What's new

The release modules got a price, and school got easier to sit.

Every module is now paid for in one of four ways, and it says which before you install it. Credits as

the module uses AI, bought once, a monthly subscription, or free with donations welcome. The first is not a

choice — a module already spending your credits on AI is already charging you, and selling it on top would

bill you twice for the same thing — so only a module that uses no AI is asked. Whatever the answer, the

price is on the card next to Install and you are asked to confirm the number before anything is taken. A

refusal now says what it costs, what is left and that nothing was charged, on the screen you are on.

Buying once means once: remove a module and put it back and it costs you nothing the second time. A

subscription renews when somebody opens the module rather than on a schedule, so a month nobody used it is

a month nobody paid for, and if a payment cannot be taken the module stops for that workspace and says so

plainly instead of vanishing. Nothing you already had starts charging you — every existing install was

grandfathered with a receipt.

Owners set their own price. It can be cut whenever and by as much as you like; it can be raised by at most

a quarter, and no more often than every ninety days, with the limits stated on the form before you hit

them. A price of zero is refused for the two models that carry one, and points you at donations instead.

The Terms now say what buying a module actually gets you: a licence to run it, not ownership.

Classroom fits the learner rather than the year group. Where a territory sits its qualifications at

more than one level — GCSE Foundation and Higher, and their equivalents — a learner is entered at one, and

everything they are taught is pitched there instead of at the top of their age group. The routes *below*

the compulsory qualification are offered too, which they never were. An adult picks which subjects their

learner actually studies, and can shape how a lesson is written: how many questions, plain language,

worked examples first, mostly multiple choice, and a note in their own words about what this learner needs.

Lessons also follow on from each other now. Each subject has a scheme of work in teaching order, and a

learner moves through it — so the next maths class picks up where the last one left off instead of being

drawn fresh each morning.

Smaller things. The Credits and Yomcoins pages are illustrated again, redrawn in a modern style rather

than the wartime-poster look they had. Saving your credit-usage arrangement saves it, instead of handing

you a JSON file. The Modules list on the platform console paginates, the dashboard header can search its

cards, and Tower Defense was rebuilt as a single drawn interface.

The release the 3D assistants arrived in, and a rearrangement of where your money lives.

Your workspace can have an assistant, and it is built rather than picked. Describe the one you want and

it is modelled, rigged and animated for you, then it lives on your workspace page — it can be grabbed,

thrown, and dropped, and it lands like something with joints rather than a falling brick. Elbows bend one

way, knees the other, and letting go of an arm no longer sends the whole robot spinning. An assistant is a

folder you can drop somewhere, so one can be published, shared and installed rather than rebuilt from

scratch by everybody who wants it.

Building one costs real money at a supplier, so the whole path was made to hold its nerve: a build that

fails partway is picked up where it stopped rather than started again, a supplier that is briefly

unreachable is waited for instead of counted as a failure, and a request the supplier itself refuses is

held rather than charged for. What a build was quoted is now recorded against what it actually cost.

The money screen became two money screens. What you spend and what you are owed were on one page and

were easy to read as each other. Now "Credits" is what you have and what it goes on, and "Yomcoin (cash)"

is what you have earned — with your yomcoins sitting beside your credits in the menu either way. The list

of what you have already spent moved behind its own button rather than being the longest thing on the page,

and your workspace's figures sit behind a Statistics chip on your settings instead of at the bottom of a

card about an address.

Plans stopped capping and started discounting. Every plan builds as many modules as you like; what a

bigger one buys is a better discount on everything you spend. There is a starter package you can buy

exactly once. Free credits arrive daily, are always spent before the ones you paid for, and cost the people

who supply modules nothing — nobody earns from them and nobody is charged for them.

Settings stopped being a filing cabinet. It was drawers inside drawers; it is one flow now, in the

order you would actually work through an account, with a chip menu across the top to jump to any part of

it. How your workspace signs in lives with the people it signs in, and closing a workspace lives with the

owner whose decision it is.

Signing up says who you are, and is harder for a robot. New accounts give a name, a territory and a

date of birth before they can use the place; existing accounts are untouched. Behind that, the checks that

tell a person from a script were tightened and put behind a single switch — with no CAPTCHA, and nothing

sent to anybody else. You can also report a problem without your name on it, and the form says plainly that

support can still see who you are, because they have to be able to answer you.

