UpdateMay 8, 2026

What's New — May 8, 2026

New Features

Google and Kakao social login for your projects. Connect your own Google and Kakao accounts so your users can sign in with one click instead of creating a new password. Step-by-step setup guides walk you through getting the right keys, with copy-ready redirect URLs for every domain on your project.
Manage subscription plans through the AI chat. Just describe the plans you want (free, pro, enterprise, etc.) and what each one includes, and the assistant sets it all up. It can also help you manage paying customers end-to-end: creating and updating plans, assigning users, and adjusting what each plan unlocks, all through natural conversation.
Share links with the AI assistant. Drop in a URL to inspiration, a competitor, or a reference doc and get suggestions grounded in what's actually on that page.
Ask the assistant questions from anywhere in the editor. It can now look up information about your project (auth, database, payments, branding, and more) from any page, not just the matching section.
Comprehensive Kakao login guide. A new walkthrough covers the full process of enabling email-based Kakao sign-in, including the free "Biz App" upgrade Kakao requires. Two clear paths are included: one for users with a Korean business registration number, and one for individual developers. Expanded troubleshooting covers the most common Kakao errors (KOE205, redirect mismatches, missing emails, and synthetic email fallbacks) with step-by-step fixes.

Improvements

Sign-in changes go live automatically. Adding or removing Google or Kakao sign-in now rolls out in a few seconds with no extra Deploy step. The setup screen also tells you exactly when your changes will be live.
A more complete view of your users. The user list in your project's auth panel now shows everyone who's signed up, including Google and Kakao users. Small icons next to each row show how they signed in, so you can see at a glance which login methods your customers prefer.
Enable or disable any team member's access. This now works for everyone, including users who signed in with Google or Kakao.
Smarter sign-in screen. The login screen remembers how you logged in last time, showing a small "last used" tag next to your email or chosen social login so you can pick up right where you left off.
Quick "Edit profile" shortcut on your own user profile page.
Live progress for AI lookups. When the assistant visits a website or takes a screenshot for you, you'll now see a clear progress card showing what it's reading, plus a live "working on it" indicator for slower actions, so the chat never feels frozen.
Cleaner approval flow. You'll only see an "Apply or Discard" prompt for actions that actually need your approval.
Longer conversations with the AI. The assistant can now handle much longer chats without hitting limits, automatically trimming the oldest messages so your latest questions always go through.
Polished image previews. Images shared in chat now display at their natural size and sit cleanly centered in their card, so screenshots and previews look tidier and more accurate.
Tidier idea creation chat. When you share a link with the AI during idea creation, its summary now appears right where you'd expect. The conversation also stays friendly and easy to follow without raw code snippets sneaking in.

Bug Fixes

Discarding a feature request now clears the card. Previously, dismissing an AI feature suggestion could leave the pending approval card stuck on screen.
OAuth setup pages load reliably. Fixed an issue where the screens for connecting Google or Kakao login could fail to load properly. Wording across these screens and the documentation has also been tightened up.

UpdateMay 1, 2026

What's New — May 1, 2026

New Features

Switch your subscription plan anytime. Upgrade or downgrade right from your billing page — prorated charges or credits are handled automatically, and changes scheduled for your next cycle now apply smoothly.
Sign in with Apple. Apple is now a login option, and DontCode remembers which provider you used last time so signing back in is one tap.
Install DontCode as an app. Add DontCode to your device for quick access, with a friendly offline page if your connection drops.
Home page side panel. Browse your projects, templates, and saved drafts in one place, pick up unfinished ideas right from the sidebar, and dismiss any drafts you no longer need.
Search your saved drafts. Find the idea you were working on by name, even when your draft list gets long.
One-click prompt suggestions. Tap an example chip like "Customer feedback dashboard" or "Korean cafe coworking finder" right inside the idea box to fill it in instantly — suggestions are generated fresh by AI in English or Korean.
Smarter chat suggestions. Starter prompts in the AI builder now adapt to what you've been talking about and where you are in your project, so the ideas feel more relevant.
Filter your credits and billing history. Browse by time range (7, 30, 90 days, or the last year) and filter by transaction type to quickly find any past payment — subscription invoices and credit purchases now live together in one history.
Plan upgrade suggestions on your credits page. Compare your current plan to higher tiers at a glance and jump straight to upgrading for more monthly credits.
Polished social previews. Sharing a project link on Twitter, LinkedIn, Slack, or chat apps now shows a clean preview card with your project's landing page and the DontCode badge — even projects without a custom thumbnail get branded artwork.
Subscription refund coverage. Our refund policy now includes a 7-day cooling-off window for new subscribers who haven't used their plan, plus clear rules for cancelling (you keep access through the end of your billing period — no surprise charges).

