Roadmap

1. Verein in Gründung, said plainly

   in progress · 3/5 steps done

   • Every public page states "Verein in Gründung" instead of a recognised status — done
   • Donation-receipt claims and invented UIDs removed from the site — done
   • The "not a charity" line removed — it contradicted the legal page — done
   • Association registered — not done
   • Cantonal recognition as gemeinnützig (only then do receipts become possible) — not done
   Where this comes from

2. Three divisions, one idea

   in progress · 5/5 steps done

   • evig computers live on the marketplace with one checkout for refurbished stock and community listings — done
   • evig technicians live on IT-Hilfe: post a request, receive offers from technicians nearby, choose one — done
   • evig ai live with a stated boundary: not a research lab, no magic, no lock-in — done

Changelog

1. June 16, 2026

   Fewer clicks, faster paths. Login and registration respect callbackUrl again — checkout and deep links return to the right place after sign-in. Marketplace checkout loads listings on the server; no double spinner from session + API waterfall. Dashboard has persistent quick navigation; lean layout without floating assistants on task pages. Legacy /shop/product/:uuid redirects to the marketplace listing when a match exists. IT-Hilfe request: describe the problem immediately; AI assist collapsed by default. Admin sidebar auto-expands the active group — one fewer click per visit.

2. June 16, 2026

   Shop unified into marketplace. /shop, /shop/search, /shop/category/..., and /shop/product/... now redirect into the canonical marketplace. Navigation, sitemap, chatbot suggestions, and shop URL helpers no longer generate new /shop links. evig listings are consistently marked by explicit flag or staff email; other sellers use neutral labeling. Payrexx-backed payments now stop in production with a setup message until a Payrexx account is configured.

3. June 16, 2026

   Self-host deploy hardened. Production target clearly documented as revampit.orangecat.ch; revamp-it.ch remains marked as the legacy domain. Deploy script now keeps a release backup before activation and automatically rolls back when the health check fails. Self-host releases inherit server-local .env and launch.sh files so secrets and systemd launch logic stay out of the repository. GitHub deploy workflow now runs lint and typecheck before production deploy. New /api/version endpoint exposes app version, git SHA, and build time for monitoring and deploy verification. Meilisearch now runs on the Hetzner server as a localhost-only Docker service and /api/health reports healthy again.

4. June 16, 2026

   Homepage and marketplace hierarchy realigned. Homepage CTAs moved from device donation to refurbished purchasing and repair discovery. Marketplace mega menu now prioritizes shop, community listings, technician search, and help requests before supply/contribution paths. IT-Hilfe hub now starts with technician and workshop discovery instead of the request form. Blog rationale documents the business, design, and engineering decision behind the new information hierarchy.

5. June 15, 2026

   evig Platform 0.1.0. Design system migration complete: admin and dashboard surfaces now use semantic tokens and card-shell throughout. Removed legacy CSS aliases — globals.css is now the sole source for surface, text, and accent tokens. Project-wide ESLint design rules set to error: no raw buttons/inputs outside the UI kit. Unified overlay shadows to shadow-xs; static cards no longer use shadow-lg.

6. June 14, 2026

   evig Platform 0.0.9. Rolled out ui-public-* utilities across marketing, shop, and IT-Hilfe pages. Semantic design tokens on public surfaces — no more hardcoded neutral-* classes. Self-host deploy script and GitHub Actions workflow for Hetzner documented.

7. June 10, 2026

   evig Platform 0.0.8. Refactored upcycling mini-site with scroll-spy table of contents on the business plan. Navigation i18n fix: projects mega-menu shows translated labels instead of raw keys. Technician profile pages and public technician list refreshed. Per-page og:image for upcycling subpages — social shares now show preview images.

8. June 5, 2026

   evig Platform 0.0.7. Admin protocol votes now bridge into tasks; legacy voting removed. Removed task analytics page; compressed task creation form. Auth documentation and dashboard onboarding aligned with live JWT stack.

9. May 28, 2026

   evig Platform 0.0.6. Fixed malformed quick-entry hover classes in device intake (Erfassung). Unified admin interactive hovers to SSOT utilities. Consolidated tasks default filter and inline actions.
