What is SolidInvoice?

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.

What is Pigment?

Pigment's Agents break out of single applications and start reading your spreadsheets.

The Agents are the story: Modeler and Analyst now launch from the homepage and hold one conversation across multiple Applications, with the Analyst comparing Metrics across them and handling Board search. Days earlier, the Modeler gained the ability to build a Pigment model — data, Blocks, formulas, and Boards — from a dropped XLSX file, with multi-file uploads of PDFs, CSVs, and images. The rest of the run is planning-platform craft: metric diffing, live deployment progress, selective Metric data sync across Test & Deploy environments, and a steady stream of View Template and chart formatting controls.

SolidInvoice vs Pigment: editorial side-by-side

S0.0

SolidInvoice finally shipped the 3.0 it spent a year staging in alphas and betas.

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

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.

◆ Prediction

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.

6.3

Pigment's Agents break out of single applications and start reading your spreadsheets.

◆ Current state

The Agents are the story: Modeler and Analyst now launch from the homepage and hold one conversation across multiple Applications, with the Analyst comparing Metrics across them and handling Board search. Days earlier, the Modeler gained the ability to build a Pigment model — data, Blocks, formulas, and Boards — from a dropped XLSX file, with multi-file uploads of PDFs, CSVs, and images. The rest of the run is planning-platform craft: metric diffing, live deployment progress, selective Metric data sync across Test & Deploy environments, and a steady stream of View Template and chart formatting controls.

◆ Where it's heading

Pigment is moving its Agents from assistants scoped to one Application into a workspace-level layer that can see and act across the whole model estate. Pairing that with Excel ingestion targets the actual starting condition of most planning customers, whose current model is a spreadsheet. Meanwhile the environment tooling — deployment visibility and configuration data kept in sync between test and production — reads as a platform maturing for customers who now treat their Pigment models as software.

◆ Prediction

With Agents workspace-wide and able to construct models from files, the next step is putting them inside the change-management path — proposing model edits that flow through Test & Deploy rather than landing directly. Expect the Analyst's cross-Application reach to extend into scheduled or triggered analysis rather than only chat-initiated questions.
