Changelog
v1.0.2current29 Oct 2026
News Portal 1.0.2.
A look release: the product gets its own logo and icon.
Its own logo (light and dark mode, 640 × 128 px PNG) and favicon (512, 192, 180, 48, 32 and 16 px PNG and SVG) in assets/img/brand/. The live demo shows the full logo in the header; on your site the built-in icon next to your site name, the browser tab icon and the phone app icons are now this product's own icon.
Admin → Settings → Branding: a logo and favicon guide next to the upload fields (size, ratio, format, file size and colours for the logo, the dark-mode logo and the favicon) with the ready-made files to download, in Hindi and English.
v1.0.128 Oct 2026
News Portal 1.0.1.
A fix release for the live demo: the demo's stories now show their lead pictures.
The pictures that the demo's scheduled task draws after the install now show on the public site. Each demo story's lead picture goes into a new published version of the story, as a picture swap does, so the story page, the story cards on the home and section pages and the share picture of social previews show it, right after the first run of the task and again after every nightly demo reset.
Before, the picture was only set on the story's record, which the public pages do not read, so demo stories showed no picture (the e-paper pages were fine).

FAQ
Does it run on shared hosting?
Yes. It runs on ordinary cPanel hosting with one cron line. For push audiences in the lakhs or a big newsroom working at once, a VPS is faster.
Can I move my WordPress site?
Yes. Upload the WordPress export file (or a CSV, Excel or JSON file): stories come in with their dates, categories, tags, authors and featured pictures, and every old address redirects (301) to its new story. A redirect report lists what still needs a redirect. Comments and pages are not imported in 1.0.
Is the reporter app a separate download?
No. It opens in the phone's browser at your site's newsroom app address and installs to the home screen. Stories and photos wait on the phone, encrypted, until there is signal.
Does it copy news from other sites?
No. It never scrapes. Agency copy comes only from feeds you have a licence for, with your licence rules and attribution.
Does it file my GST returns?
No. It helps with GST (release orders, tax invoices, GSTR-1 data); you and your accountant check and file the returns.
Is Hindi available everywhere?
Yes: every screen, message, e-mail, public template and the guide. Each story, section, tag and author has a language; Hindi and English ship in 1.0.
Does it need AI?
No. Trending, related stories, tag suggestions, the best push time and the quality score use rules on your own data. An optional AI booster is planned for 1.1.0.
Are memberships or a paywall included?
Not in 1.0: memberships, the paywall and AMP article pages come in 1.1.0. Every story is free to read in 1.0.
