WinWatcher WinWatcher

Changelog. Every change, newest first.

127 versions and 467 changes so far. Each change says where it is: the Chrome extension, the dashboard on getwinwatcher.com, or both. Chrome updates the extension by itself; the dashboard is always the newest.

“Extension + dashboard” changes show in both.

7.5.0

Latest
  • UI The Chrome toolbar icon is the orange bolt, without a tile. · Extension
  • UI The follow button on the store card: “+ Follow”, and “✓ Following” in a calm soft orange. · Extension
  • UI A clearer menu in the dashboard: regular, darker text, quiet group labels and the open page in soft orange. · Dashboard
  • Fixed A store you just followed in the extension opens straight away in the dashboard: it waits a moment for the store to arrive instead of saying you don’t follow it. · Dashboard
  • Fixed Emails: an uploaded logo is shown small in the header in every mail app (Outlook showed it at full size). · Dashboard

7.4.0

  • New New plans and prices, excl. VAT: Starter €14.95 a month (150 stores), Pro €24.95 (400 stores, Email library with 25 mailboxes, Visual History with 10 pages) and Agency €59.95 (1,000 stores, 400 mailboxes, 25 pages). Yearly: two months free. Customers who already pay keep their price. · Dashboard
  • New Email library mailboxes: a plan shows the emails of a number of stores (the stores you added to the library first, then the ones you follow longest). The library says so when you have more stores than mailboxes. · Dashboard
  • New Visual History: a plan can limit the pages you follow in total. · Dashboard
  • UI Pricing: each plan shows its price excl. VAT, the price incl. VAT, the yearly price, and what it includes: stores, Email library, Visual History, browsers and the number of features. Prices are written the English way (€14.95). · Dashboard
  • UI The example products and store on the home page are in English. · Dashboard

7.3.0

  • New Email library: exports are made in the background. Pick the stores, keep working, and a bar on the Email library says when your export is ready, with one “Download all” button: one ZIP with a file per store (and with Markdown every store in one file too). You also get an email with the download link, valid for 7 days and only for you. · Dashboard
  • New Store Details: a Google Ads button opens the store in Google’s Ads Transparency Center, to see whether it runs ads on Google (search, Shopping, YouTube, display). · Dashboard
  • UI The side panel shows the full WinWatcher logo, and the WinWatcher tab on Shopify stores is a little bigger. · Extension
  • UI Store Details: the scan buttons are the standard buttons, and a running scan keeps its button readable with a spinner. · Dashboard
  • Fixed A store that moved to a new main domain is now recognised: Shopify only redirects the shop pages of the old domain, not its data files, so WinWatcher now checks the home page. The new domain is added to your watchlist at the next Shopify scan. · Extension

7.2.1

  • Improved Admin → System checks the Visual History screenshots: how many of the newest are on the server, whether their folder is writable, and where to put them when they were copied to the wrong folder. · Dashboard
  • Fixed Visual History: a screenshot whose preview can’t be saved (e.g. a folder that isn’t writable after a move to a new server) is shown in full instead of as a broken image. · Dashboard
  • Fixed The website header shows the uploaded logo that fits the theme: the one for light backgrounds on light, the one for dark backgrounds on dark (with only one uploaded, the standard logo fills in). Before, the dark-background logo showed on light pages too, so its light wordmark was invisible. · Dashboard
  • Fixed An announcement bar saved before the rename says WinWatcher instead of TrendForge. · Dashboard

7.2.0

  • New WinWatcher moves to getwinwatcher.com. The extension talks to the new address from this version on; your account, login, stores and data stay the same. Update the extension (Chrome does it by itself) so it keeps working. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved The website’s address and support email come from one setting, so they are the same in every page, email, invoice and in the admin. · Dashboard
  • Improved Running subscriptions keep reporting their payments after the move: their payment notifications go to the new address by themselves. · Dashboard
  • Improved Moving to a new server: the installation wizard takes the key of the old installation, so a restored database backup keeps its settings and synced data. · Dashboard

7.1.0

  • New Email library: export the flows (and optionally every email) of a store, or of many stores at once, as Markdown for ChatGPT, Claude or your own software, or as PDF. Bulk exports go in parts of up to 10 stores (5 for PDF), one after the other, so nothing hits a limit. Links are left out and WinWatcher’s address is hidden. · Dashboard
  • New Store Details has a Tech stack tab: the store’s apps, pixels and analytics tools by group, its theme and checkout, and what was added or removed between scans. · Dashboard
  • New A store that moves to a new main domain (for example after a market switch from .nl to .com) is noticed by the Shopify scan: the new domain is added to your watchlist and the old one shows "moved to …" in Stores and Store Details. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Stores: a new filter "Share with sales" with a slider, e.g. only stores where 40–100% of the products have sales. The With sales column shows the share too. · Dashboard

7.0.0

  • New TrendForge is now WinWatcher: a new name, a new logo (the cut lightning bolt) and a new look everywhere, on the website, in the dashboard, in the admin and in the Chrome extension. Your account, stores, data and settings stay exactly as they were. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI New house style from the WinWatcher brandbook: the Poppins typeface, the orange "Bliksem" as the brand colour, calm white and "Nacht" dark themes (the light/dark switch stays), rounder cards and dark text on orange buttons for better contrast. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI New icons: the extension icon in Chrome, the favicon, the icon on Shopify stores and the share image when you post a link. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Emails and invoices carry the new logo. · Dashboard

6.49.1

  • Improved Visual History: when a rotating announcement bar or slider shows another message than in the last screenshot (while its messages are the same), this is now listed as a minor change ("Rotating announcement bar: another message in view"), so the different screenshots are explained. Works for scans from now on. · Dashboard

6.49.0

  • New A link to trendforge.nl shared in Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, LinkedIn or X now shows a proper preview: the page title, a short description and a TrendForge image. The changelog link names the latest version. · Dashboard
  • Fixed Visual History: comparing two scans failed with a server error when the new page had a button text the old page did not have. · Dashboard
  • Fixed Changelog: fixes are shown again (they were left out of the list). · Dashboard

6.48.2

  • Fixed + Add stores: when trendforge.nl gets too many requests at once, the stores are no longer reported as failed. The list waits as long as the server asks and puts those stores back in the queue, so every store in the list is still added. · Dashboard
  • Fixed Every dashboard request that hits the "too many requests" limit now waits and tries again by itself (a few times) before it shows an error. · Dashboard

6.48.1

  • Improved The store history for the dashboard and the extension is read in a few database queries per page instead of about seven per store (identical result). With many stores this kept database connections busy for seconds and could run out of connections ("Too many connections"). · Dashboard
  • Improved The dashboard asks for fewer things at the same time while it loads (each request uses a database connection). · Dashboard

6.48.0

  • Improved New Discord invite link. The link is set in one place (Admin → Settings → Chrome extension → Discord invite link) and used everywhere: the website, the emails, the dashboard and the extension. · Extension + dashboard

6.47.0

  • Improved The extension is much lighter: it keeps only the last 10 scans of each store (the full history is on your dashboard at trendforge.nl), cuts the history it kept before to that once, fetches only the newest scan of the stores that changed, and downloads at most 10 store catalogues per run. With many stores this made Chrome slow. · Extension
  • UI A calmer log-in screen: the TrendForge mark, what you get with a tick per line, and one button. · Extension
  • UI One dashboard button in the side panel (the home icon opens your dashboard on trendforge.nl); the second button that did the same is gone. · Extension

6.46.0

  • Improved Find supplier now also shows on product photos in a gallery that the store calls a slideshow, and on stores that mark their whole page as a pop-up library (such as vanilla-modal). · Extension
  • Improved On a product page the best-seller bar stays on the photo gallery when you pick another photo (it was on the first photo only, which slid away). · Extension
  • Improved A Shopify preview link (shopifypreview.com) never gets into your store list: following one follows the store under its own domain, or says to open it there. Ones that got in before are removed. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Email library: a store you search for that is not in the library says so ("No emails from … yet") with a button to add it. A pasted web address counts as its domain. · Dashboard

