Latest release v1.9 · Aug 6, 2026

  1. v1.9

    Rigged Wheel Spinner SEO pillar

    This release upgrades the Rigged Wheel Spinner landing page with clearer probability copy, structured data, and related-tool links—without changing the /rigged-wheel-spinner URL.

    Improved
    • Rewrote /rigged-wheel-spinner title, H1, meta description, intro, FAQ, and on-page guide around “rigged wheel spinner” and related custom-odds searches.
    • Added dedicated Rigged Wheel SEO sections covering weights vs percentages, fair vs weighted mode, how-to steps, and related tools (Random, Custom, Decision, Yes/No, Color, Fortune, Number, and the Weighted hub).
    • Expanded JSON-LD on the page with WebApplication, SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, HowTo, Article, and WebPage schema.
    • Aligned spoke metadata and keywords with the new pillar copy while keeping the existing weighted-wheel tool behavior (weights, live %, Equalize, templates, analytics).
  2. v1.8

    Question-intent pages and richer starter lists

    This release adds conversational what-* decision pages, upgrades key template spokes for question search intent, and fills starter wheels with more useful defaults.

    Added
    • Launched conversational decision pages: What Should I Do, What Movie Should I Watch, What Should I Draw, What Anime Should I Watch, and What Pokémon Should I Choose.
    • Added redirects from What Should I Eat and What Game Should I Play to the existing food and game-night spokes.
    Improved
    • Rewrote six template spokes with question-intent titles, tips, FAQs, and visible updated dates (food, visit country, game night, who goes first, pastel color, should I).
    • Standardized spoke SEO blocks with tips checklists, related decision links, and a single page H1.
    • Expanded starter lists across food, game night, pastel colors, presentation order, and the new what-* wheels so pages are useful on arrival.
    • Clarified home and help FAQ copy for Remove Winner After Spin and Create Custom Wheel share links.
    • Explicitly allowed major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and others) in robots.txt while keeping /api/ and /w/ private.
  3. v1.7

    Spinifywheel rebrand and richer giveaway wheels

    This release introduces the Spinifywheel brand and brings games, achievements, and shared tools to the Fortune, Prize, and Weighted wheels.

    Added
    • Rolled out the new Spinifywheel brand across the header, footer, and site metadata.
    • Added Games and Achievements to the Prize Wheel and Fortune Wheel, matching the Weighted wheel.
    • Added a shared under-wheel actions bar (Games, Achievements, Themes, Analytics, and more) across giveaway tools.
    Improved
    • Capped the input sidebar height on the Prize, Weighted, and Fortune wheels so long lists scroll instead of stretching the page.
    Fixed
    • Fixed a Fortune Wheel crash that occurred when saved entries were missing.
  4. v1.6

    Performance, security, and navigation polish

    This release focuses on faster mobile loads, patched dependencies, and cleaner in-page navigation.
