Welcome to the East Village Hub changelog - the official chronicle of our relentless tinkering. We update this place as often as a hyperactive barista pulls espresso shots. Fresh features, shiny improvements, occasional chaos, and the odd bug squished with righteous fury.
If you’re reading this whole page… respect. You’re one of the chosen ones.

About Us page added
At long last, a place where we get existential. Who are we? What do we do? Why do we exist? Is this all part of a simulation? Answers: yes, lots, and probably..svg)
Changelog page added
A whole new page dedicated to documenting every tweak, triumph, and tiny disaster - including this very moment you’re reading. The circle is complete. No mirrors within mirrors this time.
Lights, Camera, E20! page added
Did you see [insert celebrity] filming [insert blockbuster] in East Village? Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, you can now explore EV’s movie-making hotspots and pretend you’re in a director’s commentary.
Familia Roasters business page
A new coffee shop has opened near the DLR. Support your local caffeine dealers.
Improved
- Metadata We shoved metadata into every nook and cranny of our business listings. It’s basically SEO with a gym membership now.
- Search Powered up thanks to all that metadata. Try searching for “brunch” and watch it actually return brunch things. Witchcraft.
- Business Listings Listings now come with addresses and maps so you no longer need to wander East Village guided only by vibes.
Removed
- Hand Café RIP Hand Café. Gone, but not forgotten (mostly because we had to remove their page).
- El Cafecito Also closed. Also removed. The café Thanos snap continues.

If you run a group and want to wear the badge of honour, come talk to us.
