Release note: Content Engine v3 is live

A rebuilt capture inbox, a publish checklist that mirrors how I actually work, and one feature I removed on purpose.

Content Engine v3 is out today, free for everyone who owns v2. The headline change is the capture inbox. In v2 you had to pick a destination when you saved an idea, which meant most ideas died at the door while you decided. Now there's a single inbox, and triage happens once a week in a ten-minute review.

The publish checklist got rebuilt around a simple observation: I never write and edit on the same day. The new checklist splits into Draft and Ship stages with separate states, so a half-finished post can sit in Draft without cluttering your board.

I also removed the built-in analytics dashboard. Nobody used it. If you want stats, the template now has a clean export view you can paste into whatever tool you actually trust. Less surface area, fewer decisions.

Existing owners: open your original duplicate link and grab the update, or check your email for the new one. If you renamed your database properties, the update will still work — nothing structural was renamed this round.