Modules can now leave. Every module has its own repository, builds on its own, and no longer needs the

platform's source to exist — which is the groundwork for other people supplying them. Along the way a

module's own settings got one home, a module that throws no longer takes a page down with it, and modules

that are asleep cost nothing until somebody opens one.

And a lot of small things. The accent colour is green. A folder is made by dropping one module onto

another rather than by naming an empty box first. A module's cover picture can be regenerated on demand.

Sharing a module opens a proper dialog. Text that was unreadable on the accent colour was fixed in 22

places. The sign-in flow recovers rather than bouncing you when a stale sign-on comes back.

A long list of things you asked for, and two of them change how money works.

Free credits are now a thing, and you can see them. Sign in on any day and a handful of free credits

land in your account — you will see them arrive. The menu shows what you have as two numbers, what you

bought and what was given, because they behave differently: the free ones are always spent first, so the

credits you paid for are never quietly used up while free ones are sitting there. Nobody who supplies a

module earns anything from free credits — and, just as importantly, nobody is charged for the AI they buy

either. Neither side gains or loses on work the platform gave away.

Plans no longer cap how many modules you can build. Every plan is unlimited now. What a bigger plan

buys you instead is a discount on everything you spend — 5%, 12% or 20% as you go up. And there is a new

one-off starter package: a small payment for enough credits to get your first module built, plus a

permanent discount, buyable once.

Yomcoins sit beside your credits at the bottom of the menu, so what you are owed is as visible as what

you can spend.

Your workspace helps you set it up. A brand-new workspace opens its own settings so you can name it

and give it a face; once that is done, it offers to design your first module until there is one. Folders

are made by dropping one module onto another rather than by creating an empty folder first, and there are

drop targets between the cards so you can still put a module exactly where you want it. "How your people

sign in" now sits with the People it applies to.

Your settings screen has been rebuilt. It was a page of drawers inside drawers; it is now a single

flow with everything visible, in the order you would actually work through an account, with a chip menu

across the top to jump to any part of it. Moving a workspace into another one lives here now, next to the

other things only you can do.

Everyone tells us who they are. New accounts fill in a short details page — a name, a territory and a

date of birth — before they can use the platform. Existing accounts are unaffected.

You can report a problem without your name on it. Tick the box and other people see "Anonymous". Our

support team still sees who reported it, because they have to be able to answer you — and the form says

so plainly rather than promising more than we can keep.

Financials reads better. The explanation of how you make money here is a popup that shows once instead

of a paragraph you scroll past every visit, and the longer explanations now sit behind (i) buttons on the

sections they belong to.

Signing up is harder for a bot and no harder for you. Better rate limiting, timing checks and traps

that automated sign-ups fall into, with no CAPTCHA and nothing sent to a third party.

Terms. We have said plainly that credits are not money: they pay for use of the platform, they cannot

be cashed in or transferred, and they have no monetary value outside Yomcom. The free credits above are

covered there too.

The big one this time is not a feature. We had an independent, route-by-route security review of the

whole platform — every page, every button, the marketplace, the module sandbox and the background

services — and we fixed everything it found before this release went out.

What that means for you. Nothing you need to do, and nothing was misused: this platform is still

small and every account on it is known to us. But several of the things found would have mattered a great

deal later, when strangers can supply modules and the marketplace is open. We would rather fix them while

the answer is "nobody could have", than after.

• Modules are properly walled off now. A module used to be able to reach further into the platform than it had any business reaching. Every conversation between a module and the platform is now individually authenticated, and a module is told who it is working for rather than being allowed to claim it. Each module also gets its own private area of the database.
• Publishing a module now needs a person. Uploading is open; *running* what was uploaded is a decision an operator makes. Same for issuing a publishing key.
• Sign-in is stricter. Signing in with Google, Apple or Microsoft will no longer attach itself to an existing account that merely shares an email address — link it deliberately from your settings instead. Password reset and invitation links are now built from our own address rather than whatever the browser claimed, and an invitation can no longer sign you in to an account that already exists.

Fixed: credits could be taken for work that never happened. If anything went wrong in the moment

between paying for a module build and the build being queued, the credits were gone and the request was

not. Payment and the work it buys now succeed or fail together. Alongside that: builds that fail for good

are refunded automatically, requests nobody decides are closed and refunded after a week, and refunds for

requests raised here now actually reach the account that paid — previously that last one quietly did

nothing at all.

