What's new.

Search and social discoverability. A full SEO pass gives every public page a canonical URL, social preview art, and structured data, making careers and articles eligible for Google Jobs and rich blog results. A premium AdminNavSlot seam lands in the admin layout, the dev/QA Toast catalog moves under the site-admin gate, and marketing badges are tidied. Next.js 15 · React 19 · Supabase · Konva · Yjs · Railway.

Added

• SEO & discoverability: site-wide default 1200×630 Open Graph image via the app/opengraph-image.png file convention, so every route without its own cover gets share art; metadataBase set so the image resolves to an absolute URL for crawlers, with Twitter reusing og:image via crawler fallback. Per-page Open Graph, Twitter cards, and canonical URL on every marketing page (about, articles, careers, changelog, contact, help, roadmap, what-is-lsp, privacy, terms, home).

• Structured data: Organization and WebSite JSON-LD site-wide, BlogPosting on articles, and JobPosting on careers postings; open roles are now Google Jobs eligible. New lib/seo module (site constants, a pageMetadata() helper, and JSON-LD builders) wired across the app, with unit tests on the JSON-LD output.

• Crawl control: app/sitemap.ts covering static marketing routes, published articles, and open roles, with dynamic fetches best-effort so they never 500 the static routes; robots.ts disallowing /app/, /share/, and /api/ and referencing the sitemap; noindex on the authed /app layout.

• Admin: AdminNavSlot premium seam in the admin layout (open-core stub and types), the extension point for hosted-only admin features.

Changed

• Toast harness: moved from the global /app/toast-test to /app/admin/toast-test under a new "UI Elements" section in the admin side-nav; it now inherits the site-admin gate, and the standalone header link was dropped.

• Marketing: SaaSHub badge swapped to the approved-colour variant.

BrickThink becomes a hosted product with a payment model. A full Stripe billing system gates the PDF session report, AI transcript cleanup, and a new white-label report pipeline across three cost-recovery tiers. Per-facilitator bring-your-own Anthropic keys are replaced by a single managed server key, user-facing "organisations" become "workshops", and articles move to sanitised HTML. Next.js 15 · React 19 · Supabase · Konva · Yjs · Railway.

Added

• Billing: three-tier catalog (session_report → client_ready → full_findings) with cumulative entitlements, each available as a one-off purchase or a monthly/yearly subscription. Session Report €9 / €29 mo / €290 yr, Client-Ready €45 / €119 / €1,190, Full Findings €60 / €159 / €1,590. Stripe SDK singleton, idempotent customer creation, Checkout and Customer Portal server actions, and a webhook that is the sole writer of entitlement state. Per-session unlock from the upgrade modal without subscribing; tier-aware upgrade and pricing-card modals.

• Billing tab: subscription card, billing history with invoices, monthly/yearly toggle, per-tier detail modal, cancel-at-period-end shown as a Cancelled pill with active-until date, and a re-activate path into the Customer Portal.

• White-label reports: brand_profiles table and brand-assets storage bucket with RLS; brand-preset CRUD with logo and font upload. Branding UI at /app/account/branding with a curated font catalog, hex-first colour picker, contrast-aware ink picker, and live preview. Branding-aware PDF pipeline, brand-preset picker, and a branding hub modal opened from the report button. Gated at the client_ready tier.

• Reports: full-width model cards with per-speaker transcripts.

• Sessions & navigation: SessionNavLink (a single link for one active session, a dropdown for many), surfaced to attendees and workshop members of a live session between Scenarios and Admin.

• Marketing: pricing tiers on the home page with clarified free-vs-paid copy; pricing page reframed around four hosted cost-recovery services; hero pause/play control respecting prefers-reduced-motion; footer split into "Featured on" press logos and "Launched on" directories; BetaList badge; refreshed FAQ.

Changed

• Monetisation stance: the 1.0.0 "free forever, no paid tier" position is superseded. The software stays free and open source (Apache 2.0) and self-hosting costs nothing; managed AI compute is now a paid, usage-billed option, and the hosted PDF session report, transcript cleanup, and white-label branding are entitlements rather than free downloads. This is the explicit reintroduction of a paid offering that the 1.0.0 Removed note committed to recording.

