Payment form no longer gets stuck after a card decline

If a payment is declined due to a card issue, the checkout form now shows the right message and lets customers try again — without needing to refresh the entire page.

  • Customers see a clear, accurate message when a card is declined
  • The Pay button works again immediately after a decline — no hard refresh required
Improved Link

Payment identity verification is now simpler and more reliable

The identity verification step for enabling in-app payments has been streamlined into a single button flow — one click opens a confirmation, then takes you directly to the secure verification window.

  • One clear button to start identity verification — no confusing intermediate steps
  • A confirmation prompt keeps the flow smooth before opening the verification window
  • Fewer drop-offs means you can get payments enabled faster

  • Updated icon is now live on the OverSkill iOS app
  • Crisp, on-brand look across all iPhone display sizes

Fixed Link

App previews now show your real, finished app — not a placeholder

Screenshots and previews generated during app building were sometimes capturing a loading screen instead of your actual app. Now previews only appear once your app is truly ready to show.

  • App preview images now always reflect your real, completed app
  • No more placeholder or 'getting ready' screens showing up in your previews
Fixed Link

Deploys no longer fail due to missing custom endpoint data

A bug was causing some app deploys to fail when custom endpoints were involved. That's fixed — your apps publish reliably again.

  • Apps with custom endpoints deploy successfully every time
  • No more mysterious deploy failures blocking you from going live
Fixed Link

AI builder stops itself if it gets stuck in a loop

In rare cases, the AI could get caught repeating the same action over and over during app generation, stalling your build. A new safeguard now detects and stops this automatically so your session stays on track.

  • App generation no longer stalls due to the AI repeating the same step endlessly
  • Runaway build sessions are automatically caught and stopped before they waste your time
Improved Link

Skills can now hold up to 30,000 characters of content

You can now save significantly longer Agent Skills without hitting a save error — great for detailed instructions, rich knowledge bases, or complex workflows built into a single skill.

  • Skills now support up to 30,000 characters — up from 20,000
  • No more failed saves when building detailed or content-heavy skills

AI Skills now look great in dark mode

The AI Skills section of your app builder now fully supports dark mode, so everything looks polished whether you're working in light or dark. No more washed-out or off-brand colors.

  • AI Skills screens now match your dark mode preference automatically
  • Colors and contrast updated for a consistent, professional look
Fixed Link

Preview pane no longer goes blank after inactivity

When your app's preview had been sitting idle and you returned to the editor, the right-hand preview area would appear completely empty — no loading indicator, nothing. It now correctly shows a wake-up card while your preview spins back up.

  • Returning to the editor after a break now shows a clear loading state instead of a blank screen
  • No more confusion about whether your app is broken or just waking up
Improved Link

Checkout forms now pre-fill name & email for returning visitors

When someone arrives at your checkout page from a sign-up link, their name and email are automatically filled in — no re-typing required. Fields are only pre-filled when the info is already known, and anything a user has already typed is never overwritten.

  • Returning visitors see their name and email ready to go at checkout
  • Blank fields stay blank for new visitors — no unwanted pre-fill
  • Reduces friction and drop-off at the payment step
Fixed Link

Declined payments can now be retried with the real reason shown

When a card is declined at checkout, your customers now see the actual reason (e.g. "insufficient funds" or "incorrect CVC") and can try again — instead of hitting a dead end with a generic error.

  • Customers see a clear, specific decline message instead of a vague error
  • A fresh payment attempt is automatically set up after a decline
  • Reduces lost sales from one-time card issues
Fixed Link

AI chat no longer loses text that mentions HTML-like words

Chat messages that referenced common web terms like "template" or "iframe" in plain conversation were previously getting silently cut — that text now appears exactly as written.

  • Chat responses with technical terms in them now display the full message
  • No more mysterious missing words in AI-generated content
Fixed Link

AI-powered features in your apps work reliably with the latest AI models

Apps built with OverSkill that include AI features now work correctly with the newest AI models, which had been returning an error for some users due to a behind-the-scenes parameter mismatch.

  • AI features in your published apps no longer error out on newer AI models
  • No changes needed on your end — this is automatic
New Link

Invite code owners are notified when their invite is redeemed

People who share invite codes to your waitlist or community will now receive an email the moment someone uses their code — keeping your advocates in the loop and rewarding referrers.

  • Invite senders get an email confirmation when their code is used
  • Encourages sharing by closing the referral feedback loop
  • Works automatically with your existing invite setup
Improved Link

Trust Center page polished with consistent branding

The Trust Center now uses the same footer and visual style as the rest of OverSkill, and badges clearly distinguish between independently audited certifications and self-reported ones.

  • Consistent footer matches the rest of the OverSkill site
  • Audited and self-attested badges are now visually distinct and easy to read
