Marketing Redesign & Research

New Features

  • Research Section: A new research section presenting the Refactron comparison study, with an academic-paper-style page layout.

  • Hero Research Pill: An inline announcement pill in the hero links straight to the latest comparison paper.

Improvements

  • Marketing Redesign: The marketing pages were refreshed, with LLM/AI-SEO work — an llms.txt index and structured content so AI crawlers can read the site.

April 2026
new

Blog Launch

New Features

  • Blog: A full blog at /blog — a post system with build-time pre-rendering and automated sitemap generation.

  • Launch Posts: First posts published: a local-first architecture deep-dive and the Refactron npm package announcement.

Bug Fixes

  • Routing & Sitemap: Legacy /case-studies URLs now redirect, and sitemap route coverage was corrected (a phantom /pricing route removed).

Status Page, Changelog Tabs & Book a Demo

New Features

  • Status Page: A public status page for service health, with a status badge in the site footer.

  • Changelog Tabs: The /changelog page split into Web App and CLI Package tabs so each release stream has its own timeline.

  • Book a Demo: A "Book a Demo" call-to-action for teams evaluating Refactron.

Team Management, Notifications & Plan Gating

New Features

  • Team Dashboard: Enterprise users get a full team management UI — invite members, assign roles (owner / admin / member), view join history, and manage team API keys.

  • Notification Drawer: Full-height slide-in notification panel with filter tabs (All / Unread / Team / Billing), date grouping, per-notification mark-read and delete, bulk clear, and paginated load-more.

  • Activity Heatmap & Audit Logs: GitHub-style 30-day activity grid for team events. Paginated audit log of all team actions — invites, role changes, and member removals — with actor and timestamp.

  • LLM Plan Gating: Free-tier users are blocked from LLM endpoints at the API level. Pro and Enterprise plans retain full LLM access. Plan descriptions updated across Billing, Onboarding, and Pricing pages.

  • Per-member Usage Analytics: Tab-based usage breakdown per team member — token counts, cost, request counts, avg tokens per request, and per-model / per-operation breakdown.

Bug Fixes

  • Re-invite after Decline: Re-inviting someone who declined no longer falsely returns "pending invite already exists".

  • OAuth Callback Hook: Fixed missing dependency in useEffect inside OAuthCallback that could cause stale closure on token refresh.

Changelog, Security Page & Account Settings

New Features

  • Changelog Page: Public /changelog page tracking all CLI and web app releases — version badges, sections per release type, and collapsible housekeeping sections.

  • Security Page: Dedicated /security page covering responsible disclosure, data handling, and infrastructure security posture.

  • Account Settings: Users can update their display name, email, and password directly from the dashboard without going through onboarding.

  • Dashboard Onboarding Timeline: Redesigned welcome screen with a step-by-step onboarding timeline — install CLI → authenticate → generate API key → connect GitHub → connect repository.

Dodo Payments & Billing Overhaul

New Features

  • Dodo Payments Integration: Replaced Stripe with Dodo Payments for checkout and subscription management. Billing history, plan status, and upgrade flows all updated.

  • Onboarding → Checkout Flow: Selecting a paid plan during onboarding now redirects directly to a Dodo checkout session. Free plan completes onboarding immediately.

December 2025

OAuth Device Flow & CLI Authentication

New Features

  • CLI Device Flow: Authenticate the Refactron CLI from the terminal — the app generates a short-lived code the user approves in the browser. Full device-connect UI with polling and confirmation.

  • Organization Settings: Set your organization name, manage account settings, and configure your workspace slug from the dashboard.

  • Repository Browser: View and manage connected GitHub repositories directly from the dashboard with a repository selection UI.

Bug Fixes

  • Auth State Persistence: Fixed dashboard flash on reload and kept user state consistent after login, profile save, and OAuth callback.

  • GitHub Connect Glitch: Fixed a UI glitch in the GitHub connection flow that caused the connect button to flicker on state change.