6.45.0

  • New Filters → Quiet stores: stores with no new product, unchanged active ads and nothing selling for 7, 14 or 30 days or longer. · Dashboard
  • New Stores: a button next to the Meta Ad Library icon opens the website of the store in a new tab. · Dashboard
  • Improved Meta Ad Library is faster: each ad is only searched within its own box, Ad Library tabs you are not looking at wait until you open them, and the best-selling order of a store is read once instead of for every ad. · Extension
  • Improved The side panel on an Ad Library page always shows the store of that page, also with several Ad Library tabs open (it could show the store of another tab). · Extension
  • UI The dashboard shows that it is loading (instead of an empty page or 0 stores) until your stores are in. · Dashboard

6.44.0

  • Improved trendforge.nl is leading: the store list, the unfollowed stores and the Apify accounts of all your computers are combined on the server, which sends the result back. A computer that connects takes what is on your account and no longer sends its own old copy up. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved The extension no longer downloads what only the dashboard uses (columns, Competitor Radar, Market check markets). · Extension

6.43.0

  • Improved The dashboard is only on trendforge.nl now: the Dashboard buttons, Open in dashboard and the links in the extension open it there. The extension keeps the side panel on stores and does the scanning. · Extension
  • UI Your own earlier scans are copied into the shared store history right after the update (within a minute), not only at night. · Dashboard
  • UI Visual History no longer reports a gallery image as removed when it is still on the page (a hidden slide, or not loaded yet when the screenshot was taken). Applies from the next scan of a page. · Dashboard

6.42.0

  • Improved Store scans are stored once for everyone on trendforge.nl instead of once per customer. The extension and the dashboard read them from there, so a scan by any follower shows up for all of them within a minute, and your account no longer fills up with copies of store data. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Your own measurements of ads, visits and reviews (also the ones made without a scan) are shown together with the shared ones. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved The dashboard loads the stores and their last two scans in a few requests and keeps them in your browser; after that only stores with a new scan are fetched. · Dashboard

6.41.0

  • Improved Every scan now keeps everything the extension measured (region, store description, first product, prices of the newest products), so the shared store history is as complete as your own. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Your own earlier scans are copied once into the shared store history (only visible to you), as the first step to storing the history of each store once for everyone instead of once per customer. · Dashboard

6.40.12

  • UI The dashboard says on every page when your TrendForge data is almost full or full: how much, what it means and what to do (unfollow stores you no longer need). · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Admin → Customers → Synced data shows what takes the room, per kind of data. · Dashboard

6.40.11

  • Improved Sync on a full account: the data of stores you no longer follow is cleared first, the store list, Apify accounts and settings always go through, and the limit is twice as high. Before, a full account stopped every sync (new stores, accounts) without a sign. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Admin → Customers → a customer → Synced data: how much they store, and the Apify accounts on the server, with a button to send them to every device again. · Dashboard

6.40.10

  • Improved The store list on trendforge.nl is completed from the extension’s own list each time it sends it: a store you follow is never missing from the dashboard, whatever kept a sync from getting through (Admin → Activity shows when stores were added this way). · Extension + dashboard

6.40.9

  • UI Stores → Filters: Market and Company country show each country by its full name (Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands) with its flag, also on the filter button and in the active filters. · Extension + dashboard

6.40.8

  • Improved The dashboard on trendforge.nl always shows every store you follow: it reads the store list fresh from your account on every visit, and combines it with a change of its own instead of skipping the newer one (stores added in the extension or with + Add stores were missing). · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Sync: one item the server can’t keep (a key that is too long, a value that isn’t valid) no longer blocks the rest; everything else is saved, and Admin → Activity shows what was refused. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved A new version is found by itself after uploading it (it no longer needs Install update), and an admin page that was open during an update shows “A new version is installed · Reload” instead of errors. · Dashboard

6.40.7

  • Improved Stores: with “Hide auto-followed stores” on, searching a store by name always finds it, and the list says how many auto-followed stores are hidden, with a button to show them. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved An update whose database step fails is tried again at most every 10 minutes, not on every page (each try cost seconds). · Dashboard
  • Improved Visual History: when Cloudflare refuses one of the time-saving scan options, the page is scanned again the old way instead of failing. · Dashboard
  • Improved A store whose public contacts couldn’t be read is tried again within the hour (not after a week), and the check of a store that is gone takes seconds instead of up to twenty. · Dashboard

6.40.6

  • Improved Faster browsing: the Find supplier button finds its spot under a sticky header in one step and does nothing while you scroll without it, and reading a store’s social profiles copies a few links instead of the whole page. · Extension
  • Improved After the extension is updated, the old copy in open Ad Library and store tabs stops by itself (no more “Extension context invalidated” errors that kept running on every change of the page). · Extension

6.40.5

  • Improved The update of 6.40.4 no longer stops on MySQL: an index MySQL needs for a foreign key stays. · Dashboard

6.40.4

  • Improved The sync of 6.40.3 and the database and cache changes of 6.40.1 are taken back (sync, indexes, admin caches and the nightly cache clean-up), on request. The fix that keeps Apify accounts from being emptied stays in the extension. · Dashboard

6.40.3

  • Security Apify accounts can no longer disappear: a browser or the website that doesn’t have them (yet) never replaces the accounts on your account; only removing an account yourself removes it. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Admin → System → Clear caches works again, step by step; if a step fails, it says which one and why. · Dashboard

6.40.2

  • Improved The dashboard loads again (it stayed empty in 6.40.0 and 6.40.1). · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Social profiles are icons next to the store’s name instead of their own card: every profile the store links (now also TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, X, Threads, LinkedIn and Snapchat). · Extension

6.40.1

  • Security Requests the server makes to a store (public contacts, store checks, theme detector, Visual History pages) only follow a redirect to another public https address, never into a private network. · Dashboard
  • Security Choosing a plan with a discount code is limited to a few tries a minute, and every page sends two more browser security headers. · Dashboard
  • Improved Admin is faster: the notices on top, the menu counters and the list of admin pages are worked out once a minute (or cached) instead of on every page, and no admin page waits for Cloudflare any more. · Dashboard
  • Improved Faster account, affiliate and billing pages (database indexes), and the cache is cleaned up every night. · Dashboard

6.40.0

  • New Discount codes (Admin → Billing → Discount codes): a percentage off the first payment, a number of months or every payment, for some or all plans, between two dates and a number of times. Customers fill the code in when they choose a plan, or open trendforge.nl/c/CODE. · Dashboard
  • New A discount code can belong to a customer: whoever uses it is linked to them as an affiliate, so they earn the commission. Make one from the customer (Customers → Affiliate → New discount code for them), and give an affiliate their own link code (trendforge.nl/r/MARK). · Dashboard
  • New Affiliate levels: a base commission for a number of months, a higher percentage from a number of paying customers, and a launch bonus (the first affiliates earn for as long as their customers pay). Every number and percentage can be changed; affiliates see their level on Account → Affiliates. · Dashboard
  • New A free LTV calculator on trendforge.nl/tools/ltv-calculator: what one customer is worth (AOV × gross margin × orders per year × years) and the most you may pay to get one. · Dashboard
  • New Social profiles in the sidebar: the store’s Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest and X, read from the page you have open (header, footer and structured data). Share links, single posts, Shopify’s and app makers’ profiles and links in product descriptions are left out; networks the store doesn’t link show a possible profile from its name. · Extension

