v 1.1

18 Feburary 2026

Rendering and responsive improvements

This version includes an overhaul of the rendering pipeline for page blocks and navigation, as well as preview for responsive design directly in the editor.

Highlights

  1. All blocks are now rendered on the server instead of the client device, which leads to huge performance benefits across both the editor and frontend due to lower payload size and faster page rendering.

  2. Editor view now allows preview for responsive viewports directly inside the editor.

  3. 'Simple Text' block now features text-width options, users are able to toggle between 'Fill' (100% text width) or 'Relative' (custom text width sizing)

v 1.0

19 December 2025

Version 1.0 marks the official public launch of Sameness.

The first platform that lets designers and teams build living, editable brand guidelines entirely inside WordPress.

This release delivers everything needed to turn static PDF guidelines into dynamic brand systems: a drag-and-drop page builder, a global styles engine, font and navigation managers, and a library of over twenty-five modular blocks.

Built on a self-hosted foundation, it puts brands back in control of their data, design, and workflow — no subscriptions, no limitations, just full ownership from day one.

Highlights

  1. Page Builder: Create, duplicate, and password-protect pages.

  2. Navigation Setup: Reorder and customize navigation.

  3. Font Manager: Upload and apply your own fonts (TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2, EOT).

  4. Global Styles Engine: Define site-wide typography, colors and UI elements.

  5. Guideline Block Library: Over 25 pre-built, modular block sections.

  6. Responsive Design: Optimized layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile.

  7. License Activation: Secure, one-time setup for instant access.

  8. Self-Hosted & Data-Owned: Your brand lives where it should, with you.