Fixed: a form could fail and say nothing. If a save failed, the page simply did not move — no error,

no explanation, and on the workspace settings popup that meant renaming your workspace looked like it had

not worked when it had. Failures are now reported on screen, everywhere, on every form.

Fixed: saving workspace settings could fail outright for any workspace after the first, because of a

clash in how directory connections were stored. Saving no longer writes a directory connection it was

never asked to make, and no longer floods your workspace history with entries about a setting you did not

touch.

Faster. The busiest thing in the database was a settings table being re-read dozens of times a page;

it is now read once. Two screens that queried once per item on screen now ask a single question. Pages

across the platform do noticeably less work to draw.

Better on a phone. Every screen has been measured at phone size: no sideways scrolling, every control

big enough to press, dialogs that fit and can be closed, sticky bars that sit where they should, and the

navigation drawer's own contents finally sized for a thumb.

• The External badge now shows on a workspace's public page — the page it exists for — so a visitor can tell which modules a workspace built and which it added from elsewhere.
• Retired marketing pages redirect to the front door instead of an error, and the site map no longer points search engines at pages that no longer exist.

• Modules, games and videos now have a home worth browsing: Discover is the front page, with picture covers, a Following page listing every workspace you follow, and pinned workspaces and modules kept in your menu so you can get back to them in one press.
• Fixed: Financials and Earnings would not open. Both screens carried a leftover instruction to bounce back into the old page frame, and once the frame was removed that instruction fired every time — the screens redirected away from themselves before you could read them.
• Fixed: an address that does not exist no longer answers as though it does. Mistyped or out-of-date links used to return a page-shaped nothing. They now take you to a short page that says what happened, shows the address that failed, and offers to report it in one press. Retired addresses forward properly again, too.
• Being refused a screen now says so in a sentence, with a way back, instead of showing a bare status code.
• Addresses say workspace where they used to say company — the word the rest of the app has used since v1.4.0. Every old link still works and forwards to the new one.
• A workspace has an owner: the person who created it. Owners are the only people who can take money out, and every workspace shows who its owner is.
• Coins held by a workspace from before owners existed have been retired. They were never spendable by an individual, and handing them to one on a guess about who founded the workspace was not a decision worth making automatically.
• The blog has closed. Everything it carried was release-shaped, so /blog now brings you here instead.
• Charity donations, which were never taken live, have been removed.

• Your subscription now says how many of your own modules you can run at once, and what you earn from them. Starter runs 1 (and can keep 1 more parked) and earns 25% of the credits other workspaces spend on it; Team 3 and 2 at 40%; Business 12 and 8 at 55%; Enterprise as many as you like at 70%. 70% is the rate every supplier was on before this, so nobody on the top plan is worse off. Your share is shown on your supplier dashboard, and on each plan on the Billing page before you buy it.
• Pausing a module takes it out of the marketplace and stops it running — for you and for anyone who had installed it. Nothing is deleted, and starting it again brings it back exactly as it was. If you move to a smaller plan we pause the least-used ones for you, and tell you and everyone affected which they were.
• Ask a supplier to change their module and you will not be left waiting forever: if they do not answer within 7 days the request closes itself, you are told, and you are offered a module of your own instead with everything you already typed carried over. It is never recorded as the supplier having refused.
• Modules you own now get a nudge, at most once each, suggesting you could make them public — when one is first built for you, when you have used it for a few days, and when somebody else asks for something like it. Making it public is explained on the module screen, with a Make public button.
• Choose how Yomcom looks for you, under Appearance in your settings: your workspace's theme, Light, Dark, or your own colours designed with AI. It follows you to every device and every workspace you belong to. Dark mode is new — the first time the app has had one.
• Choose how the menu is arranged, too: Simple, Creator (for building and selling modules), Everyday (for using them), or Custom, where you drag the items into groups you name yourself. Every arrangement holds the same items — nothing is ever hidden from you by choosing one.
• The menu can also be docked permanently to the side of the screen instead of sliding in, on larger screens.
• Fixed: refreshing the page sometimes took you back to Billing instead of where you were. Returning from a payment left a marker in the address bar that quietly took over the tab from then on.
• The Modules admin screen is now called Module admin, because the menu also carries your modules themselves and both were called the same thing.