6.39.0

  • Security Email library: a link in an email first opens a TrendForge page with where it goes (read from the tracking link when it can be), without the reader’s personal tokens; opening the store’s own link is your choice. · Extension + dashboard
  • Security Email library: images on the web (tracking pixels, images TrendForge couldn’t keep) are blocked in the email until you choose “Load images from the web”; the shared address is masked in the email. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Public contacts: a store’s details show how it can be reached, as it publishes it itself: customer service and business email addresses, phone numbers, its contact form, social profiles, business address (a return or warehouse address is labelled as such) and company name and registration numbers. Read from its home, contact, about and legal pages (at most six pages), kept a week. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Tech stack (was Apps & pixels): Apps, Pixels & analytics, Theme and Changes (apps, pixels and a theme a store added or removed since its scan before). · Extension + dashboard
  • New Ad Library: an EU/UK reach button on each ad. A click opens Meta’s own ad details and shows the EU or UK reach (and spend when Meta shows it), as Meta’s estimate. Nothing is asked without a click; switch it off in Settings. · Extension
  • New Visual History: the stores on the left, like the Email library: find a store and click it to see only its pages, grouped by with changes, scanned and waiting. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Visual History: pages whose products only appear after the theme’s own script or scroll animation (they stayed white in the screenshot) are shown in full. · Dashboard
  • New Visual History loads much faster: the tiles show a small preview of the top of each page instead of the whole screenshot, loaded only when it comes into view. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Admin → Settings → Automatic store scans: how often every followed store is checked by the server, and at which hours, so nobody has to open a store again to see what changed. · Dashboard

6.38.0

  • New Plans: set how many stores a customer may follow in Visual History, and how many pages per store. Reaching the limit shows what the plan includes and the way to upgrade. · Dashboard
  • New Admin → Visual History: choose when automatic scans run (on or off, and only at the hours you pick). · Dashboard
  • New Visual History: add any page of a store yourself (a sale collection, a landing page …) with “Add a page” at the store. It must be a page of that store; up to 6 pages per store, or what the plan says (Plans → Visual History: pages per store). · Extension + dashboard
  • New Stores: a new column “Visual & emails” shows per store its Visual History pages and Email library emails (⚙ Columns). · Extension + dashboard
  • New Store scans check whether a store is still there: closed by Shopify, behind a password, or gone (its domain no longer points anywhere or the server is down). The store gets a mark and the Scan log says why. · Extension
  • Improved Visual History scans use less Cloudflare browser time: no waiting for trackers and chat widgets, which are left out together with videos. · Dashboard
  • Improved Visual History: newsletter pop-ups, sign-up windows and cookie banners are taken off the page before the screenshot. · Dashboard
  • Improved Visual History: when Cloudflare says “too many”, the message says when scans go on (its own time, midnight UTC for a used-up day, or a few minutes), every scan waits until then, and it no longer counts as the page failing. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Visual History: new pages get their screenshots sooner (a run every 5 minutes, one page per store per run, a short pause between scans for Cloudflare). · Dashboard
  • Improved Ad Library: “Added to the store” uses the date the product was first put on the store, not a later re-publish. · Extension
  • Improved Admin → Email library: every mail domain has its Check button in its own row, and a token that may not do something now says what it tried, which permission to add and that the token must cover that domain. · Dashboard
  • Improved Settings open on All (or the category you chose last), not on Account & help. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved The sidebar ends exactly at the bottom of the screen when the announcement bar is shown. · Dashboard

6.37.0

  • New Visual History: a before / after slider you drag right on the screenshot, with a round handle that stays in view while you scroll. It is now the first view of a page; Side by side and Difference are still there. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI A new loader for tools at work (Visual History, Email library, Market check, Risers, Vendor spy): the TrendForge mark with soft rings and the step it is on. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Account: the menu on the left looks like the dashboard’s sidebar. · Dashboard

6.36.3

  • Improved Find supplier: the button on a product photo no longer floats over a store’s sticky header or menu; it moves down to the first free part of the photo. · Extension

6.36.2

  • Improved Ad Library: the labels show much sooner. “Added to the store” and a known best-selling place appear right away; a place that still has to be looked up shows “Finding its best-selling place…” and fills in when it is found. · Extension
  • Improved Ad Library: the ads of one big store no longer keep the other stores waiting (up to three stores are looked up at once, still one request at a time per store). · Extension
  • Improved Ad Library: the labels no longer disappear and load again every time your watchlist syncs. · Extension

6.36.1

  • New Visual History: filter your pages on the market the store sells in, with its flag and the number of stores. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Visual History: “Scan now” in a store’s details no longer gives an error. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Email library: a store gets at most one address per mail domain, so one blocked domain can’t take all its addresses with it. · Dashboard
  • UI Visual History: “What changed” is clearer: a summary per kind, and every change as its own card with what it is, “Was” and “Now”, and images as small pictures. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Visual History: the timeline always shows the time of a scan, and screenshots are never bigger than the screen. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Affiliates: the leaderboard shows everyone’s own sprout picture. · Dashboard
  • UI Email library: an email shows which address it was sent to. · Extension + dashboard

6.36.0

  • Security Email library: unsubscribe links are hidden in the emails, so nobody can take a shared address off a store’s list by accident. · Dashboard
  • New Market check: a new option “Only stores that focus on these countries”, and every match now says why it counts for your market (its own country, “ships to IT” or “ships worldwide”). · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Visual History: small things that change by themselves (countdowns, “ships by” dates, slider buttons, stock and visitor counters) are folded away as minor changes and no longer count or send a Discord alert. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Visual History: the pages of one store no longer block each other for hours, so the home page, best sellers and product page all get scanned. · Dashboard
  • Improved Products: adding a product to your sheet from the Products tab now always puts the right product link (and the Ad Library link) in it. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Admin: emails that Cloudflare marks “Dropped” after our worker took them are no longer listed as failed deliveries. · Dashboard
  • UI Visual History: every change shows its category next to its colour, the comparison fits the screen, and each page says clearly what it is (home page, collection page, product page, other page). · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Email library: the overview explains what it gives you: their sales calendar, discount strategy, subject lines, flows and alerts. · Extension + dashboard

6.35.0

  • Improved Plans: the text of the payment options no longer runs over the cards. · Dashboard
  • Improved + Add stores follows your light or dark choice, like the rest of the dashboard. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Email library: a new look in the style of Visual History. The overview explains how it works in three steps (every store has its address, you sign up yourself, their emails come in), and a store’s page shows one big address to sign up with, what to do (newsletter, abandoned cart, browse) and the other addresses with why there are several. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI A feature that isn’t in your plan (Email library, Visual History) shows what it does, what you’re missing right now and a preview. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI The welcome guide after sign-up: tick steps off with a progress bar, orange steps, clear buttons and the Discord in its own colours. · Dashboard
  • UI Everyone has their own little sprout as picture, made from their account and the same everywhere. · Dashboard

6.34.0

  • New Visual History: pages of the stores you follow that other TrendForge users already scan show up, with their screenshots. Open them, or follow them with one click. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Email library: “Confirm your subscription” emails are confirmed by themselves more reliably (“Yes, I want to subscribe” first, tried again for half an hour when the store’s page doesn’t answer), and the email says whether it worked. Confirmation emails that came in before are confirmed too. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Email library: the store list shows each store’s favicon. · Extension + dashboard

6.33.5

  • Improved Admins: Visual History’s Scan now ignores the limits per store (hours between scans, scans a week, a store’s cool-down), and admins follow as many stores as they like. · Dashboard
  • UI Everyone has their own picture: soft colours worked out from their account, the same everywhere (account page, the menu on trendforge.nl, connecting the extension). Nobody can change it. · Dashboard

6.33.4

  • Improved Email library: new addresses only use mail domains that receive email; a new domain still waiting for its nameservers is skipped until it works. · Dashboard
  • Improved Admin → Email library → Settings & status: an “Action needed by you” box with the nameservers to set at your registrar, and clearer buttons (Check per domain, Set up / check all domains). · Dashboard

