Building credit, not just repairing it — while everything else strips friction out of signup
Two products share this feed: the platform credit-repair businesses run on, and Credit Hero Score, the consumer app those businesses put in front of their clients. Recent volume is almost entirely friction removal on the CHS side — enrollment now clears on the last four digits of a client's SSN, the Contact Us page surfaces chat, email and phone up front, and a batch of small fixes closed dead ends in payments, password resets and affiliate accounts. The exception is BuildCredit Rent, an add-on that reports on-time rent as credit history with up to 24 months of backfill. A USPS postage increase is passed straight through to CloudMail pricing.
SolidInvoice finally shipped the 3.0 it spent a year staging in alphas and betas.
After more than twelve months of alpha and beta releases, SolidInvoice 3.0 landed in June with the accumulated work of that cycle: email verification, Google OAuth, two-factor authentication, real user profiles, flat-rate tax support and a Meilisearch-backed search layer. Underneath it, the project moved onto a shared platform config and pulled trial and SaaS logic into an external bundle. The 2.3 line ran in parallel the whole time, absorbing security backports.

The operational work has a single target: the points where a client stalls and the credit-repair business absorbs a support ticket. Enrollment is the newest and most consequential of those — cutting the SSN requirement to four digits with an automatic fallback attacks drop-off at the exact moment a prospect becomes a paying client, which is worth more to the business owner than anything further down the funnel. The strategic movement is narrower but clearer: BuildCredit Rent puts the platform on the credit-building side of the market rather than only the disputing side, which is a longer relationship with the end consumer than a dispute cycle allows.
Rent is sold as an add-on to the Credit Hero Score subscription rather than bundled into it, so the next expansion most likely takes the same shape — another alternative-data source reported and priced the same way, rather than a change to the base plan.

Two threads run through this changelog. The visible one is identity and account management catching up to what users expect from a billing app — signup verification, OAuth, 2FA, self-serve company deletion. The less visible one is the codebase being restructured around reusable solidworx platform components with Sentry and Prometheus instrumentation, which is the shape of a project preparing to run itself as a hosted service rather than only as a download.
With 3.0 out and 3.0.1 already repairing the upgrade migration path, the near-term work is likely more 3.0.x stabilization for people coming off 2.3 rather than new features.
