No corporate release notes. Just Ștefan writing down what we shipped, what we're building, and being honest about timelines.
Ștefan — updates & changelog
I keep this page updated whenever we ship something. If it's not here, it's not live yet. No “coming in Q3” nonsense — just what's done and what's next.

Stripe checkout for paid templates (one-time, no subscriptions)
License activation flow — buy, activate, get a GitHub repo invite
