Fixed Link

Portrait & landscape photos now display correctly in lightboxes

Images opened in the media lightbox now stay true to their original shape — tall portrait shots no longer get squashed into landscape boxes, and vice versa.

  • Portrait photos (e.g. 9:16 phone shots) display tall, not stretched wide
  • Landscape stills keep their natural proportions in the viewer
  • Consistent across all Creative and media-preview lightboxes
Fixed Link

Your affiliate earnings dashboard now shows accurate totals

The affiliate earnings ledger was displaying an outdated figure instead of your real current balance. It now correctly reflects what you've actually earned.

  • Affiliate earnings totals now match your actual payouts
  • The dashboard updates reliably after each earnings check
Fixed Link

332 merchants can now accept payments again

A fix resolves an issue where a large number of verified creators were unable to accept payments despite completing onboarding. If you were affected, your storefront should now work correctly.

  • Verified creators who completed onboarding can now sell without issues
  • Payment setup now fully carries through for all new accounts going forward
New Link

Drop an image or file into chat to build with it

You can now attach a screenshot, logo, PDF, or design mock directly in an AI chat session and it'll be used as a real build asset when creating or updating your app — no extra upload steps needed.

  • Share a screenshot or mockup in chat and watch it become part of your app
  • Works with images, PDFs, and logos dropped straight into the conversation
  • Skips the separate upload step — the file goes directly into the build
Fixed Link

Upload images in chat — with a clear tip when format isn't supported

When you paste or upload an SVG image in the builder chat, you'll now get a helpful message telling you exactly what to do (export it as PNG) instead of a confusing error. PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP are fully supported.

  • No more cryptic error messages when uploading unsupported image types
  • Clear, actionable guidance to convert SVGs to PNG before uploading
  • Supported formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP) work exactly as expected
Improved Link

AI agent builds now tell you exactly why something failed

When an AI-assisted build doesn't go through, you'll now get a clear reason why — whether it's a credit issue, a build error, or something else — so you and any connected agents know what to do next without guessing.

  • Failed builds now surface a real explanation, not silence
  • Credit-related stops are clearly flagged so agents know not to keep retrying
  • Works whether you're checking manually or using an automated workflow
Fixed Link

App logos no longer get an unwanted border

Custom logos placed in your app's header were automatically getting a faint outline added around them — even when you didn't want one. That's fixed, and your branding now appears exactly as you designed it.

  • Logo images display cleanly without any automatic border or outline
  • Your app's visual identity looks exactly as intended out of the box
Fixed Link

File attachments in AI chat now reliably kick off a build

Images and files shared in AI chat sessions — including those from external tools — now correctly trigger a build every time, even when the file arrives in an unexpected format.

  • PNG and PDF files from connected AI tools no longer silently fail to start a build
  • Unsupported file types (like Office documents) are declined clearly instead of causing a broken build
  • File handling is now consistent regardless of how the file was sent
New Link

Manage and disconnect your connected AI tools in one place

You can now see every AI tool you've connected to OverSkill — like Cursor or Claude — along with when each was last used and which team it belongs to. Disconnect any of them instantly from your account page.

  • View all connected AI tools from a single page on your account
  • See which team each tool is linked to and when it was last active
  • Disconnect any tool with one click whenever you need to
Fixed Link

App previews wake up correctly after going idle

Previews that paused after a period of inactivity now resume reliably when you return, instead of showing a broken or frozen screen. Idle tabs also no longer silently keep your app running in the background.

  • Returning to a paused app preview now shows a proper 'waking up' state instead of a dead screen
  • Leaving a tab open in the background no longer keeps your preview running unnecessarily
  • Resuming a paused preview works consistently whether you're in the editor or not
Fixed Link

Media viewer no longer cuts off videos or image captions

In the creative media lightbox, videos, captions, and navigation counters were being clipped or pushed off-screen. Everything now fits neatly within your screen — no scrolling needed to see your full media.

  • Videos display fully with all playback controls visible
  • Image captions and photo counters no longer get cut off
  • The media viewer fits any screen size cleanly
Fixed Link

Signed-in users now appear in their own people directory

In apps with a member or people directory, the currently signed-in user was missing from their own list — they could never find themselves. This is now fixed, and every user's profile is created correctly from the moment they log in.

  • Users now appear in their own app's member directory as expected
  • Search and browsing within people directories return complete results
  • Newly generated directory apps create user profiles automatically on sign-in
Improved Link

AI catches pages that were built but never made reachable

OverSkill's builder now detects when pages are created but accidentally left disconnected — meaning users would have no way to navigate to them. These orphaned pages are flagged automatically so your app works completely before it ships.

  • Pages you build are checked to make sure they're actually reachable in your app
  • Catches a common generation mistake before your app goes live
  • Saves you from shipping an app with hidden, unreachable screens

Purchases now confirm instantly instead of waiting 24 seconds

When someone buys an app you've built, their purchase now activates right away — no more sitting on a 'Confirming your purchase' screen for nearly half a minute.

  • Buyers get access to your app immediately after completing a purchase
  • No more frustrated customers waiting on a stuck confirmation screen
  • Works reliably even during high-traffic moments
Fixed Link

Admin recovery warning only appears when you actually need it

The 'Restore admin access' alert was showing up for every user — even ones who were already admins. Now it only appears when an app genuinely needs recovery attention.

  • No more false-alarm warnings cluttering your Users tab
  • Admin recovery prompts appear only when action is truly needed