• Managed AI key: per-facilitator bring-your-own Anthropic keys replaced by a single managed server key (getServerAnthropicClient); reports and narration cleanup now run on it.

• Workshops rename: user-facing "organisations" renamed to workshops throughout; owner/member role pills coloured (blue owner, orange member).

• Articles / CMS: articles.body_markdown renamed to body_html with a WYSIWYG (TipTap) editor replacing the markdown textarea, server-side HTML sanitisation on store, a one-time markdown-to-HTML conversion, and author bylines driven from an ARTICLE_AUTHORS env map.

• Account area: tabbed Settings / Billing navigation moved into the page banner; bento-grid layout with a Contribute tile and tip jar.

• Narration: participant recorder reworked as a left slide-out drawer with auto-start for returning attendees and saved-text-on-stop; the facilitator live-transcript view was removed in favour of personal-only version saving.

• Self-host: with billing disabled there is no paywall (e2e-covered).

Removed

• Bring-your-own Anthropic key: user_integrations and org_integrations tables, the BYO-key settings card, and per-user key crypto helpers; BRICKTHINK_ENCRYPTION_KEY dropped.

• Free hosted report: the free PDF session report download removed from the hosted free tier. Self-host stays free.

Fixed

• Live transcript stopping after a few words; the recorder now mounts on non-live session canvases.

• Auth derives the public origin from x-forwarded-host so staging magic links resolve correctly.

• Report timestamp formatted after mount to avoid a hydration mismatch.

Infra

• CI db push --include-all so the out-of-order billing migration applies; dropped supabase from pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies. Careers CV-purge URL and secret read from Vault; site-admin allowlist bootstrapped via manual SQL.

The week of 1 June shipped three new surfaces and a major collaboration feature. A full careers section went live with public role listings, an application form with CV upload, and an admin inbox; a public changelog was added end to end, from an admin rich-text editor to a single-scrolling page with a footer version indicator; and a dismissible site-wide banner system now lets admins post announcements. The headline feature was voice narration — participants can narrate their models by voice, with transcripts cleaned up by Claude, shared with facilitators, and folded into the AI session report. The marketing site also picked up a reworked hero, event banners, and a wave of footer, social, and launch-badge additions.

Added

Careers — public listings + role detail pages, application form with CV upload, admin role CRUD + applications inbox

Changelog — admin rich-text editor, public scrolling page with per-entry banners, footer version indicator

Site banner — dismissible site-wide announcement system with admin editor

Voice narration — voice capture, Claude transcript cleanup, facilitator access, transcripts in the AI report

Sessions — session card thumbnails, "Create Example Model" relabel, live room-assignment refresh, reworked stage-card controls, spotlight any canvas anytime

Marketing — reworked hero, DACH event + "Featured on" banners, "Buy the Pieces" store link, expanded footer socials (X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Slack), launch badges (Uneed, TinyLaunch, SaaSHub, LaunchIgniter)

During the week of 25 May, all of the work landed in a single push on Sunday 31 May, delivering improvements across four areas. The headline was a revamped facilitator onboarding experience: a checklist that now appears on the session and org pages, paired with a guided spotlight tour that walks facilitators through creating a session and starting their first model. The CMS gained an editable published-date picker for articles, the builder now automatically captures design thumbnails as you edit (debounced to track your latest work), and the marketing site got a new phased roadmap page with a tidied-up footer.

Added

Onboarding — facilitator checklist + spotlight tour (the biggest theme)

• Facilitator checklist now shows on the session page and org pages, not just one surface

• Spotlight tour walking facilitators through the funnel: step 2 spotlights Create session, step 3 spotlights Start → Start your model

• A batch of fixes to keep the spotlight glued to its target button and scroll targets into view on step change

Articles / CMS — editable published date

• New published-date picker in the CMS editor (published rows only)

• Backed by updateArticleAction editing published_at, with pure date helpers and tests asserting an empty date is a no-op

Builder — design thumbnails

• Builder now captures a design thumbnail automatically — initially on leave, then refined to capture on a debounce during editing (tuned down to 600ms) so it tracks the latest work

Marketing — roadmap

• New roadmap page with a phased timeline

• Footer Roadmap link moved to the Company column; dropped the "on the roadmap" pill from the outputs card
