Product Updates
Nestly launched on 24 March 2026. This is the honest, unfiltered record of everything meaningful we have shipped since day one: the features, the decisions, and the thinking behind them.
Launch Day
Monday 24 March 2026
The Nestly codebase was created from scratch: React 19, TypeScript strict mode, Tailwind 4, tRPC 11, MySQL via Drizzle ORM, and Manus OAuth. The forest green and warm cream brand system was set up with DM Sans and Playfair Display fonts.
Full public-facing landing page shipped: hero section, features grid, how-it-works steps, product roadmap cards for School and Medical dashboards, and a waitlist email capture form wired to the database.
ViewIntegrated Manus OAuth. No passwords, no email required. One-click sign-in with session cookies handled server-side. Protected route guards on all dashboard pages.
Parents can join the waitlist from the landing page hero. Emails are stored in the database, deduplicated, and trigger an owner notification on each new sign-up. Admin CSV export available in the dashboard.
Day 2
Tuesday 25 March 2026
The full Parent Dashboard was built: responsive sidebar navigation, child profile management, overview panel, and the hub grid. Desktop shows a three-column layout; mobile uses a bottom tab bar with full-screen hub panels.
ViewEvery aspect of a child's life gets its own dedicated hub: Identification, Medical, Development, Communication, Nutrition, Daily Routine, Learning, Goals, Social, and Sensory. Each hub has its own form, data model, and tRPC procedures.
13 database tables created and migrated: child_profiles, child_medical, child_development, child_communication, child_nutrition, child_routine, child_learning, child_goals, child_social, child_sensory, fever_episodes, growth_logs, and vaccine_records.
Parents can log their child's mood daily from the dashboard overview. Six mood states: happy, calm, tired, overwhelmed, excited, and proud. Mood data is stored with timestamps and optional notes.
The Medical hub ships with three sub-sections: a Fever Journal for logging temperature episodes with severity tracking, a Growth Chart powered by WHO percentile data, and a Vaccine Bulletin for tracking immunisation history.
Day 3
Wednesday 26 March 2026
Built dedicated explainer pages for each audience: /parents, /children, /school, /health-specialists, and /about. Each page has a hero, feature grid, how-it-works steps, and a waitlist CTA. Shared SiteNavbar and SiteFooter components extracted.
ViewFull Privacy Policy with COPPA and GDPR section (no data collected directly from children under 13 or 16), CCPA rights, and explicit age rating declaration. Terms of Service page. Both required for App Store submission.
ViewBuilt /contact with a name, email, and message form wired to the notifyOwner system. Every submission triggers an instant notification to the app owner.
ViewDay 4
Thursday 27 March 2026
Migrated six new tables: journal_entries (daily notes), appointments (calendar events), goal_milestones (progress tracking), child_documents (file storage), notifications (in-app alerts), and share_tokens (therapist and school access).
All new hub UIs are live inside the Parent Dashboard: Appointments Calendar, Goals and Milestones tracker, Daily Journal with mood tagging, Document Storage with S3 upload, Notifications Centre, Progress Report PDF export, Therapist and School Share Links, and a printable Emergency Card.
Rewrote the About page in a personal, first-person voice. Sections include the origin story, core belief (every child deserves a joined-up support system), mission statement, 8 values, team narrative, and ecosystem cards.
ViewDay 5
Friday 28 March 2026
Child profiles now use real photos instead of illustrated characters. Schools and medical teams need accurate identification. Photos are uploaded directly from the device, stored securely in S3, and displayed in a circular frame. A colour-coded initials fallback is shown when no photo has been added.
The School Dashboard went live for teachers, SENCOs, principals, and teaching assistants. Nine modules: Students, Daily Log with offline support, EHCP and PEI management, Communication, Wellbeing and Safeguarding, Appointments, Analytics, Academic Progress, and Subscription Management.
