Leapsome
Leapsome's feed keeps filling with hiring guides, not release notes.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Deputy and Reactive Resume — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Deputy is hardening pay-data permissions while Australian super rules claim release slots.
Deputy's recent work splits between access control and Australian payroll compliance. A rebuilt access-level system in late April introduced custom roles with finer-grained control over what people can see and do, followed in June by permissions that restrict visibility of pay rates and labour costs. July's release adapted Deputy Payroll to PayDay Super, the Australian employer reporting requirement. Scheduling picked up one visible change: the open/empty shift row can be pinned while managers scroll.
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.

Scheduling picked up one visible change: the open/empty shift row can be pinned while managers scroll.
Permissions are the throughline — custom roles first, then sensitive pay data placed behind them — which is the shape of a product answering harder questions from larger, multi-site customers. Compliance work anchors Deputy to the Australian market its payroll product serves, and that regulatory calendar will keep taking release capacity. Scheduling itself, the core surface, is getting refinement rather than rethinking. The feed also carries the same release twice under slightly different titles, so apparent cadence runs ahead of actual shipping.
Expect further permission scoping across cost and pay surfaces, and follow-up work as PayDay Super reporting beds in. The entries show nothing about roadmap outside Australia and scheduling.
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.
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.
A mobile release or a tagged app version is the likely next visible step, but the entries give no date or scope for it.