• Organisations are now called workspaces, everywhere. The name never fitted what most people were actually making: a workspace can be a company, a charity, a group, a sole trader, or one curious person with an idea, and "organisation" made the last of those sound like paperwork. Nothing about how they work has changed — same members, same billing, same modules — only what they are called. Older entries in these notes still say organisation, because that is what shipped at the time.
• Old links keep working: /organisations now redirects to /workspaces rather than going nowhere.
• You can share a module the way you would share a video — a Share button on each module card, which uses your phone's own share sheet where there is one and copies the link where there is not.

• Every account now has an organisation of its own from the moment it signs in, so nobody lands on a wall asking them to create one before they can look around. Accounts created through Microsoft sign-in get the same starter credits as any other, which they previously did not.
• Follow an organisation to hear when it releases a module. The maker's name on each module card opens their page — what else they have made, their site, and a Subscribe button. Everyone follows Yomcom by default and can stop whenever they like.
• Ask the makers of a module to change it. A short guided form sends the request; the people who own the module decide, and see how many organisations use it, how many hours go into it and what it has earned them before they answer. Asking is free. If they say no, you are offered a module of your own instead, started from what you already wrote.
• Modules now record how long they are actually used, so their makers can tell what is worth improving. Only time with the module open and in front of somebody is counted, and suppliers see totals, never who.
• Yomcoin earned by suppliers is now attributed to the module that earned it, rather than arriving as one monthly lump.
• The sidebar leads with what people actually need: your organisation, your modules, getting one built, credits and support are always visible instead of hidden inside a closed section. Menu items are named for what they do — People, Earnings, Assistant appearance — and single sign-on has moved onto the Organisation settings page rather than a screen of its own.
• Pages are compressed in transit and stylesheets are minified. On a slow phone connection the app now loads in about half the time it did.

• Yomcoins are now cryptographic: every holding has a secp256k1 key pair and a checksummed address, the ledger is hash-chained so any alteration to its history is detectable, and coins can be transferred between holders on a signed instruction. Private keys are held in custody, encrypted at rest.
• Support: a new guided support portal at /support — describe what went wrong and what you were doing, and the AI writes the report back for you to correct before it is raised. It also checks whether somebody has already reported the same thing and offers you their ticket instead.
• Status: a public status page at /status answers "is the site working?", built from what real requests are actually doing rather than from polling. Every AI failure in the product now links to it.
• Tutorials: finishing one now actually pays the credits it promised (the request was being rejected before it reached the server). The reward amount is configurable on the platform settings page.
• Deleting an organisation now removes its module data too — projects, records and documents that used to survive it — and cancels its Stripe subscriptions so nothing keeps charging. Financial records and the audit trail are kept deliberately.
• Deleting a person now removes their support tickets, help transcripts, tutorial history and newsletter subscription, and cancels any subscription in their own name.
• Modules built from a request now arrive already installed for the organisation that asked, and the person who asked is told when it lands rather than when it was built.
• Personal plan names are now Member, Insider, Partner and Executive.
• PR & outreach is an organisation-level screen; the newsletter is separate again and stays super-user only.

• Company: auto-upload logo on file selection (remove Upload button)

On /admin/company, in the Organisation card's logo section: remove the separate "Upload logo" button. As soon as the user picks a fi

• Modules: retired the Marketplace page and menu item — the assistant now surfaces modules as cards (View → details → Install) directly in chat.
• Modules: you can ask the assistant to BUILD a new module for your organisation; it shapes a plan with you, checks it against guardrails, and hands it to the AI developer. A module you request is delivered to you in demo mode automatically once built.
• Modules: installing gives your organisation its OWN copy of a module, and you can ask the assistant to make changes to that copy without affecting anyone else.
• Modules: SDK now provides the shared page shell so modules stay small and build faster.

Account menu: change the menu item label from 'Security' to 'Settings'. The Security page remains the same; only the label in the navigation menu changes.