6.33.3

  • Security Cloudflare: the webhooks (the Email library’s email worker and Mollie) skip Cloudflare’s “Just a moment…” check with their own first rule, set by TrendForge itself, so emails and payments are no longer stopped. They stay protected by their own secret and signature. · Dashboard
  • Improved Admin → Cloudflare: the status says whether Bot Fight Mode is on (it stops servers like the email worker and no rule can make an exception), with a button to switch it off, and a button to let the webhooks through right away. · Dashboard

6.33.2

  • Improved The landing pages per audience (/for/…) show all their blocks: below the top they stayed invisible. · Dashboard

6.33.1

  • Improved Admin → Email library → Settings & status: the mail domains as a list, each with its status, what to do, how many addresses and emails it has, and its own Check button. · Dashboard
  • Improved Admin → Email library → Addresses: an address TrendForge made by itself says “TrendForge (automatic)” instead of a customer. · Dashboard
  • Improved Email library: the message about adding a new mail domain says exactly which permission the token needs. · Dashboard

6.33.0

  • New Discord alerts for Visual History: a “Page changes” rule posts the screenshot and what changed when a page you follow changes. Choose the kinds (promotions, prices, images, buttons, products added or removed) and how many changes at least. Sent by trendforge.nl, also when your computer is off. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Admin → Email library → Failed deliveries: what Cloudflare Email Routing didn’t deliver in the last 7 days, with the reason, and the emails TrendForge kept to handle again. The menu shows how many. · Dashboard
  • Improved Email library: a clearer message when the Cloudflare token can’t add a new mail domain, with the one change that fixes it. · Dashboard

6.32.3

  • Improved Email library: an email that can’t be handled right away is kept and handled again every 10 minutes (the error shows in Admin → System), so none is lost. · Dashboard
  • Improved Email library: a “confirm your subscription” link is opened after the email is saved, so a slow confirmation page never holds it up. · Dashboard
  • Improved Email library: the Cloudflare email worker tries again when trendforge.nl doesn’t answer, writes the reason in its Cloudflare logs, and is uploaded again by itself after an update. · Dashboard

6.32.2

  • New Admin → Visual History: how much Cloudflare Browser Run time is left, today and this month, counted from Cloudflare’s own figure per visit, against your Cloudflare plan (Workers Free or Workers Paid). · Dashboard

6.32.1

  • New Email library: every store you follow gets its email address ready by itself (within 15 minutes), so signing up on a store is copy and paste. · Extension + dashboard

6.32.0

  • New Visual History: following a store follows its standard pages, its home page, its best sellers and the product page of its #1 best seller. A link (a collection, a product, any page) still follows just that page. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Visual History has a new look: your pages per store, each with a large screenshot, its kind (Home page, Best sellers, Product …), its changes and quick buttons; a clear page header; Before and After as two date chips; the screenshots in a browser frame; and short messages instead of pop-ups. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Store details → Visual History shows the same view, with only that store’s pages. · Extension + dashboard

6.31.4

  • Improved Admin → Visual History: Cloudflare account tokens (cfat_…, made under Manage Account → API Tokens) work too, and the setup says when no new token was given. · Dashboard

6.31.3

  • Improved Admin → Visual History: “Set up Cloudflare for me” has a field for a new token (no saving first), and tries every Cloudflare account a token can see. · Dashboard

6.31.2

  • Improved Admin → Visual History: the Cloudflare permission has its new name (“Browser Run Write”, before “Browser Rendering”), also when TrendForge adds it to a token by itself. · Dashboard

6.31.1

  • Improved Admin → Visual History: “Set up Cloudflare for me” says exactly which permission to add and where, a Visual History token that no longer works is removed by itself, and every token uses the Email library’s Cloudflare account. · Dashboard

6.31.0

  • New A page for every audience on trendforge.nl: dropshippers, product researchers, media buyers, e-commerce brand owners and marketing agencies, each with their pains and what TrendForge solves, plus an overview at /for. · Dashboard
  • New Admin → Website & system → Landing pages: change every text, image, pain, solution, step and question of these pages, add new ones, and switch a page off (you can still preview it). · Dashboard
  • New Search engines: a sitemap (trendforge.nl/sitemap.xml), and the landing pages with keywords, a canonical link and their questions as FAQ for Google. · Dashboard

6.30.0

  • Improved Vendor spy finds more shops: it also tries the name without words like “Official”, “Store” or “Clothing”, and more endings (.eu, .fr, .be, .ca, .io …). · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Vendor spy checks every shop it finds: does it carry the vendor’s name, or sell products under it? If not, it is marked “Unsure”, and “Find shops & follow” leaves it out. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Vendor spy: “Find their shops” now looks up every vendor in the list (no longer only the first 60), many at once and much faster on trendforge.nl. Click it again to stop. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Vendor spy: shops looked up before show straight away, and names that are no brand (Default, Unbranded, suppliers like CJdropshipping) are left out. · Extension + dashboard

6.29.0

  • New Ad Library: an ad that goes to a landing page first (a prelander) now gets the best-selling place of the product that page sells. · Extension
  • New After connecting the extension: a short tour of what TrendForge can do, step by step, and an invitation to our Discord. · Dashboard
  • Improved Ad Library: follow or unfollow a store and its labels on the page update right away (no more “Follow …” for a store you just followed). · Extension
  • UI The home page shows Visual History (drag the line between the week before and this week) and the Email library, plus Find supplier, the smarter Ad Library, the Theme detector and the ROAS calculator. All features lists them too. · Dashboard
  • UI The page that connects the extension has the same calm look as the rest of the site. · Dashboard

6.28.0

  • New Products: filter on when a product was added to the store, with a period in one click (last 7, 14, 30 or 90 days, this month, last month) or two days in a calendar. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Ad Library: the day the ad’s product was added to the store. A product that wasn’t in your last scan gets its best-selling place looked up right away, instead of “not ranked yet”. An ad that links to a collection says so. · Extension
  • New A running scan always shows in the top bar, also one started by a schedule, another tab or the extension while you are on the website. The lists refresh when it ends. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Admin: Shopify scans started on the website run on the server, so they go on when you close the browser. · Dashboard
  • Improved Apify accounts: the extension and the website now keep the newest credit check of every account, and a removed account no longer comes back from another device. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Products: the filters in one calm row of pills (Added to store, Winner score, place, movement, price, more) and the store filters behind one “Store filters” button. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Stores: a clearer Scanners block (one card per scanner with its status and a scan button, all or only filtered stores as a switch) and “Followed stores” says how many have products and how many aren’t scanned yet. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI The Email library moved to Intel in the menu. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Admin: full email addresses in the lists of customers, payments, payouts and activity. · Dashboard

6.27.0

  • Security Email library: images are only fetched from public addresses (also after a redirect), only real image files are kept, and a folder no longer shows an email the admin has hidden. · Dashboard
  • New Email library: the images of every email are kept on TrendForge, so a newsletter still shows them when the store’s email platform deletes them. Images inside the email itself now show too. Tracking pixels are left out. · Dashboard
  • New Admin → Visual History: “Set up Cloudflare for me” finds a Cloudflare token TrendForge already has, tests Browser Run and switches Visual History to it. It runs by itself on the first visit. · Dashboard
  • Improved Visual History with Cloudflare: the account is found once instead of before every scan. The Email library’s daily limit check is faster. · Dashboard
  • UI A calmer bottom of the menu: the status in one box, the help links like the menu above and, on trendforge.nl, your account as a card with your name and plan. · Extension + dashboard

