What we shipped

One entry per week. What's new, what changed, and what we learned.

v0.13.0 — Self-serve closure: onboarding wizard & in-app upgrade

18 June 2026

Four-step welcome wizard on first login: connect Stripe → set up sender domain → done. No more friction at the door.
Compact bottom-right checklist shows the remaining setup steps and disappears once everything's wired.
PRO plan (€49/month) is now bookable in-app — Stripe Checkout runs inline, ongoing billing goes through the customer portal.
Local sync endpoint fetches subscription state straight from Stripe when webhooks don't reach you — no more "I upgraded but still see Free."

18 June 2026

Consistent risk badges (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/CRITICAL) on one unified palette — Apple-strict black/white/accent, no rainbow warnings.
Invoice side panel now splits into four tabs: Detail / Plans / Score / History, each with a live indicator (dot on Score, count chips on Plans and History).
Activity feed shows the last 15 audit events with human-readable labels — what's happening in your account, right now.
Paused-debtor badge surfaces in the invoices table whenever automation is suspended for a customer.
WhatsApp, SMS, email, voice, and letter all dispatch from one menu — the button text and icon update to match the channel you pick.

14 June 2026

Hit Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K) — a quick-search palette opens. Navigation, settings, account actions, all keyboard-driven.
When no static action matches, the palette routes your query to the kvit AI ("Ask kvit:") and returns a short answer inline.
Hidden until invoked — true to our principle: quiet on the happy path, there when you need it.

14 June 2026

Pre-approve per-invoice payment plans (e.g. two instalments every 14 days) that your customers can pick themselves from the portal.
Pay-in-full continues to use the Stripe hosted link; picking instalments triggers a manual follow-up notification to your team.
Stays inside RDG boundaries: a fixed menu of options, no AI dialogue, no negotiation.

14 June 2026

New Settings → Email tab. Add your domain, copy the DKIM TXT record and Return-Path CNAME into your DNS, hit Verify — and reminders now go out from `<you>@yourcompany.de` instead of from us. Customers see you, not kvit.
DNS records are fetched live from Postmark on every render — regenerate DKIM there and we always show the current record set.
One-shot setup. Until verified, we keep sending via the kvit default. Pause / resume and the audit log keep working unchanged.

14 June 2026

Every payment link now lets the debtor raise a dispute in one click — give the reason, hit submit, kvit stops reminders for that invoice while you investigate.
A dispute writes an audit-log row and pauses the entire nudge cadence for that debtor — same pause mechanism your team uses manually.
Idempotent: revisiting the link after disputing shows "dispute already raised" — no double-fire.

14 June 2026

When a debtor replies to one of your reminders, kvit pauses the cadence automatically. No more "oh no, we kept emailing while they were already in a conversation."
The reply itself goes to the address you configured — kvit doesn't read or store the body. We only record "they replied" and pause the cadence.
Safety rule: if you've already manually paused that debtor, we don't overwrite your paused-by or pause reason.

21 May 2026

New invoices appear in the dashboard within a second of being created, without you having to refresh.
Subtle highlight on each newly-arriving row — a brief accent tint that fades to transparent over 2 seconds.
Server-Sent Events replaces polling — the browser keeps one open connection, the server only sends updates when something actually changes. Lower network load, faster updates.
Five concurrent live streams cap per team (DoS guard); every connection open and close lands in the tamper-evident audit log.

21 May 2026

New invoices table on the dashboard — every invoice synced from Stripe, with customer name, amount, status, and due date.
Status badges for the six invoice states (Open, Overdue, Paid, Cancelled, Escalated, Resolved) with distinct tones.
Direct "View in Stripe" link for every invoice that carries a hosted-invoice URL.
Empty state with a clear hint: "The 90-day backfill runs in the background — give it a moment."

20 May 2026

Stripe webhooks live — kvit receives invoice and customer events straight from your Stripe account, signature-verified.
Initial 90-day backfill — connecting Stripe automatically pulls every open invoice from the last 90 days as a background job.
Read-only Stripe client — even though OAuth grants write scope, the type system makes it impossible for kvit to charge, refund, or modify anything. Compile-time guarantee, not just a promise.
Webhook idempotency — every Stripe event lands in the tamper-evident audit log; duplicate deliveries are acked without re-processing.

20 May 2026

Customers can connect Stripe via OAuth — access token stored encrypted under a Stripe-specific key.
Dashboard shows connected state with Stripe account ID + live/test mode badge.

19 May 2026

WorkOS sign-in shipped — Google, Microsoft, and email magic-link available.
Session cookies HttpOnly + SameSite=Lax — JWT never reaches client JavaScript.
Host split: `app.getkvit.de` for authenticated surfaces, `www.getkvit.de` for marketing.
Production domain `getkvit.de` live with SSL.
