LowFruits' feed is a beginner SEO blog, not a product changelog.
LowFruits is a keyword-research tool that surfaces low-competition search terms, but the tracked feed is its educational blog. Every recent entry is an evergreen SEO tutorial — beginner keyword research, silo structure, finding low-competition keywords, SEO KPIs — written to attract the tool's target user. No product releases appear.
SocialBee retires category sequencing and Next Posts in its first product change in months.
After a summer of fixes for Threads, Pinterest and TikTok posting failures, SocialBee announced a scheduling overhaul rolling out over the coming weeks. Category Sequence and Random categories are being replaced by active categories, and the Next Posts view is being folded into Calendar and List views. A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.

Every recent entry is an evergreen SEO tutorial — beginner keyword research, silo structure, finding low-competition keywords, SEO KPIs — written to attract the tool's target user. No product releases appear.
The cadence is slow and topical (roughly monthly), aimed at ranking for the same low-competition long-tail terms the product helps users find — the content is itself a demonstration of the method. There is no product-development signal here; the arc is organic-search acquisition.
Expect more beginner-to-intermediate SEO guides on the same infrequent rhythm. Nothing in these entries points to a product change.

A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.
SocialBee is simplifying its category-based scheduling model rather than adding to it, consolidating views and removing modes. The promised biweekly, monthly and yearly recurrence suggests scheduling moves toward calendar-style rules instead of category queues.
Expect the recurring-schedule options announced for later this quarter to ship next; the entries don't show anything beyond scheduling.