6.26.0

  • Security Email library: only email that clearly comes from the store is shown (its own domain, the sender checks of Cloudflare passed). Anything else is held for the admin. The HTML of every email is cleaned (no scripts, forms, frames or javascript: links), attachments are never kept, and an address takes at most 40 emails a day. · Dashboard
  • New Admin → Email library: every email per store (show, hide, delete, held emails with the reason) and every address. · Dashboard
  • New Admin → Cloudflare: one status of everything Cloudflare does: the website and its token, the cache and security rules, Email Routing per domain and the email worker, Browser Run. · Dashboard
  • New Store details: the store’s Email library and Visual History as tabs. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Email library: a clearer timeline (per day, with a filter per kind and a colour per kind), a store list with search, groups and counts, and “Not classified” for emails of no clear kind. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI A clear message when the Cloudflare token may not add a new domain, with what to change. · Dashboard

6.25.2

  • New Admin → Email library: a status check per domain (zone, Email Routing, MX records, catch-all to the worker, emails arriving), of the email worker on Cloudflare Workers, and of the API token and each of its permissions, with a step-by-step guide. · Dashboard
  • New Visual History can also use Lightpanda: a fast text scan of a page’s texts, prices, images and products, without screenshots. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Admin → Visual History: test the chosen service with one click. · Dashboard

6.25.1

  • Improved Admin: new admin pages (Email library, Visual History) show up right after an update. · Dashboard
  • Improved Admin → System: clear the list of recent errors. · Dashboard
  • Improved Visual History: the BrowserCat credits of the month are followed; scans stop at the limit you set (1,000 by default). · Dashboard
  • Improved Fewer database connections at the same time: waiting for a browser, a store or Discord no longer keeps one open. · Dashboard
  • UI Email library: the store list on the left no longer runs into the emails. · Extension + dashboard

6.25.0

  • New Visual History: follow a competitor’s page and TrendForge screenshots it every week. Compare two moments side by side, with a slider or the difference, and see what changed in colours: product images, promotions and key texts, buttons, prices, and what was added or removed. A timeline shows when TrendForge saw each change. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Admin: Visual History takes its screenshots with BrowserCat or Cloudflare Browser Run, your choice. · Dashboard
  • Improved Find supplier no longer shows on pop-ups and sign-up windows, so their close button stays free. · Extension

6.24.0

  • New Shopify theme detector: which theme a store uses, its version and whether it comes from the Shopify Theme Store. From TrendForge’s scans when known, else read live. In the dashboard under Tools, and free on trendforge.nl/tools/shopify-theme-detector. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved The Email library and the ROAS & profit calculator are real tabs of the dashboard now, with its menu, top bar and notices, in the extension and on trendforge.nl. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Admin: the Email library has its own place in the menu. · Dashboard

6.23.1

  • Improved Stores: click a column head (Products, Active ads, Last scan, Added …) to sort by it; click again for low to high or oldest first. · Extension + dashboard

6.23.0

  • New Email library and the ROAS & profit calculator are in the dashboard menu, under Tools, with the dashboard’s own look. · Dashboard
  • New Without the Email library in your plan you see what it shows (blurred) and how to get it. · Dashboard

  • Improved Download creative saves the HD video of an ad, and the full-size images. · Extension
  • Improved Find supplier opens on the left of the screen, next to the TrendForge sidebar instead of behind it. · Extension
  • Improved The Find supplier button only shows on product photos, no longer on banners or the header. · Extension

  • UI A clearer page for connecting the extension. · Dashboard
  • UI A calmer, more professional account page. · Dashboard

6.22.0

  • New Email library: make your own address per store, sign up with it, and every newsletter, sale, welcome series and abandoned cart flow the store sends lands in TrendForge. With the flows read back from the timing, send days and times, subject line patterns, discount codes, search and folders. Stores someone else already follows show their emails right away. · Dashboard
  • New Discord alerts for sale emails: a new rule kind tells you when a store you follow starts a sale or its Black Friday. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Download creative in the Meta Ad Library: one click saves an ad’s video or image(s) to your computer. · Extension
  • New Free break-even ROAS and profit calculator on trendforge.nl/tools: break-even ROAS and CPA, the ROAS for a 10, 20 or 30% margin, and your profit per order and per month. · Dashboard
  • Improved Find supplier on stores that block right-click: press Alt+Shift+S for the photo under your mouse, or the product’s main photo. · Extension
  • UI Find supplier has the TrendForge look, and its button on product photos is clearer. · Extension
  • UI Risers: the sheet button is the same 📗 as in Products and Scaling. · Extension
  • UI A livelier account page: your plan, followed stores and quick links at the top, a colour per section. · Dashboard

6.21.0

  • New Find supplier: see any product on 1688, AliExpress and Alibaba by its photo, all three at once. Sort by best match, most sold or lowest price, with MOQ and sales on every listing. · Extension
  • New Find supplier is one click away: 🔍 on every product in Products, Scaling, Risers and Today, the Supplier button on product photos in a store, and Find supplier when you right-click any photo. · Extension

6.20.7

  • Improved Your followed stores are the same on every computer: trendforge.nl combines the lists of all your computers, and every computer takes over the list of the website. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved A computer with an old copy of your store list can no longer remove stores you follow elsewhere; only unfollowing removes a store. · Extension + dashboard

6.20.6

  • Improved Active ads through Apify can now also run on the much cheaper Curious Coder Ad Library scraper, with a cap on the ads per store. · Extension + dashboard

6.20.5

  • New Risers: put a product straight into your product research sheet, from the row or from its details. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Stores on a .cz domain now land in the Czech Republic, and 16 more countries are recognised (Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Greece, Japan, Brazil and more). · Extension + dashboard
  • UI The notice for a new auto-followed competitor has more colour, shows the rules it matched and how long it stays. · Extension

6.20.4

  • UI Account: every icon in the menu and on the cards has the same orange. · Dashboard

6.20.3

  • New A new page with every feature, each explained in a few words: trendforge.nl/features. · Dashboard
  • Improved Home: “Stores you follow” is the same number as the Stores page, blurred stores included. · Extension + dashboard

6.20.2

  • UI Account: the top of the page is plain and calm again. · Dashboard

6.20.1

  • Improved Meta Ad Library: a store you follow is recognised when its ad links to another subdomain (such as fr.) or a tracking address, by the address Meta prints under the ad. · Extension
  • Improved Meta Ad Library: the best-selling label now also appears on ads whose Shop now button loads a moment later. · Extension

6.20.0

  • New Affiliate leaderboard on Account → Affiliates: the real numbers of the best affiliates, with shortened names so nobody is recognised. · Dashboard
  • New The affiliate programme on the home page and in the footer: 35% of every payment (excl. VAT) for as long as the customer pays. · Dashboard
  • New Add stores: import several Excel or CSV files at once, with all their store columns together. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Three plans, each monthly or yearly, and a year is 15% cheaper than twelve months. One free trial of 7 days for every plan. · Dashboard
  • Improved Settings in clear categories with a search, and a Help & support card with a Discord button. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Updates come from the Chrome Web Store by themselves: no more download notice in the extension. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Products: the count now says it holds the best 5,000 products of each store, and Home explains why its total is higher. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Faster public pages: Cloudflare keeps a copy for visitors without an account, refreshed when prices or settings change. · Dashboard
  • Improved Old scan log lines are cleaned up regularly, so your data stays small and fast. · Dashboard
  • UI A more colourful account page and sidebar menu, with the Discord logo. · Dashboard

6.19.4

  • Security Cloudflare security rules in one click: scanners and attack tools are blocked, login and register are protected against password guessing, and /admin can be closed for everyone but you. · Dashboard
  • Improved Faster dashboard and admin: after every update the site builds its caches again by itself, the admin switches pages without reloading, and its charts share their numbers. · Dashboard

6.19.3

  • Improved Cloudflare: the firewall rules install without an admin IP list too. · Dashboard
  • UI Meta Ad Library: the label is short now (Top 4% best seller), with the TrendForge mark on a clear background. Choose its colours and from which percentage each colour starts in Settings → Active ads. · Extension

