Tell waiting-list mail the truth: on the Store, and not on sale - #54
Merged
Conversation
Three customer-facing strings in this file still described the world before
2026-09-08. Unlike the licence email, these are sending now: the
acknowledgement goes to every waiting-list sign-up, and DAWNLIST_FACTS bounds
a model that auto-answers waiting-list questions.
- The acknowledgement said "There is no date yet and nothing to download."
There is something to download: the Microsoft Store listing went live on
the 9th, free to install.
- The STATUS fact said Dawnlist "is IN DEVELOPMENT and is NOT available.
There is nothing to buy, nothing to download." Both halves false.
- The platform line said "for macOS and Windows". There is no macOS
edition anyone can obtain.
All three now say the two things together: it is on the Store and installs
free, AND it cannot be bought, because a licence is required and licences are
not on sale. Saying only the first sends somebody to install an application
that will ask for a key they cannot get.
Also carries two corrections made earlier and never committed: the published
$79 price, and removing a country count from the feed description.

The Mac App Store edition exists and has been submitted to Apple, so "no macOS edition" was false in three places: the acknowledgement emailed to every waiting-list sign-up, and two lines of DAWNLIST_FACTS, which bound the model that answers waiting-list questions. All three now say it has been submitted, is not on sale and has no date, and the facts forbid calling it approved or available. Deliberately not "and is in review": App Store Connect reads WAITING_FOR_REVIEW rather than IN_REVIEW, and "in review" was already false once, when the build was rejected on the 10th. "Submitted" stays true through review, rejection and resubmission, and goes stale only on release. Deployed ahead of review for the same reason as the last change here: this text steers a model that answers customers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paddle rejected dawnlist.spencerfields.com on 2026-09-11 under its Acceptable
Use Policy as "Advertising and Marketing/Job Boards". The waiting-list
acknowledgement and DAWNLIST_FACTS now match the site's new wording:
- status: subscriptions are not open yet; on the Microsoft Store, free to
install, needs a subscription to run; the Mac edition has been submitted
to Apple, with no date for either;
- the facts state that Dawnlist is software for individual job seekers, not
a job board, and that employers cannot post, pay for placement or
advertise through it;
- both "job-board account" phrasings are gone.
The rules never to promise a date and never to call the Mac edition approved
are kept. Deployed ahead of review: this text steers a model that answers
customers.

Found by applying a rule from the app session: a customer-facing sentence that lives in a script does not appear in any list of pages, so nothing was watching these.
Already deployed (version
9a6512f4), since the acknowledgement was emailing a false statement to every sign-up.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