• On a phone screen, the menu and chat-bot combine buttons/control is fine, but on a larger screen, the menu should be at the top and the chat-bot button at the bottom (on the side they have set it up t

• Simpler sign in / sign up: one email + password form (plus the social buttons) instead of separate tabs — the same form signs you in or, for a new email, creates your account. If you were referred, you're now asked once on your first sign-in (a quick "were you referred?" prompt) rather than on the form.
• "Organisation didn't appear" fixed: joining or creating an organisation now shows up immediately — no need to close the browser and sign back in. (The browser was caching the page; it no longer does for signed-in pages.)
• Menu & assistant redesign: the main menu is now a floating panel that slides in from your chosen side; the AI assistant chat is a larger floating window in the menu's colours that slides in from the same side, closes when you click outside it, and is titled "Your AI assistant" with a bot icon. In the menu, the organisation switcher sits next to the logo (which shows your organisation's own logo if you've set one), and sign-out is a small icon tucked beside your email, away from the menu button.
• Billing: Starter is €18/mo for 100 credits and Team is €90/mo for 500 credits, each showing its bulk-discount vs buying credits one-off; the Unlimited tier was removed. Operators can now give an organisation an enterprise discount (a % off its plans and credit purchases) and/or a bespoke custom plan (its own price and monthly credits); enterprise/custom plans can be billed by invoice (Stripe emails and chases the invoice; credits apply automatically when it's paid).
• SOP builder: generating an SOP now runs in the background — you can leave the page and get a notification (and email) when it's ready; the first generation is free and later edits cost a credit; optional questions left blank are skipped; and admins can turn off the AI suggestion step per question.
• Smaller polish: the Codebase repo cards use clean icons, a long organisation name no longer overflows the switcher, and the internal "display name" field was removed from sign-up.

• Sign-up now explains itself: if creating an account fails, the form reopens the Sign up tab with the actual reason — the password doesn't meet the rules, or an account with that email already exists — instead of the old, misleading "Sign-in failed. Check your details." The password requirements are now shown right under the password box, and the email you entered is kept so you don't have to retype it.

• Sign-up now survives a blocked cookie: some browsers block the security (CSRF) cookie the sign-up form relied on — most often when the link is opened *inside another app* (email, Facebook, Instagram), in a private window, or with third-party cookies blocked. That silently failed the sign-up with no account, no verification email, and no way forward. The public sign-up form no longer requires that cookie (it keeps its bot honeypot + rate limiting), so these browsers can register and receive their verification email. And if a security-cookie check does fail on any sign-in action, the user now gets a clear "please allow cookies for this site / open in a normal browser" message instead of a blank error page.

• Sign-up fix: a referral link (?ref=…) whose referrer isn't a registered account no longer blocks sign-up. Previously such a link stopped the account being created at all — no verification email, and every retry failed the same way. Now the account is created normally and the unrecognised referral is simply dropped; a mistyped referrer entered by hand still shows a clear error so genuine typos are caught.
• Branding: the in-app help assistant, promote-notification emails and the release-notes title now say Yomcom, not the old "Yomcom" name.

• Platform: fixed an infinite loop where a borderline idea could bounce forever between the Suggestions and Support moderators (each deciding it belonged on the other's board) — an item already redirected from one board is no longer sent back, so it settles instead of ping-ponging.
• Codebase module (super-user, Test): "Find screens" now reads each app's routes as well as its files, so screens rendered inline (not in a dedicated page file) are found; "List controls/operations" run per-screen with the screen's own code, so nothing is missed (e.g. a page's table and filters); the model stages nest App → Screen → item as collapsible, retracted-by-default sections; a clean review shows "nothing to fix" instead of an empty review; re-running a stage is additive (never drops what a noisier pass missed). Each section now charges credits per run (operator-tunable, shown up-front), and coding standards can be imported from a PDF/Word/text document.

• Home School: classes are now generated from the qualification a child is working towards, not just their age. The parent picks it from a territory-specific dropdown (e.g. GCSE / A Level / BTEC in the UK), defaulting to the compulsory minimum for that territory. Each territory's qualifications — with their age-ranged stages (e.g. Key Stages) and milestones — are researched by the AI once and shared across everyone in that territory, refreshed monthly. Age still sets the depth within the child's current stage.
• Super-user dev tooling (internal): the AI-developer screen is hidden on live, and on dev gained a "Working changes" panel (view uncommitted file diffs), a "Sync changes" button (fetch/merge/push, with the git output shown), and an "Apply changes" button (rebuild + restart with a clear confirmation).

• Security page: Active Sessions expands on desktop when it shouldn't
