Findings / UX-004
The edition label is older than the articles under it
FixedMediumFailurenewsroom.sgit.ai
What we saw
The home page says "Edition of 2026-10-08" above ten articles dated 10 October. Still the case in v0.7.1, above articles from 10 and 11 October.
Why it matters
A front page that looks three days stale on the day it was published tells a reader the site is not kept.
The fix
Date the edition from the newest article at build time, or label it as the editor's pick of its date.
The record
| Status | Fixed. Fixed by v0.12.120: "Edition of 18 October 2026" above articles dated 18 October. Seen at iPad width, 18 Oct. |
| Severity | Medium |
| Kind | Failure: works against the reader |
| Product | newsroom.sgit.ai, site |
| Where | https://newsroom.sgit.ai/ |
| Problems | Stale claim |
| Visibility | Subtle: felt more than seen: it costs attention or trust, but is not noticed as a bug |
| Recommendation | Date the claim: generate or date every statement about now, and mark fixes with their version |
| Area | First visit |
| Breaks | What a page says about the present is true now |
| Observed | 2026-10-11, v0.6.4 |
