, polls, charts, timers, slide transitions, appearance, and comment recaps. Charts, flips, animations, and light/dark modes include live previews alongside their available options and Markdown syntax.

    • Improvement

      Improved SEO foundations and product discovery

      Refined the home-page heading structure, metadata, robots policy, localized sitemap, canonical and hreflang links, and structured data. Every feature card now links to its detail page, with bottom-page CTAs, related features, and alternating Mekutaro illustrations available in all 12 languages.

  5. v1.3.0

    • Feature

      Expanded multilingual support to 12 languages

      Mekutte is now available in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Hindi. The language switcher now places English first so international visitors can find it quickly.

    • Improvement

      Localized product, demo, and creation flows in depth

      Remaining English copy across the landing page charts, slide animation and dark-mode demos, demo pages, deck list, slide creation flow, audience pages, cheat sheet, FAQ, and release notes has been translated for each supported language.

    • Fix

      Improved stability for localized pages and PWA metadata

      The global 404 page, localized Web App Manifest, legal-page notices, public-deck OGP rendering, and invalid checkout request handling were tightened so localized experiences no longer fall back to fixed English text or crash on edge cases.

  6. v1.2.0

    • Feature

      Automatic OGP images for published slides

      Shared public decks now render a simple OGP image using the slide title and Mekutte logo. URLs with `?slide=` generate an image that reflects the title of that specific slide.

    • Improvement

      Preview follows your Markdown editing position

      When you click inside the Markdown editor, the preview now jumps to the matching slide automatically, making it easier to stay oriented while editing.

    • Feature

      Coach-mark onboarding in the editor

      First-time users can now learn the main editing and publishing flow through in-context coach marks. There is no separate tutorial button, so the onboarding stays out of the way.

    • Feature

      Audience members can add poll options

      When an audience member chooses Other, they can submit a free-text answer that becomes part of the poll. Poll results now use a readable grayscale treatment in both light and dark mode.

    • Improvement

      Editor UI and dark-mode readability polish

      The cheat sheet and image guide now share the same visual treatment with better spacing. The login modal, URL copy button, and poll count text are also clearer in dark mode.

  7. v1.1.0

    • Feature

      Slide transition animations are now configurable

      Pick between None, Fade, Slide, and Zoom from the publish settings dialog. The choice is saved per deck. Default is None; the demo deck ships with Slide.

    • Feature

      Draw charts directly in Markdown

      Write a ```chart bar/line/pie block inside a slide and a colorful SVG chart is rendered inline using a dedicated 6-color palette. Titles and data labels can be set inside the block.

    • Feature

      PWA support — add Mekutte to your home screen

      On Chrome, Edge, and iOS Safari you can now install Mekutte through the browser's "Add to home screen" menu and launch it like a native app.

    • Improvement

      Added an FAQ section to the home page

      Ten of the most common pre-signup questions are now expandable inline on the landing page. Structured data is also attached so search engines can show them as rich results.

    • Improvement

      Polished dark mode and image layout

      Slide body text now renders as white in dark mode on published decks and the audience page. Uploaded images reserve their final dimensions so there is no layout shift while loading.

  8. v1.0.0

    • Feature

      Mekutte launches

      Hide answers with flips, gather reactions, comments, and QR-based participation from the audience, run polls in Markdown, pin countdown timers, write speaker-only notes (`?>` syntax), use the presenter view, subscribe to Pro, and switch between ja / en and light / dark — Mekutte ships with the full essentials.
