Changelog
A transparent record of our journey. Making Sangathan stronger with every release.
AI-Powered Intelligence — NVIDIA NIM Integrationv1.10.0
Six AI features powered by NVIDIA NIM (Llama 3 via OpenAI-compatible API) to help organizations work smarter. All features gracefully fall back when AI is disabled.
- AI Weekly Summary:Upgraded dashboard summary with richer stats — tickets, members, events, and polls. Generates a strategic 3-4 sentence briefing using Llama 3.3 70B.
- Social Content Generator:Draft social posts, newsletters, announcements, and reports from real org activity. Supports professional, casual, motivational, and formal tones.
- Meeting Minutes Automation:Paste meeting notes to get structured minutes with summary, key discussions, decisions, action items, and next steps. Optionally create tasks from action items.
- Form Response Analysis:Analyze form submissions for trends, patterns, and urgent flags. Automatically highlight submissions needing immediate attention.
- Smart Notifications:Personalized push notifications for tasks, events, meetings, milestones, and announcements — generated per member with context-aware messaging.
- Proposal & Policy Analyzer:Analyze proposals for readability, strengths, concerns, conflicts with existing polls, and community sentiment. Generate plain-language briefs for member voting.
Compliance Tracker — Real Certificate Managementv1.9.6
Replaced the static compliance checklist with a fully editable, database-backed Compliance Tracker. Each certification (12A, 80G, FCRA, Trade Union Registration, etc.) is now a real entity with document uploads, status tracking, and notes. The old page showed hardcoded statuses that never reflected actual progress — now everything is dynamic and editable by org admins.
- Org-Type-Specific Defaults:Each organisation type (NGO, RWA, Workers Union, Student Union) gets relevant compliance items pre-seeded — no more one-size-fits-all checklists.
- Document Upload & Storage:Upload PDFs and images for each compliance item. Documents are stored securely in org-specific folders with RLS policies.
- Editable Status & Notes:Admins can update status (Not Started → In Progress → Submitted → Approved/Rejected) and add notes for each requirement.
- Custom Requirements:Add, edit, or remove compliance items as needed. Organisations can track any certification or registration relevant to them.
Navigation Fixes & Build Optimizationv1.9.5
Fixed page interactivity and improved build performance by removing the experimental React Compiler, plus fixed sidebar navigation dropdowns requiring two clicks to expand.
- Build Speed Optimization:Removed the experimental React Compiler (babel-plugin-react-compiler) which was analysing all 108 page components, causing slow Vercel builds exceeding one minute and triggering hydration failures in client-side interactivity.
- Sidebar Toggle Fix:Fixed sidebar navigation dropdowns that required two clicks to expand — the toggle function was misreading initial collapsed state, causing the first click to appear to do nothing.
Dashboard UI Consistency Improvementsv1.9.4
Standardised page headings, wrappers, and colour tokens across 30+ dashboard pages for a cohesive, polished experience. Removed hardcoded slate colours in favour of CSS variable tokens, ensuring consistent light-mode presentation.
Dashboard Navigation and Loading Improvementsv1.9.3
Resolved an issue where the dashboard could enter an infinite loading state under certain redirection workflows, ensuring seamless onboarding and organization selection.
Razorpay Integration for Plans and Contributionsv1.9.2
Integrated Razorpay checkout to make our Institution and White-label plans directly purchasable, and added a dynamic amount input on the supporter page for custom contributions.
Interactive Feature Exploration Redesignv1.9.1
Redesigned the features page with a highly interactive, click-driven exploration dashboard, supporting both desktop split-pane and mobile accordion views for a premium look and feel.
Secondary Features (Facilities, Dispatch & IDs)v1.9
Completion of the Sangathan Phase 3 Roadmap. Bringing facility booking for RWAs, worker dispatch for Unions, and beautiful Digital ID cards for students.
- Facility Booking (RWA):Admins can list clubhouses or sports courts. Members can seamlessly request bookings, avoiding double-booking via smart date conflict checks.
- Worker Dispatch System:Workers unions can list open jobs from employers, and members can apply. Stewards can digitally dispatch workers directly from the dashboard.
- Digital ID Cards & Grant Tracking:Students get autogenerated secure Digital ID cards with QR codes. NGOs get upgraded Grant Tracking interfaces to move funds from Draft to Awarded.
Legal & Compliance Updatesv1.8.1
Updated our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Refund Policy with registered entity details to ensure transparency and compliance with standard payment gateways.
Core Union Features (Student & Workers)v1.8

Civic Infrastructure Phase 1 (NGO & RWA)v1.7
Rolled out critical infrastructure features for NGOs and Resident Welfare Associations to manage their finances and operations effectively.
- Tax Receipts & Subscriptions:NGOs can now generate compliant PDF tax receipts and track recurring donation subscriptions directly from the dashboard.
- Maintenance Billing:RWAs can easily track units and automatically generate maintenance invoices with due dates and overdue statuses.
- Visitor Management:Pre-approve guests, manage gate logs, and perform instant check-ins and check-outs for enhanced society security.
Authentication Overhaul & Typography Refinementv1.6
Completely redesigned the authentication flows with a crisp, geometric aesthetic, introduced Google and X logins, and applied a global typography refinement.
- Geometric Design System:Upgraded all pages to a unified, premium geometric design system, strictly removing outdated dark cards and AI-generated blobs.
- Typography Refinements:Adopted Outfit as the unified global font, carefully calibrating header line-heights across the platform for perfect crispness.
- Google & X OAuth:One-click login and signup using your existing Google or X accounts for frictionless onboarding.
