BanterBird Changelog

Version 0.0.9 Improvements

June 29, 2026

Make my own — click the new ✦ button in the BanterBird panel to draft an original post in your voice, inspired by any tweet. Edit it, regenerate, or tell it what to change, then post to X.
Choose how posts open — a new “Post on X” setting (under Behavior) opens posts inline, in a popup, or a new tab.

Version 0.0.8 Improvements

June 29, 2026

Not happy with a suggested reply? Tell BanterBird what to change — “make it shorter,” “add a question,” “less salesy” — and it rewrites that draft instead of starting over. It keeps any edits you've made, and you can keep nudging until it's right.

Version 0.0.7 Improvements

June 28, 2026

Knows when to stay quiet — when a post doesn't really invite a reply (a showcase, an announcement, anything a like says better), BanterBird now tells you with a short reason instead of forcing one. Hit “Generate anyway” if you disagree.
Works on “Generate all” too, so a whole timeline sorts itself into worth-replying and skip. Turn it off anytime under Replies.

Version 0.0.6 Improvements

June 28, 2026

Replies and posts sound more human — reworked how BanterBird writes so suggestions read like a real person, not templated AI (no more tidy three-part lists, “it's not just X, it's Y” phrasing, or forced opening hooks).
Reply and post types are now a light nudge instead of a rigid mold — pick a chip to lean a suggestion a certain way, and your own voice still leads.
Learn from your own X activity — click the new Sync ⟳ button in the BanterBird panel on your profile to pull in your recent posts and replies, then review or remove any of them in Settings → Replies → Your voice.
Matched to context — your recent replies shape new replies and your recent posts shape composed posts, so each sounds right for where it lands. Turn it on with “Use my recent posts & replies to match my voice.”

Version 0.0.5 Improvements

June 27, 2026

New reply types — each reply chip now shapes what the reply does: Hot take, Genuine question, Observation, Story, or Counter.
Compose original posts — give BanterBird an idea and a post type, and it drafts a few options in your voice to copy or post to X.
Pick your archetypes — choose which types show as chips, separately for replies and composed posts, in the new Archetypes settings.
Make your own — add custom archetypes with your own name and instruction, and they show up alongside the built-ins for replies and posts.
Test your voice now previews any reply type before you post.
The floating navigator can now stand vertical or horizontal — set it under Behavior (it's vertical by default).

Version 0.0.4 Improvements

June 26, 2026

Replies in your voice — tell BanterBird about yourself and add a few example posts, and it writes replies that sound like you.
New voice tools: preview a test reply, pick a writing style (or have one suggested), and manage your example posts right in settings.
Redesigned settings — a full options page plus a slimmed-down popup that shows your API key status at a glance.
Smarter context: on a post's page BanterBird now reads the whole thread and replies to the right post, while ignoring “Discover more” suggestions and spam.
A tidier floating navigator you can collapse, drag anywhere, and hide.
New Developer mode (in settings) that logs each request and reply to the console for troubleshooting.

Version 0.0.3 Improvements

June 25, 2026

Replies now type straight into X's reply box by default — switch back to a popup window anytime in settings.
Under the hood: rebuilt on TypeScript with a test suite and linting, for fewer bugs.

Version 0.0.2 Maintenance

Version 0.0.1 Initial release
