Changelog

Hub Upload — upload a full episode file directly through Short Shorts AI. Whisper transcribes it, Gemini writes the YouTube title, description, chapter timestamps, and first comment, then publishes in a single upload.

Premiere scheduling — set a future YouTube Premiere date from a timezone-aware slot picker with AI-suggested times based on your channel prime times

Phase progress dots — live pipeline progress shown in the dashboard: Downloading → Transcribing → Generating description → Uploading → Complete

Resume-on-retry — failed Hub uploads resume from the last completed phase (transcript, AI, or video ID preserved as checkpoints)

X cross-post from Hub Upload — optionally post a Gemini-generated tweet with YouTube link when your episode goes live

Show Notes reuses the stored Whisper transcript — no second transcription call, instant generation from any episode

US upload routing — uploads originate from Ashburn, Virginia, seeding Shorts to a US audience from the first impression

Settings → Upload tab with US routing toggle — one-click enable for US-targeted channels

Analytics nudge — automatically surfaces US routing suggestion when proxy is off and you have published content
