Changelog

What has shipped, in the order it shipped. Dates are when the change went live.

TrackCDC is pre-1.0 — the data model may still change between releases.

0.7 · Multi-Offer Decision Matrix

  • Multi-Offer Decision Matrix: automated side-by-side comparison of tracked applications across CTC, stipend, bond, eligibility, status, and schedule — with a per-factor winner highlight and an overall recommended pick.
  • Showcase mode is reachable again: a one-click "Showcase" link in the navbar signs you in with sample data and drops you straight into the dashboard, no sign-up.
  • 'Yet to Apply' status: track a drive before you've applied, with its own tracker column and status color; the CDC mail parser now defaults new drives to it unless an OA is already scheduled.
  • Resume import: upload a PDF or paste raw text to auto-fill your profile — university, work experience, and technical skills are extracted and merged in with a review step before anything is applied.
  • SEO metadata, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml, so public pages are indexable while the dashboard and API stay blocked from crawlers.

0.6 · CTC In-hand Salary Deconstructor

  • CTC In-hand Salary Deconstructor: break down inflated campus packages into real monthly bank credit, first-year cash, and stock vesting.
  • Indian New Tax Regime engine: computes estimated monthly TDS taxes (including standard deduction and 87A rebate) plus EPF contributions.
  • Visual composition bar: color-coded distribution of Base Pay, Joining Bonus, RSUs, Variable Pay, and Retirals.
  • Industry presets: 1-click baseline models for Tier-1 Big Tech, High-Growth Startups, IT Services, and Quant/Finance.
  • Direct Application Drawer integration: view monthly in-hand take-home and customize breakdown per tracked drive.

0.5 · Sign in with Google or GitHub

  • Passwords are gone. Sign-in is delegated to Google and GitHub, so TrackCDC never handles one.
  • Every account now has a provider-verified email address — no more signing up as asdf@asdf.com.
  • Signing in with a second provider joins your existing account, but only when that provider confirms the address is verified.
  • New accounts land on Profile instead of the dashboard, since eligibility and the cheat-sheet both read from it.
  • Privacy, Terms and Data & security rewritten again to match.

0.4 · Accounts and a real backend

  • Real accounts: sign up with a password, hashed with scrypt and never stored in plain text.
  • Workspaces now live in MongoDB, so your data follows you between devices instead of living in one browser.
  • Sessions are signed httpOnly cookies; workspace requests are authorised from the cookie, not from anything the page sends.
  • New accounts start empty — sample drives belong to the showcase tour and are no longer copied into real workspaces.
  • Preview passcode screen while the site is unfinished.
  • Privacy, Terms and Data & security rewritten to describe the server-backed system rather than the old browser-only one.

0.3 · Deep links and standalone pages

  • Footer Tools links now open the feature showcase on the specific feature, rather than pointing at pages that required a login.
  • Added campus and legal pages, reachable without an account.
  • Showcase mode: try the full dashboard with sample data straight from the navbar, no sign-up.

0.2 · Interface fixes

  • Fixed a navbar that rendered empty on browsers without full CSS mask-composite support — a decorative gradient border was painting over its own contents.
  • Replaced the hero's staggered field reveal with a static list; on a slow load the panel could appear blank for several seconds.
  • Anchor scrolling is now animated frame by frame instead of relying on native smooth-scroll, which Chromium silently disables when the OS animation setting is off.
  • Custom scrollbar, and the vault band is now a contained panel so the page edge stays light at every scroll position.
  • Feature previews stay vertically centred on the selected feature.

0.1 · First release

  • Unified application tracker, in table and kanban views, with a per-application question memory bank.
  • CDC announcement parser: extracts company, role, CTC, CGPA cutoff, backlog cap, branches, test slot and registration link from unstructured mail and WhatsApp forwards.
  • OA and interview scheduler with live countdowns.
  • Eligibility checker against a saved academic profile.
  • Document vault and one-click CDC cheat-sheet.
  • Roadmap section for features still being built.

In progress

  • AI Resume ATS Matcher & Keyword Gap Analysis: drive-specific ATS compatibility score and STAR-formula bullet generator.
  • Image / PDF Screenshot Announcement OCR Parser: multimodal ingestion of college circular PDFs and WhatsApp blast screenshots.
  • Company OA Pattern & Past Questions Bank: curated and batch-contributed past coding/aptitude questions across 150+ campus recruiters.
  • Practice for Tests & Interviews: timed OA drills with negative marking and structured 2-minute round rehearsals.
  • Batch Insights (Placement Pulse): anonymized CTC distributions, shortlist CGPA cutoffs, and turnaround stats.
  • Deadline Reminders & Calendar Sync: live Google Calendar/iCal .ics subscription feed and closing window alerts.