6.19.2

  • New Home: a start page for the dashboard. A greeting, your numbers at a glance, the products climbing right now with their photos, what is left to set up, and the top best seller of every competitor. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Meta Ad Library: the best-selling place shows up for many more ads. The ad’s “Shop now” link counts, the top 50 of your last scan is used when the full catalogue is missing, and otherwise the label says why (not followed yet, a new product, or a link to the store instead of a product). · Extension
  • Improved The scheduled tasks no longer report a false error every minute. · Dashboard
  • Improved Cloudflare: one button for the safest certificate setting (Full strict) with your own Let’s Encrypt certificate, after checking it is valid. When the API token misses a permission, the message names it. · Dashboard

6.19.1

  • Improved Support is TrendForge only: [email protected] on every page. · Dashboard
  • UI A new home page: moving colour, example alerts that float in, a window that tilts into place, and the TrendForge flow from a competitor’s store to your scaled winner. · Dashboard
  • UI Clearer pricing: every plan has every feature, each plan shows its stores and browsers at a glance, the yearly saving, how paying works, and a table to compare the plans. · Dashboard

6.19.0

  • New Account → Affiliates counts the clicks on your link (once per visitor per day) and shows your conversion: how many visitors registered and how many of them subscribed, with a chart of the last 30 days. · Dashboard
  • New Cloudflare support: the site can run behind Cloudflare’s CDN and firewall, with the real visitor address kept for security. · Dashboard
  • Improved Old, unused styling removed, so pages load a little lighter. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Today shows a picture with every signal: the product photo or the store’s best seller, with the store’s favicon, and the best sellers of the store in the side view. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI The dashboard uses the full width of your screen. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Add stores looks tidy again: a centred page with clear cards. · Extension + dashboard

6.18.4

  • UI Watchlist in the side panel: every store shows its favicon and the photos of its top 4 best sellers. Click a photo to open the product. · Extension

6.18.3

  • New TrendForge is in the Chrome Web Store: “Add to Chrome” on the website, in the dashboard menu and in your account takes you straight there. · Dashboard
  • UI The menu on the left fits on your screen without scrolling, also on smaller laptops. · Extension + dashboard

6.18.2

  • Improved Account → Affiliates: people who are on a free trial now show how many days of their trial are left. · Dashboard

6.18.1

  • New The home page is livelier: example alerts come in one after the other (a new competitor, a product that scales, ads that rise), numbers that count up, a bit of colour, and more about how you use TrendForge and who it is for. · Dashboard
  • Improved Meta Ad Library: next to “Running X days” a second label with the best-selling place of the ad’s product (e.g. Top 4% best seller · #12 of 300), when you follow the store. Both labels sit on a row of their own, so the ad looks tidy. · Extension
  • UI The dashboard and the extension look as they did before 6.18 again, with the menu on the left, Today, Ctrl K and the scan bar kept. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI The TrendForge icon on store pages is clearly visible again. · Extension
  • UI No long dashes in the texts any more. · Extension + dashboard

6.18.0

  • New A new look for everything: the website, the dashboard, the admin and the extension. Calm and dense, a dark and a light mode (System, Light or Dark, shared between the website, the dashboard and the extension), and the TrendForge orange only for the one main action. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Today, the new start page of the dashboard: what changed since the last scan (risers, a new #1, launches, ads jumps) in one list, with the reasons and Add to sheet / Market check / Ad Library next to it. Keys: J / K to move, E seen, S add to sheet. · Extension + dashboard
  • New A menu on the left instead of the row of tabs, with counts; search or jump anywhere with Ctrl K (⌘K): pages, stores, products, scanners, theme. · Extension + dashboard
  • New You always see which scan runs: the top bar shows the scanners, how far it is (e.g. 34 / 347) and the store it is on, with Stop. Also when you open the dashboard halfway a scan. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Affiliate programme: your own link on Account → Affiliates. Everyone who registers through it is linked to you; you earn a percentage of their payments and see who registered, who subscribed, who is still active and what you earned. Ask for a payout from 30 days after a payment. · Dashboard
  • New Risers: a slider to show only products in the top X% of their store’s best-selling order (1–100%). · Extension + dashboard
  • New Meta Ad Library: under “Running X days”, the product page the ad links to and, when you follow the store, its best-selling place (e.g. Top 4% · #12 of 300). Switch it off in Settings → Active ads. · Extension
  • Improved Auto-follow is on by default now, with its notice on the page (you can still switch it off in Settings). · Extension
  • Improved Competitor Radar keeps where you scrolled when you check a store or something syncs, and says how many stores “Hide below N ads” leaves out. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Two computers or two people scanning the same store at the same moment no longer cause an error. · Dashboard
  • UI Inter everywhere, icons instead of emoji, numbers that line up, hairline borders instead of shadows. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Add to product research sheet sits in the bestseller card now, right under the product’s place. · Extension

6.17.26

  • New New plans: Starter (100 stores, 1 device), Pro (500 stores, 2 devices) and Agency (no store limit, 5 devices), monthly or yearly with two months free. Running subscriptions keep their plan and price. · Dashboard
  • New The pricing page explains why TrendForge costs less: bring your own Apify, or use your browser for free. · Dashboard
  • Improved Meta Ad Library: the ad count in the side panel updates again while you browse the Ad Library, also right after an update of the extension (open Ad Library tabs are picked up again). · Extension
  • Improved Your plan’s store limit now also applies to + Add stores, vendor spy and following from the dashboard. Stores you already follow always stay. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Meta Ad Library: the “Running 14 days” badge now carries the small TrendForge logo. · Extension

6.17.25

  • New A notice at the top of trendforge.nl (and the dashboard), set by TrendForge: news, an opening or a sale. And discounts for a period: the price cards show the normal price struck through, what the discount is and until when. · Dashboard
  • Improved Competitor Radar on two computers: checks, notes, statuses and columns from your laptop and your PC are combined instead of one overwriting the other. A change is sent only after what the other computer sent meanwhile has come in. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Niche chips: a space before “auto”, and no double ◆ in a niche’s name. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.24

  • New Discord alerts, rewritten. New simplest trigger: a product that really sells enters the top X% of its store (for example 3%), or has been there for a number of days. Choose per rule what the message shows: price, Winner score, places climbed, days in the top, launch date, photo and market. Clearer cards (place and top % first), and “Send a test message” now shows an example card. Rules you made before keep working as they did. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Meta Ad Library: an orange “Running 14 days” next to every ad’s start date, so you see at once which ads are still young enough to test. Reads only the page itself (no extra requests); switch it off in ⚙ Settings → Active ads. · Extension
  • New Niches found automatically from each store’s products: Women’s clothing, Men’s clothing, Shoes, Jewellery or Bags, only when it is beyond doubt (shown with “auto”; your own niches always win). Switch it off in ⚙ Settings → Store Watchlist. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Competitor Radar board: a ✓ Checked button on every card and “Last checked 3.5 days ago” in orange. A checked store leaves the board until it is due again (⚙ Settings: how often per status); “Show checked” shows them all. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Niches are saved in your own list, so you can pick them again for other stores, also when no store has them right now. ✕ takes one off the list. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI The “Send Discord alerts” switch sits next to its text again. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.23

  • New Vendor spy: 🔎 Find shops & follow. It looks up the own shops of the vendors in the list, checks that each shop found really is a Shopify store, follows those and scans them together. You get a summary: how many were followed, already in your list, not Shopify, or without a shop. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Vendor spy: “+ Follow” checks the shop again right before following, so only a real Shopify store is added, and starts its first scan right away. A shop counts as found only when its meta.json says it is a Shopify store. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.22

  • Improved Shopify stores are no longer called “not a Shopify store” by mistake. A page that does not look like Shopify for a moment (a loading screen, an A/B test page) is checked against the store’s Shopify meta.json first. A store that could not be counted right now says why instead. And a store that is busy or blocks the check for a moment is no longer marked ⚠ not Shopify by Still a Shopify store?: only a clear answer counts. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.21

