Vydro · Roadmap
In-flight at the top, on-the-runway underneath, shipped receipts at the bottom. Updated most weeks — if something here has been “in flight” for two months, ask us why.
Right now the AI writes one title per Short and that's it. We're wiring it to generate three variants per video, rotate them across the first six hours, then lock the winner. Over enough uploads it learns the title shape your audience clicks on and biases future videos toward that style.
Most channels never have the discipline to A/B test their own titles. Vydro's about to do it on autopilot.
Paste a TikTok handle like @creator.daily and Vydro pulls their last 30 videos in one click. Today you copy each URL one at a time, which is fine for one video and miserable for thirty.
Wired through internally. Still wrestling with rate-limit etiquette before we ship it to Pro.
Pro lets you connect more than one YouTube channel, but the UX assumes one. Creators running three niches (gaming + cooking + finance, true story) currently fight a dropdown to route each video. We're moving to a rule-based router — niche tags, source handle, or a per-channel default.
Half the lifecycle drip is live (welcome, day-3, day-21, day-29). The trial-end recovery sequence — the one that fires after someone cancels — needs another pass. Currently a single "sorry to see you go" message; should be a three-step that asks why and offers a discount path on the third send.
Round one in March made the dashboard usable on a phone. Round two makes it good — a properly sticky upload sheet, swipeable queue rows, and dropping the desktop-grade analytics chart for a tighter mobile-only graph.
Roughly half the dashboard traffic is now mobile. It deserves more than a responsive afterthought.
Your YouTube Shorts auto-cross-post to Instagram Reels. Same queue, opposite direction. The pipeline is mostly symmetric — strip the watermark, reformat, schedule — but Instagram's upload API is finicky in ways YouTube's isn't.
We're still negotiating with the watermark gods.
The PWA gets us most of the way there — installable, push notifications, offline queue review. Native is the next step: deep iOS share-sheet integration so you can repost a TikTok with two taps from the TikTok app itself.
Spanish first (largest non-English Shorts audience), then Portuguese and Hindi. The transcript step already runs through Whisper, which handles those languages fine; the title-writing step is currently English-only by accident, not design.
A revenue-share path for established channels that bring their own audience. Think 20% of their first six months, capped, in exchange for being a public Vydro user. We're sketching the terms; the legal work is the slow part.
An in-app coach that looks at your last 30 days — posting cadence, niche consistency, retention per video — and writes you a one-paragraph review. Not generic "post more often" advice; specific notes like "your finance shorts retain 40% longer than your gaming ones, lean in."
A companion Chrome extension that hearts and likes the top three comments on your Short the moment it goes live. Pro tier only — engagement under your own short tends to nudge the recommendation system in your favour, and doing it manually is the kind of chore that drops off the third day.
Three pages we should have had from day one. /changelog is the canonical record of shipped work, /docs is a single-page operational reference, /status polls every dependency live. All three lean on the same paper-and-ink palette.
Seven templates covering welcome, day-3 check-in, weekly recap, trial endings, win-back. Was originally on Vercel Cron, then daily-only on the Hobby tier, now hourly via Supabase pg_cron so the timing actually matches the lifecycle stage.
A five-step guided setup so new accounts hit their first queued Short before bouncing. Same release shipped the ⌘K command palette — every page on the marketing site and the dashboard answers ⌘K with a search-and-jump modal.
Net effect: fewer support tickets that begin with "where do I…".
Every dashboard surface had a green or cyan dot with an expanding ring around it — the AI-website cliché. Replaced with static cues or nothing at all. Page feels measurably calmer. Nothing was actually live in real time anyway.
Every async action now confirms in a tight bottom-right toast instead of a banner the user has to dismiss. Queued, success, retry, and failure all share a single component so timing and motion feel consistent.
Six dashboard tabs — Settings, Billing, History, Calendar, Refer, Analytics — moved off the templated card grid. Each tab now reads as its own thing: Settings as a long-form magazine column, Calendar as a quiet two-axis grid, Refer as a single big number.
Paid accounts can replace the Vydro watermark with their own — image or text, four corner positions. Pro accounts get a templated first comment posted (and auto-pinned) the moment the Short goes live. The two most-requested paid features since launch, both finally landed.
Service worker, manifest, the works. Add Vydro to your home screen and it launches full-screen with no Safari chrome. Push notifications on Android land for upload-complete and queue-failed events; iOS handles them through web push as of recent Safari.
