Release Notes: Public Trees, Cleaner Articles, and AI Credit Top-Ups
DocTree's latest release makes the learning workspace easier to explore, easier to share, and more predictable during longer AI-assisted study sessions. You can now discover public learning trees more comfortably, read generated articles with cleaner structure, and manage extra AI credits when your learning work needs more room.
Highlights
- Public Trees is now a fuller discovery experience, with search, sorting, pagination, author details, and clearer empty states.
- Generated articles are easier to scan, with cleaner headings and a stored table of contents.
- AI credit usage is more transparent, with plan allowances, purchased credits, and model-weighted usage shown more clearly.
- Podcast, quiz, flashcard, resource, summary, note, and chat surfaces are easier to reach from the article view.
- The tree workspace is smoother during frequent updates, with layout logic and selection states tightened up.
What is new
A better way to explore public trees
Public Trees is now built for larger shared collections. You can search public learning trees by topic, switch between popular and newest sorting, and move through results with pagination instead of scanning one long list.
Public tree cards also show author information where available, making shared learning material feel less anonymous. When a search has no results, the page now gives clearer feedback and points users back to the dashboard so they can publish their own tree.
This turns public sharing into a more useful discovery loop: create a tree, publish it, and make it easier for others to find and learn from it.
Cleaner generated articles
Generated articles now have more consistent heading structure. DocTree normalizes article headings, removes visible generated table-of-contents blocks, and stores clean table-of-contents items with the document.
For learners, that means articles are easier to scan and navigate. Instead of wrestling with inconsistent headings or duplicate contents sections, you get a more polished reading experience that better supports deep study.
The article pages also include structured article data, helping public learning content be easier for search engines to understand without changing the way users read the page.
More control over AI credits
DocTree now supports AI credit top-ups through Stripe. If you need more AI usage beyond your plan allowance, you can buy extra credits and see how many purchased credits remain.
Credit tracking is also more precise. Different AI models can consume credits at different rates, and usage now accounts for those differences. The settings view shows your used credits, total available credits, base plan allowance, purchased credits, and reset timing where applicable.
This makes AI usage easier to understand before you generate another article, quiz, podcast, or learning resource.
Richer learning sessions inside articles
The article view now brings more learning tools into one place. Depending on what has been generated for a document, you can access summaries, podcasts, quizzes, flashcards, resources, notes, and chat from the reading experience.
Podcast playback has also been improved with controls for progress, speed, volume, transcript navigation, and downloading. That makes generated audio easier to use as part of a study session, not just as a one-off output.
Clearer product story
DocTree now has an Our Mission page that explains the product's core promise: turning curiosity into clarity. Navigation has been adjusted so the mission is easier to find, and social sharing visuals, app icons, and manifest support have been updated for a more complete public presence.
Why it matters
This release strengthens the loop at the center of DocTree: ask a question, turn it into a structured learning tree, deepen it with AI-generated study material, and share the result publicly.
For users, the product feels more navigable and more dependable. Public trees are easier to browse. Articles are easier to read. Credit usage is easier to understand. Learning tools are closer to the content they support.
For the business, this release adds important product maturity: clearer public discovery, stronger sharing surfaces, better AI usage controls, and a more complete pricing and credit foundation.
Smoother experience
Several smaller improvements make DocTree feel steadier during day-to-day use:
- Tree layout logic has been separated into clearer modules, making the canvas easier to maintain and improve.
- Frequent workspace updates are handled more smoothly.
- Selected topic borders and note selection behavior have been tightened up.
- Toasts and alerts are more consistent across the app.
- Dashboard browsing now has pagination and clearer error handling.
- Public tree updates and previews refresh more reliably after changes.
- Navigation styling and active-route behavior have been refined.
Together, these changes make DocTree feel less like a collection of separate AI tools and more like a connected learning workspace: one place to explore ideas, turn them into structured knowledge, and share what you understand.
