Support our work with Tornevall Tools

Tornevall Tools is growing with DNS tools, fact checking, OpenAI-powered services, and upcoming Microsoft Copilot-based features.

Keeping the platform running costs money. Hosting, servers, maintenance, development, and AI usage all add up over time.

If you want to help keep Tornevall Tools available, stable, and improving, you can support the project here:

Ko-fi is especially useful for ongoing support. Memberships and subscriptions help cover recurring costs and make it easier to keep paid or resource-heavy features available over time.

Thank you for helping keep Tornevall Tools running and improving.

DNSBL cloudflare turnstile fixed

We’ve been using turnstile for a while, with the DNSBL, to protect against spam. That turnstile was broken. It has now been fixed and released to the official DNSBL package at wordpress.

SocialGPT 1.2.19: clearer verifications, saved fact cards, and better debugging

SocialGPT 1.2.19 makes fact verifications easier to review, easier to share, and much less frustrating when something is slow or behaving strangely.

This update mainly focuses on three things:

  1. better control over Verify fact
  2. saved verifications you can reopen later
  3. clearer visibility when you want to understand what is happening in the background

What’s new?

Fact verifications are now saved automatically

When a verification succeeds, it is now saved as a real fact card in your Tools account. That means you no longer have to run the same check again just because you want to read the result later.

This makes it easier to:

  • go back to an earlier verification
  • review the sources at your own pace
  • compare multiple verifications over time
  • share a saved result afterwards

Share links for saved verifications

Saved fact cards can now get a public share link. In practice, this means you can run a verification once, save the result, and then open or share that same version again without having to run it again.

This is especially useful when you want to:

  • show a finished verification result to someone else
  • save a reference to an important check
  • reuse the same result in follow-ups or documentation

Fact cards now have a better reading format

Saved verification cards are now shown in a more editorial and readable format instead of feeling like a raw text dump.

Markdown is also supported better, which makes headings, lists, links, and simple structure much clearer when a card is reopened or shared publicly.

In short: results now feel more like finished articles and less like internal debug text.

New discreet debug panel in verification view

If you want to understand why a verification is taking time or acting strangely, there is now a small dbg opener directly inside the verification box.

It shows things like:

  • which phase the verification is in
  • how long different parts take
  • request token and timeout
  • transport details between the extension and Tools
  • a compact preview of the response or error

This is mainly for troubleshooting and follow-up, without making the normal verification UI noisy for everyone else.

Verify fact timeout behaves better

A slow or stuck verification should no longer keep counting forever without actually ending.

In 1.2.19, the verification flow now uses the same timeout logic as the other AI calls in the toolbox. That makes stuck verifications easier to catch and makes it clearer when a response is simply not coming back.

The debug panel is easier to use

The new debug panel also received important usability fixes:

  • it can be opened without getting caught by the drag behavior of the box
  • it has its own scroll when the information gets long
  • the content is easier to read and copy

For people using Facebook admin and review workflows

This release also continues improving visibility in Facebook-related workflows.

Among other things, the admin overlay is clearer with:

  • visible queue and dedupe status directly in the panel
  • better presentation of the latest batch result
  • clearer marking when scrolling has reached content that is already known or already sent

That makes it easier to see what is actually happening without having to guess.

Short summary

SocialGPT 1.2.19 makes Verify fact more practical in day-to-day use:

  • verifications can be saved and reopened
  • saved results can be shared
  • fact cards are easier to read
  • timeout behavior is better
  • there is now a built-in debug surface for people who need more insight

This release is mainly about improving the workflow after the verification itself — not just the answer you get, but how easy it is to understand, save, reuse, and troubleshoot it.

Restored site from yesterday

An internal incident recently affected parts of the platform and interrupted some normal account and data flows. This was not an external hack, but a recovery situation tied to internal automation and backup handling. A large part of the service is already back online, but some older data still has to be rebuilt carefully before everything can be treated as fully restored again.

For some users, that may mean reconnecting credentials, resetting passwords, or recreating specific tokens instead of expecting every older connection to return automatically. The recovery work is continuing, and the goal is to restore access safely without reintroducing broken or uncertain data. At the same time, development has not stopped completely around SocialGPT, and new features are still planned once the current stabilization work is in a better place.