  • UI Competitor Radar: the Niches pop-up in a store’s side panel opens in front of the panel, right under its button, instead of half behind it. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.20

  • New Competitor Radar: hide small competitors. Set “Hide below … ads” (for example 20) and stores with fewer active ads disappear from the board, the list and the counters. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Competitor Radar: a season finder for 128 countries. Pick the country you sell in and the months you sell for (by default the rest of this season and the next one), and the Radar finds every country with the same season in those months, for example Germany, the Netherlands and the UK when you sell in the US for November and December. Each country shows its average temperature and season per month; tick or untick countries yourself. Based on 10 years of temperatures of each country’s largest cities. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Competitor Radar: every country with its flag in the market filter and the side panel, and stores on country domains (.se, .pl, .jp …) are placed in their country. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.19

  • UI Competitor Radar opens as a board: one column per market (with its flag, the number of stores and how many advertise), plus Several countries, Market unknown and Chinese stores. Each store is a card with its domain, its active ads and its niches. Per column: the day of the week you look at it, “Viewed today” (the whole column counts as checked) and when you last viewed it. The list is one click away. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Competitor Radar: move a store to another column via Details → Market, including Several countries and Chinese store. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.18

  • New Stores: a filter and a button for stores that turned out not to be a Shopify store (or are offline). A scan or ☰ Bulk → Still a Shopify store? marks them with ⚠ not Shopify; one click shows them, to check or remove them. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Admin → Cache & Redis: choose where the cache and the sessions are kept (database, Redis or files) and how to reach Redis: a Unix socket (DirectAdmin) or host and port, with password and database numbers. The connection is tested before it is saved. · Dashboard
  • Improved Competitor Radar, simpler: one list with every store you follow, its ads (from TrendForge’s own counts) and when you last checked it yourself, with ✓ Checked. Counters for due, never checked, checked today, ads rising and ads stopped. The product tracker, the ads field and the CSV exports are gone. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved The dashboard opens faster. Each store’s previous scan is kept lean (only what comparing needs), so the dashboard reads about a third less. On trendforge.nl it no longer waits for the server before drawing, fetches everything in one round, never asks for the same data twice, and receives the data in a form the browser reads in one go. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Competitor Radar in English like the rest, with country flags, a clearer settings page (how often to check per status, and your same-season countries with flags and quick presets), and a sun icon for Same season. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.17

  • New Competitor Radar, a new research tab: check the stores you already follow every few days. "Today" lists the stores that are due (your own interval per status: Follow, Active, Dormant, Ignore), with their ads and the change since the last measurement, links to the Ad Library and the store, and a "Checked" button where you can note the ads you just saw. You also see your last checks and checks per day. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Competitor Radar: a store overview with a sparkline of the ads, rising and stopped stores, status, grade, market and notes per store, and a product tracker that flags test candidates (3–14 days live, under 10 ads) and scaled products. Thresholds, intervals and your “same season” countries are adjustable, and stores and products export to CSV for Excel. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Niches: set your own niches per store (e.g. Jewellery, Women’s clothing, Supplements) via ⋯ → Niches… or on the store page, and filter on them in Stores and the Radar, to include or exclude them. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.16

  • Security Extra browser protection on every page of trendforge.nl: other sites can’t frame it, file types can’t be guessed wrongly, and the live site insists on HTTPS. · Dashboard
  • Improved The Products tab on trendforge.nl opens much faster. The copy of the product catalogues in your browser is shown straight away, and newer ones are fetched in the background. On a first visit the products appear within seconds and fill in as more stores load, instead of waiting for every store. · Dashboard
  • Improved The dashboard’s scripts are fetched all at once instead of one after the other, and product photos and store icons load only when they scroll into view. · Dashboard
  • UI Fewer filters in view: the six most used ones (Market, Active Meta ads, Products, Products with sales, Followed, Label) are always shown. The rest are behind “More filters”, which also says how many of them are on. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Clearer Discord alerts. Each product card shows the store and market at the top, then three short lines: its bestseller place, how far it climbed, and its price and Winner score. The highest best sellers come first, with up to 8 cards per message. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.15

  • UI The Active Meta ads filter is now a slider with two handles: drag to any range, from 0 to 1,000+ ads. Quick buttons for None, 1–9, 10–49, 50–199, 200+ and 1+, and a tick to include stores whose ads aren’t scanned yet. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.14

  • New Discord alerts: a new rule setting “Only the top X% of the store”. Set 3 and you only hear about products in the top 1–3% of a store’s best sellers, set 5 for the top 5%. 0 leaves it off. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Discord alerts respect Discord’s limits when many stores are scanned at once: messages to one channel go one by one with a short gap, a “slow down” from Discord is waited out, and at most 25 messages an hour go to one channel. Stores held back are not lost: they come with a next scan, and the next message says how many were held back. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Discord alerts show what matters first: one bold line per product with its bestseller place (Top 2% · #20 of 1000) and the market it probably sells in, with a flag (🇬🇧 United Kingdom). · Extension + dashboard

6.17.13

  • Improved Much faster during scans and syncs: product catalogues, photo indexes and best-selling orders now live in their own database. They are saved once instead of twice, and are no longer sent to every open TrendForge page (the sidebar in every tab, the dashboard). The longest pause while scanning went from about 2 seconds to well under one. Moved once after the update. · Extension
  • Improved Photo fingerprints for the Market check leave room for your clicks in between. · Extension
  • UI Velocity labels on the best sellers: a clean pill with a coloured dot, white on photos and orange or green when a product climbs fast. · Extension

6.17.12

  • New 📣 Find this product’s active ads: on a product page, TrendForge reads the store’s active Meta ads (via your Apify account or the public Ad Library in your browser) and shows which ads link to this product, which promote a collection it is in, and which name it, with photos, start dates and links to each ad. · Extension

6.17.11

  • Improved Discord alerts also say in which market the store probably sells (from the countries it ships to, its domain and currency), for climbing products and for rising ads. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.10

  • Improved Discord alerts for climbing products show the bestseller percentage: top X% of the store, and what it was before. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.9

  • Security When you visited a Shopify store now stays only in your browser (used for “new since your last visit”); it is no longer synced to your account. · Extension
  • Security The extension’s fonts are included in the extension: opening TrendForge no longer contacts other servers. · Extension
  • Improved Privacy statement updated: auto-follow, the browser method for visits and reviews, exchange rates, shared store history and error emails. · Dashboard

6.17.8

  • Improved The Meta Ad Library stays fast with TrendForge on: the ad count is read only right after a new search, no longer on every change of the page. · Extension
  • Improved The floating TrendForge icon opens the sidebar right away, dragging can no longer get stuck, and the icon comes back when a store’s page removes it. · Extension
  • Improved “New competitor found” waits for you: in a tab opened in the background its countdown starts only when you look at that tab. · Extension
  • Improved After auto-follow (or Undo) the Watchlist button in the sidebar updates right away. · Extension
  • Improved Best-seller labels no longer land on colour swatches of a product page. · Extension

6.17.7

  • Improved On trendforge.nl without a connected extension the scan buttons are off and the sync line says so (an extension counts as connected when it was in touch in the last 7 days). · Dashboard
  • Improved Scans of stores in other time zones no longer fail on a launch date in the hour the clocks moved. · Dashboard
  • UI A long message (e.g. why a scan failed) shows in a line of its own below the header instead of squeezed next to the buttons. · Dashboard

6.17.6

  • UI Sidebar: Active Ads comes first; products with sales and the checkout follow below it. · Extension

