March 17, 2026: site redesign, launch updates, and community rollout

[ZeeMSG]

We finished the first full public rollout for ZeeMSG on March 17, 2026.

What shipped

• The main public site was redesigned to match the iOS app's modern look and product direction.
• Public pages were rewritten around the real ZeeMSG feature set: private messaging without phone numbers, invite and QR onboarding, verification, voice and video calling, media and voice notes, link previews, encrypted backups, app lock, notifications, appearance settings, and network privacy controls.
• The FAQ, Help, Security, About, Features, Download, Compare, Donate, and Changelog pages were refreshed so they reflect the app more accurately.
• Browser fallback handling for invite links was added so /i/... no longer falls through to a dead end when the app is not available.
• Legacy .html duplicates were redirected to their canonical PHP pages, while sitemap and .well-known behavior were preserved.

Community launch

• The ZeeMSG forum is now live with boards for Announcements, Help & Setup, Feature Requests, Privacy & Security, and General Discussion.
• The forum theme was brought into the main ZeeMSG visual system so it feels like part of the same site instead of a stock SMF install.
• Board layouts, headers, spacing, utility controls, and guest-facing navigation were cleaned up across the index and topic views.

Where to start

• Use Announcements for official release notes and launch updates.
• Use Help & Setup for install, onboarding, invite, and troubleshooting questions.
• Use Feature Requests for roadmap ideas and workflow feedback.
• Use Privacy & Security for verification, threat model, and relay privacy discussion.

More cleanup and polish will continue, but the redesigned site and the first community rollout are now live.
