Changelog & Updates FAQ

Common questions about our release cycle, widget updates, and roadmap suggestions.

Q.How frequently does ProofBeer release new features and updates?

We ship continuous improvements, new widgets, and performance enhancements on a weekly cycle. Major architectural milestones are tagged and detailed here in our public changelog.

Q.Do I need to re-embed my widget HTML snippets when an update is released?

No! ProofBeer widgets load dynamically via our high-speed global CDN. Any improvements, new styling options, or bug fixes are automatically pushed to your live embedded widgets without modifying your website code.

Q.Where can I request a new feature or widget type?

We love building with our community! You can request integrations, widget customizations, or dashboard features by reaching out via our Contact page or support email at support@proofbeer.com.

Q.Can I access past changelog releases programmatically?

Yes, our Developer REST API provides endpoint metadata and documentation for automated integration workflows.

ProofBeer is an all-in-one social proof platform for websites. It combines AI-assisted feedback forms, automatic Google, Facebook and Instagram review sync, and embeddable testimonial widgets in one dashboard. ProofBeer is software and is not related to beer or alcohol.

How we choose what to build

New features come from conversations with early customers and from the gaps we hit running our own proof workflows. Small, finished improvements ship often. Larger items, such as new review sources or API endpoints, are announced here when they are ready to use and not before.
