Deel vs Reactive Resume: at a glance
What is Deel?
Deel's public changelog went dark in late September 2025; the visible feed is now all stale.
Deel ended its public changelog blog on September 30, 2025, with a notice that all product news would move inside the product itself. The recent visible items, all from August and September 2025, were spread across Deel's portfolio: Deel IT APIs and webhooks v1 for device management, U.S. GAAP rental-term alignment for IT invoicing, Talent's briefing-call scheduling on job requests, a payroll tax-file-transfer dashboard for Deel Payroll US, and Astropay local-currency payouts for LATAM contractors. Nothing newer than that surfaces here.
What is Reactive Resume?
Reactive Resume's recent releases are build plumbing for a coming native mobile app.
Reactive Resume's last four releases carry no user-facing change. Two are prebuilt native binaries for a component called Forme with a note to commit them before building mobile apps, one is a CI fix for the Android SDK package name, and one documents cover-letter PDF rendering and DOCX export.

Deel's public changelog went dark in late September 2025; the visible feed is now all stale.
◆ Current state
Deel ended its public changelog blog on September 30, 2025, with a notice that all product news would move inside the product itself. The recent visible items, all from August and September 2025, were spread across Deel's portfolio: Deel IT APIs and webhooks v1 for device management, U.S. GAAP rental-term alignment for IT invoicing, Talent's briefing-call scheduling on job requests, a payroll tax-file-transfer dashboard for Deel Payroll US, and Astropay local-currency payouts for LATAM contractors. Nothing newer than that surfaces here.
◆ Where it's heading
What's visible is the trajectory of a feed that went dark, not the product's. Through summer 2025, Deel was actively shipping across IT, Talent, Payroll, and Contractor surfaces — clearly trying to be the all-in-one workforce stack rather than just an EOR. Without an in-product crawl or alternative source, there is no external signal about what has shipped from October onward, which is a real gap for any outside observer.
◆ Prediction
Deel is presumably still shipping at the August 2025 cadence inside the product, but external aggregators will need to source signal differently — Deel's marketing blog, partner announcements, or in-product changelog content if it can be reached. Expect continued breadth across the workforce stack (IT, Payroll, Talent, Contractors) rather than depth on any single surface, based on the pattern visible before the feed went silent.
Reactive Resume's recent releases are build plumbing for a coming native mobile app.
◆ Current state
Reactive Resume's last four releases carry no user-facing change. Two are prebuilt native binaries for a component called Forme with a note to commit them before building mobile apps, one is a CI fix for the Android SDK package name, and one documents cover-letter PDF rendering and DOCX export.
◆ Where it's heading
The Android CI fix and the native binaries point at a mobile build being wired up alongside the web app. The docs entry suggests cover letters and DOCX export already exist and are now being documented.
◆ Prediction
A mobile release or a tagged app version is the likely next visible step, but the entries give no date or scope for it.
