What's new in Xoru.

The latest updates, improvements, and fixes from our workshop to your dashboard.

June 2026

New

Strategic distribution playbooks

Launched a dedicated Playbooks workspace to select, customize, and execute strategic organic marketing frameworks. Select standard playbooks to generate tailored action items integrated directly into your Weekly Plan.

New

Hire a distribution specialist page

Connect with expert growth marketers, scraping specialists, and strategists directly from the app. Request custom assistance for setup, cold outreach campaigns, or organic strategy design.

New

Hashtag search support for scans

You can now configure scans using hashtags as search queries in addition to standard keywords. Includes enhanced opportunity count tracking and dashboard updates.

Improved

Weekly Plan task status & day-filtering fixes

Improved task card layout with visual status indicators for on-time, late, and expired/missed states. Established a firm policy preventing auto-moving or rescheduling of missed tasks, and resolved day-filtering UI bugs.

Improved

Reply rate analytics & rolling stats window

Renamed "Response Rate" to "Reply Rate" across dashboard metrics and added interactive response tracking on opportunities. Replaced calendar-week stats with a more accurate 7-day rolling window.

Improved

High-contrast notifications & daily email enhancements

Toast notifications in the Opportunities workspace now feature a high-contrast dark style and last for 5 seconds to ensure visibility. In addition, daily opportunity email body text is now limited to a clean 3-line format with ellipsis truncation, featuring a redesigned signature layout with Xoru's logo.

New

Remembered Google account & direct sign-in

Remembers your last signed-in Google account and displays a polished, premium suggestion card on the login screen. Allows return users to sign in directly with a single click, skipping the Google account picker entirely. Includes silent login failure recovery.

Improved

Sub-steps auto-complete main tasks

Completing all sub-steps of a task now automatically marks the main task as completed and updates the backend. Unchecking any sub-step will also mark the main task as incomplete.

Improved

Channels page loading skeleton

The Channels recommendation page now fetches data asynchronously, displaying a tailored loading skeleton screen instead of an empty state, with improved error handling.

Improved

Weekly Plan now shows platform-specific steps

Optimization tasks in your Weekly Plan now include concrete, actionable steps for each platform — Twitter/X, Reddit, LinkedIn, Hacker News, and Indie Hackers. No more vague "optimize your profile" instructions.

New

In-app notifications

The bell icon now shows notifications when new opportunities are found, your weekly plan is ready, or your channel recommendations are updated.

Improved

Weekly Plan step progress is saved

Checking off sub-steps in your Weekly Plan now persists across sessions. Your progress survives page refreshes and return visits.

New

No-Go Zones reporting system

Flag and exclude channels from distribution scans using a secure server-side verification and reporting system.

Fix

Stay signed in across sessions

Fixed an issue where users were prompted to sign in repeatedly. Sessions now persist correctly and refresh automatically.

Fix

Sign in no longer overwrites your profile

Fixed a bug where signing in with Google would reset your display name and other profile details. Your manually set profile data is now preserved on every sign in.

Fix

Plan cadence setting now persists

The Weekly Plan cadence preference (~1 hour, ~3 hours, 5+ hours) was resetting after plan regeneration. It now saves immediately on selection.

Improved

Opportunity filters are now instant

Platform filters on the Opportunities page now apply instantly against already-fetched data. No more 2-4 second delay on every filter click.

Fix

Fixed "null" showing in the UI

Several places in the app were displaying the literal text "null" when a field had no value. These are now handled with proper fallbacks or hidden entirely.

New

Reddit community suggestions & rules

Xoru now suggests Reddit communities for your product and tracks self-promotion windows and submission rules to keep marketing compliant.

New

Exclude platforms with No-Go Zones

Configure No-Go Zones in your dashboard settings to prevent Xoru from recommending specific subreddits, platforms, or handles.

New

Import details from website URL

Enter your landing page URL during onboarding to automatically analyze and import your product description, target audience, and positioning.
