Shipped
Phase milestones, newest first. We ship at considered milestones.
Internal velocity is faster — what you see here is the considered
moments worth your attention.

Phase 14: Landing rewrite and positioning lock-in
Locked in the audience (AI-first dev workflow), voice, and headline claim. Landing page rebuilt around the positioning. Pricing moved to its own page. Four honest comparison pages against the alternatives. VivifyScrum migration importer for users moving over.
Phase 13: Onboarding setup wizard
The Connect Claude Code admin pane rebuilt as the canonical setup surface. A first-run tour walks new users through plans, the AI sidebar, and the Slack bridge. Trial-day nudges fire at day 1, 7, and 12 for in-app conversion signals.
Phase 12: Pricing launch
A 14-day free trial; Solo at $6/seat; Team5 at $25/mo; Early Adopter at $1.99/mo forever for the first 500 signups. BYO Anthropic key throughout — Vibstr never markups AI compute. Pay us for the workflow; pay Anthropic for the model.
Phase 11: Manual-first parity
Every AI-driven feature ships with a deterministic fallback. Bulk-ship into builds. The canonical plan parser at zero AI cost. Generic git-hook docs for non-Claude-Code workflows. Vibstr works without AI; AI just makes it faster.
Phase 10: Slack discuss-in-thread bridge
Click Discuss in Slack on any item; replies in Slack mirror back as Vibstr comments. No chat surface inside Vibstr — conversation lives where your team already talks, and the artifact captures automatically.
Phase 9: Per-item AI first-responder
The per-item AI sidebar that already knows the item, its plan, sibling items, comments, activity, and GitHub PRs. Read tools auto-execute; write tools fire approval cards. The trust boundary is non-negotiable.
Phase 8: External automation, cost-visibility, canonical plan format
Path A HTTP endpoints let external Claude Code instances drive the workflow loop programmatically. Cost-visibility per AI call. The canonical plan format locked the markdown shape so plans parse deterministically at zero AI cost.
Phase 7: Board view, saved filters, swimlanes
A Kanban-style Board tab with multi-dimensional grouping (status, label, assignee, build), drag-drop between columns, saved filter chips above the pills, and swimlanes for a perpendicular second axis.

Phase 6: Admin redesign and the plan-driven workflow loop
Settings rebuilt around a per-pane sidebar pattern. The plan-driven workflow loop — write a plan, derive items, ship via commits that close them — was wired end-to-end and started running every release.
Phase 5: Plans, GitHub linking, checklists
Plans became the source of truth. Items derive from plan bodies via AI; commits that reference an item with #NN close it deterministically; per-item checklists handle granular tracking inside the drawer.
Phase 4: Inbox, notifications, push, weekly digest
A centralised Inbox tab for assignments, mentions, status changes, and items closed by builds. System-level web push and an opt-in weekly digest email round out the awareness surfaces.
Phase 3: Comments, activity, reactions, real-time presence
Threaded discussion per item with @mention autocomplete and realtime awareness when teammates are viewing the same item. The activity timeline captures every state change as plain English.
Phase 2: Labels, due dates, estimates, subtasks
Lightweight metadata for the things devs actually track. No process weight, no required fields, no workflow ceremony — just the primitives, available when you want them.
Phase 1: Per-item drawer with inline editing
Replaced the modal-based item editor with a side drawer. Click any item, edit in place, navigate siblings with the keyboard. The drawer became the home for every per-item surface that landed after.
