What's new

New Features

• What's New" notification bell — A megaphone icon in the navbar now shows recent product updates so you never miss what's shipped. Tap it to see the latest entries without leaving the page.
• Topic search in the content sidebar — You can now search for topics directly from the content sidebar instead of scrolling through the full list.
• Memory controls in Settings — Vennie remembers context from your conversations to give better answers over time. You can now disable this entirely from Settings → Privacy if you prefer a clean slate every time.
• Dark mode for everyone — Anonymous and signed-out users can now toggle dark mode from the sidebar. Previously this was only available after signing in.
• Deep-linkable settings tabs — You can now link directly to a specific settings tab using URL parameters (e.g. /app/settings?tab=privacy). Useful for sharing or bookmarking.

Improvements

• Chat message queuing — Messages you send while Vennie is still responding are now queued and processed in order, instead of being dropped. No more lost messages during fast conversations.
• Chat input stays focused — Fixed a bug where the chat input would lose focus after sending a message, forcing you to click back into it every time.
• Smoother rate limit transitions — If you start chatting while signed out and then sign in, your rate limits now correctly reset to the signed-in tier. Previously they could get stuck at the anonymous limit.
• Videos load reliably — Fixed two separate issues that caused videos to crash or fail to load entirely. The video player has been refactored for stability.
• Mobile layout — The Vennie UI now works properly on mobile devices with correct layout, sidebar toggling, and sign-up button positioning.
• Featured article images — Fixed missing cover images on featured content pages.
• Skill Radar rendering — Fixed a display bug in the Skill Radar chart and ensured analytics tracking loads correctly.

Fixes

• Navigation between app and main site — Fixed an issue where signed-in users couldn't navigate back to the main marketing site from the app.
• Conference navigation updated — Updated navbar links and labels for the Chicago conference, including the industry domain redirect.

We’re excited to introduce something big. 

Our brand new, deeply personalized learning experience is now live in public beta, and we would love you to be part of shaping it.

At the heart of it is Vennie, our new AI Product Coach built specifically for the Mind the Product community. From the moment you join, Vennie gets to know you, your experience, and your goals. Then it starts guiding you. Recommending the right content. Suggesting learning paths. Helping you set meaningful goals.

This experience is powered by more than 10 years of Mind the Product content. Thousands of resources created by industry leaders are now structured into a curated journey that adapts to you.

But this is not just recommendations.

You can have deeper, ongoing conversations with Vennie to explore topics in more detail, challenge your thinking, and go beyond surface level learning. When you finish a piece of content, you can test your understanding and apply what you’ve learned. Then take it further by connecting with other members to discuss and debate ideas together.

We are also making it easier to connect in real life. The new experience promotes relevant local events near you so you can build relationships beyond the screen.

Looking for your next role? Our job board has moved into this new platform, so you can explore opportunities in the same place you are investing in your growth.

And yes, we want this to be fun. Growth should feel motivating. The more you engage, learn, and contribute, the more you climb the leaderboard. Invest in yourself and watch your progress show up.

This is a public beta, which means your feedback really matters. You can share your thoughts anytime using the “Leave feedback” button in the bottom left navigation.

Jump in. Explore. Challenge yourself. And tell us what you think.

We’re building this with you.
