    <p>
      Kareer is a Kirigami application for tracking job applications from
      first contact through to an offer. It records the details that matter -
      company, title, salary range and expectations, source, and dates - and
      every stage change is kept as history.
    </p>
    <p>
      A Sankey diagram visualizes the whole pipeline at a glance, showing
      where applications progress and where they drop off between stages
      such as Applied, Screening, Interview and Offer.
    </p>
    <p>
      Every action is also available from the command line, so applications
      can be logged automatically by other tools (for example a resume
      generator) without opening the GUI.
    </p>

  <releases>
    <release version="0.1.5" date="2026-09-11">
      <description>
        <ul>
          <li>Edit an application's full stage history, with a date for each step, so an application you log after the fact keeps its whole path (for example applied, interviewed, rejected)</li>
          <li>Add a history command to show or replace a stage history from the command line</li>
          <li>Mark applications with no response as Ghosted after 30 days, adjustable or off in Preferences</li>
          <li>New app icon, now installed under the app ID so launchers and the Flatpak show it</li>
          <li>Fix the Add Application form filling empty fields with the word "undefined"</li>
        </ul>
      </description>
    </release>
    <release version="0.1.4" date="2026-09-11">
      <description>
        <ul>
          <li>Fix Save on the edit form silently dropping stage changes, and report missing company or title</li>
          <li>Rework the pipeline diagram so drop-offs split off each stage and rejoin their outcome without braiding</li>
          <li>Count each application once in the pipeline, so moving back a stage or being ghosted then rejected no longer draws extra ribbons</li>
          <li>Choose where the database lives on first run: the default location, a folder of your choice, or an existing database</li>
          <li>Move, open or reset the database location from Preferences</li>
          <li>Add a --db option to use a specific database file from the command line or the GUI</li>
        </ul>

          <li>Order ribbons at each stage to stop them braiding over each other</li>
          <li>Canonicalize stage names written via the CLI (e.g. "rejected" now maps to "Rejected") and repair existing databases</li>
          <li>Debounce window-resize relayouts and stop re-reading the database on resize</li>
        </ul>