6.17.5

  • New Product research sheet: the currency goes along with every product. Keep the store’s currency (and fill a Currency column), or convert every price to EUR, USD, GBP, CAD, AUD and more with today’s exchange rate. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Without a connected extension the dashboard on trendforge.nl says so clearly (with a popup once): scans run in the extension, so install it and log in. Add stores says “install the extension to scan it”. · Dashboard
  • Improved Best sellers in the sidebar: photos, prices and dates also for older best sellers when a store hides its product list. · Extension
  • Improved Sidebar product lists: middle click (or Ctrl-click) opens a product in a background tab, and the list keeps its scroll position when you open a product of the same store. · Extension
  • UI Country in your details: a short list with real flags (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Other), and it is filled in for you when we can tell. · Dashboard

6.17.4

  • Security A free trial starts only after you agree to the terms and the privacy statement; payment buttons stay off until the box is ticked. · Dashboard
  • New A clearer getting-started guide after sign-up: install and log in, follow your competitors (one by one, a pasted list or a file), how to scan, your product sheet, Discord alerts, and how to share your ideas with us. · Dashboard
  • New New TrendForge Discord server: the link is updated everywhere (site, dashboard, extension, emails). · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Saving scans no longer fails now and then when several scans of the same store arrive at the same moment. · Dashboard

6.17.3

  • Improved Starting is simpler: first a free trial with one button (no card), and only after it you choose how to pay. The welcome step and Account → Plan explain the two ways via Mollie: once with iDEAL or Bancontact (never renews) or a credit card subscription (renews automatically, cancel any time). · Dashboard
  • UI Every button, link, dropdown and checkbox shows a hand when you point at it. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.2

  • New Account → Your data: “Unfollow all stores” for a fresh start. Nothing is deleted: follow a store again and its scans are back. · Dashboard
  • New Add stores tells you what is already known about a store: how many other people follow it and since when there is data (its history comes along). · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved A store you unfollow keeps its history: whoever follows it again (you or someone else) gets all known scans right away, not only the latest one. Removing many stores at once keeps their scans too. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Stop scan works right away: a running Shopify scan now stops between two pages of a store, instead of finishing every store it had started. · Extension
  • Improved Stopping a scan from trendforge.nl also cancels a scan your extension had not started yet, and the Stop button never stays stuck on “Stopping…”. · Dashboard
  • Improved Fresh ad counts measured by other TrendForge users are picked up again during scans (they were skipped). · Extension

6.17.1

  • New Risers → Choose a period: a new calendar with time picker. Days with scans are marked, and each day shows its scan runs as time buttons (with the number of stores), plus quick picks like “Since the last scan run” and “Last 7 days”. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved Scans of other TrendForge users who follow the same store are kept next to your own: the Scalers calendar gets more scan days instead of replacing yours. · Extension
  • Improved Scalers explains what new and small stores are, and that the scan days include shared scans of other users. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Settings: the dropdown is in the sidebar, the dashboard keeps the row of sections. · Extension
  • UI The buttons above the Risers list look like the other buttons again. · Extension + dashboard

6.17.0

  • New 🔥 Scalers: a new main tab to find the products your competitors are scaling. Pick two scan days on a calendar (or “Since my last scan”, 3, 7 or 14 days) and see what climbed the best-selling list in between, e.g. #400 → #4. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Scalers shows per product the Winner score for that period, the places gained and the speed per day, the 3 strongest climbers on top, and add-to-sheet (📗) and Market check (🎯) buttons. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Notes on every climber: launched in this period, new product, older product suddenly climbing, first sales, top 10 now, and a warning for new or small stores (take it with a grain of salt). · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved The calendar shows how many stores were scanned each day and how reliable the comparison is; climbers from outside the top 500 never get an overstated jump. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI The tab bar moves to its own row on smaller screens, so the header buttons always fit. · Extension + dashboard

6.16.2

  • Security Invoice emails with the PDF are sent again (the PDF failed on the live server). · Dashboard
  • New TrendForge Discord: join it from the dashboard, the extension settings, the setup guide and the new Support page. · Extension + dashboard
  • New A setup guide right after you sign up: install and log in, Apify or browser scanning ($5 free Apify credit a month per account, link several), follow stores, product sheet and alerts. · Dashboard
  • Improved Clear choice when you pay: once with iDEAL or Bancontact (a one-time payment, never renewed) or a subscription with credit card (renews until you cancel). Paying once now works for every plan. · Dashboard
  • Improved Invoices: A4 portrait with the TrendForge logo and a clearer layout. TrendForge is the trade name. · Dashboard
  • UI Settings: one dropdown to open a section (grouped) next to the search box, instead of a long row of buttons. · Extension
  • UI Product research sheet settings use the full width, and the column cards fit on every screen. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Home page: example alerts no longer cover the screenshot, a Support & Discord button, and what makes TrendForge different from ad-spy tools. · Dashboard

6.16.1

  • Security An invoice number is never given twice, also when an account is deleted. Deleting an account keeps its invoices on an anonymous record. · Dashboard
  • Security The whole site always runs over HTTPS. · Dashboard
  • New Pay a year once with iDEAL, Bancontact or card: no automatic renewal, with a reminder email 14 and 3 days before it ends. · Dashboard
  • New Delete your own account in Account → Your data. · Dashboard
  • New Your own account ID on the account page and on every invoice, and a note field that is printed on your invoices. · Dashboard
  • New Contact & support page: one email address, fast answers. · Dashboard
  • New A refused payment now tells you why (e.g. not enough balance, card expired, canceled) and what to do. · Dashboard
  • Improved All prices include 21% Dutch VAT, shown clearly on the site and on every invoice. Invoice numbers now look like TF-2026-10-0001. · Dashboard

  • Improved After confirming your email address you see that it worked. · Dashboard
  • Improved Invoices always open, also when the PDF cannot be made (a printable page instead). · Dashboard
  • UI New pricing page with a calculator that shows what TrendForge saves you. · Dashboard
  • UI Confetti when your subscription starts 🎉, and livelier emails with the TrendForge look. · Dashboard
  • UI Home page: example alerts pop up over the dashboard, and new screenshots. · Dashboard
  • UI Countries with flags, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany on top. · Dashboard

6.16.0

  • New Product research sheet: connect your Google Sheet step by step, choose the tab and the header row, and link every column yourself (name, link, reason, market, research method, status, automatic number, date, store, price, Ad Library, photo). · Extension + dashboard
  • New Add a product to your sheet from the dashboard’s Products tab (📗), not only from the product page. · Extension + dashboard
  • New Fixed values for new products: your research method and status (dropdowns in your sheet are respected), in the first empty row or below the last one. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved The sheet script reads its own spreadsheet: no sheet link needed any more. Most columns are recognised from their names. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Home page: the last section shows again. · Dashboard

6.15.0

  • Security Auto-follow only follows a site with a Shopify meta.json or Storefront access; visited websites are no longer written to the scan log. · Extension
  • Security Scans you start on trendforge.nl run in your own extension, so the website stays fast for everyone. · Dashboard
  • New Import stores from Excel or CSV in the extension too (the file is read on your own computer). · Extension + dashboard

  • Improved Setup guide: every feature and option is in it. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI A clearer changelog: filter on extension or dashboard, a timeline and a version list. · Dashboard
  • UI Vendor spy: Find shop shows its answer in the row itself, also when no shop is found. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Settings: search and a "jump to" row for every section. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI Apps & pixels: an icon per group. · Extension + dashboard
  • UI A livelier home page, a fun 404 page and a logo that works on the dark site. · Dashboard

6.14.2

  • Security Auto-follow only adds a website when it is certainly a Shopify store. Websites it added by mistake are removed again by themselves. · Extension
  • New Active Ads: hover the number to see the active ads of the last 14 days, per day. · Extension
  • New This changelog. · Extension + dashboard
  • Improved A store you follow under one of its domains (shop.com) is recognised under its other domains too (shop.nl, www., its Shopify name). · Extension

  • Improved Ships to: also read from the store's shipping policy and couriers (e.g. Canada Post), checked weekly. · Extension
