The POS app, and Brand Manager

New product line: a native point-of-sale app for shop staff. Catalog checkout, Stripe Terminal tap-to-pay, a staff-PIN lock screen, and a dispatch system that fires waivers, rentals, and training to the right station. This is also the week the platform stopped being only about Mars Scuba - the first real Brand Manager shipped for manufacturers.

That is a big deal: MAP-violation alerts, territories, reps - the price-policing that dive brands care about more than almost anything. The foundation is starting to hold up more than one kind of business.

Also the week we flipped the merged app over to serve all production hosts and repointed the mobile app and every automation at api.plunkx.com. Cutovers are always scarier than they read in a bullet point.
