Changelog
What we shipped.
New every week. The status dot in the nav links here, so the shipping-weekly promise comes with receipts.
- New
Run the floor by talking
Ordering, receiving, customer orders, builds, and shipments now happen in the conversation. Say "order 20 maple decks from Custom Skateboards" and a real purchase order lands: the price comes from the supplier's catalog, the delivery date from their lead time. Say "the decks arrived", then "Board Barn wants 5 boards at $400, three weeks out", then "build 5 and ship them", and each becomes a real event on your board. The engine refuses what is physically impossible (you cannot build with parts you do not have) and Alan reports exactly what he could not do and why.
- New
Alan finds suppliers, with receipts
Start from an idea, or tell Alan you have no suppliers, and he researches real candidates: the company, their website, factory address, contact details, and the product page he found each part on. They land on your board as flagged proposals with the evidence attached, so you verify with a click and confirm or correct. Nothing lands silently.
- New
Tell Alan the fix, in plain language
Every guess Alan flags carries a Chat button. Type "switches are $0.32 each" or "it is 2 PCBs per board" and the board updates itself: prices, lead times, build routes, bills of materials.
- New
Share a link to any node
Every supplier, part, order, and build has a shareable link that opens the board with that node selected.
- Improved
The map and the confirm loop point at each other
Click one of Alan's proposals and the map highlights the node it is about; click a flagged node and its confirm card scrolls into view. Inspected proposals say PROPOSED until you decide.
- Improved
Steer Alan mid-thought
The chat has a stop button while Alan is working, and anything you type meanwhile queues and sends the moment he finishes. Long messages grow the composer instead of overflowing it.
- New
A new front door: you can just make things
The website now opens with a live company Alan founded and ran, real patent filings from people who just made things, and a composer that starts yours. Everything on the page is a replay or a capture from the product, not an animation.
- New
Onboarding is a conversation
Sign up, tell Alan what you make, or drop in whatever you have: purchase orders, a supplier list, a BOM export, spreadsheets, even a photo of the whiteboard. Messy is fine. He reads it, builds your operation as a live board, flags every guess for your confirmation, and asks about what he could not work out. While he works, the status shows what he is actually doing: thinking through your operation, reading your documents, finding suppliers for your parts.
- New
The conversation continues onto the board
After onboarding, the operating view opens with your words at the top of the thread and Alan's summary of what he put on the board. His flagged guesses and open questions live in the same conversation, so there is no dead end between setting up and running.
- Improved
Every build has a route you can read
Confirmed build steps get a permanent home on the product: the ordered stages, the quality checks at each stage, and the hours per unit that drive every run.
- New
Your live world, behind your sign-in
Workspaces with team invites and roles. Invite a teammate by email; when they sign up, they land in your company, not an empty one.
- New
Crew confirmations
Alan prompts the person who actually did the work: confirm the receipt, the build stage, the shipment. A confirmation is the record; nothing enters the books unwitnessed.
- New
Settings that respect operators
Pick the model Alan runs on, set his operating policy, choose light or dark.
- New
Money on the same board
Open purchase orders, payables, and what shipped on time, derived from the same ledger as everything else. One source of truth, no reconciliation.
- New
TuringDock becomes the operator
The product changed shape: instead of software you operate, an operator you talk to. Tell Alan what you make; he builds the company around it as a live, inspectable board where every number traces to an event that actually happened. Release notes for the previous product are retired; the log restarts here.