Improvements

Refreshed homepage. A sharper headline ("Don't code. Build."), a new "Describe, Generate, Launch" walkthrough, trust signals, and the actual KakaoPay, NaverPay, and Toss logos make it easier than ever for newcomers to see what DontCode delivers out of the box.
Cleaner home page layout. Better spacing as you scroll and a new actionable section that helps you jump into key actions right from the start.
Fresher project flow. Finishing a new project from a template now clears the chat draft automatically, so coming back gives you a clean slate instead of a leftover conversation.
Discount codes survive social signup. Codes you arrive with are automatically reapplied after signing up with Google or Kakao, so your discount won't get lost mid-signup.
AI workflows builder is now deprecated. Existing flows keep working, but new automations should be requested through the App chat — you'll see a clear notice in-app.
On-brand text highlights. Selecting text in DontCode now uses our brand color for a more polished feel.
Tighter password reset security. Reset links are locked down so only the system itself can issue or read them, keeping your account safer.

Bug Fixes

Korean payments are more reliable. Fixed an issue that could block KakaoPay, NaverPay, and Toss credit purchases for some accounts, and improved how payment confirmations are processed so your credits and subscription updates show up correctly even if a notification arrives twice or out of order.
Canceled payments reverse correctly. Failed or canceled credit purchases are now reversed properly, keeping your balance accurate.
Smoother subscription checkout. Fixed a bug that could cause subscription payments to fail at the final step, so upgrading to a paid plan now goes through reliably.
Templates load without looping. Browsing templates on the home page no longer gets stuck trying to load more results — the page settles quickly and feels more responsive.
Footer sits where it belongs. Fixed a visual glitch where the footer was getting cut off next to the home page sidebar.
Chat collapse arrow points the right way. The arrow now points down when expanded, matching what you'd expect.

UpdateApril 24, 2026

What's New — April 24, 2026

New Features

Crop and position your logos in the editor. Pinch, zoom, and drag to frame each image exactly how you want it before saving it to a branding slot.
Pick up where you left off on new app ideas. Your in-progress idea chats are now saved and shown right on your home page — jump back into a draft with a single click.
A clearer view of your drafts. Easily tell which drafts are fresh ideas versus ones started from a template, with a quick preview of what you wrote and the option to dismiss any you no longer need.

Improvements

Smoother project ownership transfers. Project owners can now hand off a project to a team admin directly from team settings, with a clear confirmation step explaining that billing switches to the new owner's plan and the previous owner becomes an admin.
Project roles, explained. Team settings now include a clear breakdown of project roles — Owner, Admin, Editor, and Viewer — showing exactly what each role can and can't do, plus a note that the project owner handles billing.
Clearer credits breakdown. Your credits page now separates monthly subscription credits from purchased top-up credits, with a note that monthly credits reset each billing cycle while purchased credits never expire.
Richer billing details. The billing info page now shows more detailed subscription information so you can better understand your plan and charges.
Polished plan page. Upgrade and billing buttons now show a pointer cursor on hover, making it clearer they're clickable.
Better mobile layout for in-project tools. The action sidebar that surfaces tools and suggestions now adapts more cleanly on smaller screens.
Cleaner locked-feature screens. Locked features (like advanced authentication and payments) now display without extra padding getting in the way.
Chat stays where you put it. When you scroll up to read earlier messages in a streaming conversation, the chat no longer yanks you back to the bottom — you stay where you are until you're ready to come back.

Bug Fixes

No more stuck loading spinner on team invites. Fixed a small glitch where the spinner could hang before your session finished loading.

UpdateApril 17, 2026

What's New — April 17, 2026

New Features

Subscription plans have launched. Upgrade to unlock monthly credits, custom domains, advanced AI models, priority support, and more team seats. A new "Manage subscription" page brings your current plan, credit balance, renewal date, and payment history together in one spot — and you can cancel or resume anytime with a couple of clicks.
Add-ons for your subscription. Tack on extra features with the price locked in so future changes won't affect you. See every active add-on and its monthly cost right on the billing page, and remove one in a single click — features stick around until your next renewal so nothing disappears mid-cycle.
Auto-reload your credits. Pick a balance threshold and a credit pack, and we'll top you up automatically before you run out. See your last auto-reload status at a glance, with full Korean and English support.
Discount codes at checkout. Active discounts on your account now apply automatically — the best percentage off wins. A new "Your active discounts" section on the billing page shows available discounts, bonus credits, expiration dates, and "new accounts only" badges.
Billing History page. View every receipt, credits purchased, total spent, and payment status — completed, refunded, pending, and more — all in one place. Project owners can review detailed payment records to track spending and manage team billing.
Transfer project ownership. Project owners can now hand off a project to another team member, making role changes and transitions seamless.
Plan page for your project. See your current plan, pricing, included credits, and features at a glance, with clear upgrade and billing management options.
Refund policy page. Know exactly what to expect when purchasing credits, with easy access from the checkout page and footer. Checkout now shows the terms and refund policy you're agreeing to before you complete a purchase.
More payment methods for subscriptions. Beyond credit card, billing now automatically picks the right option for your region — including KakaoPay and bank transfer.

Improvements

A friendlier upgrade experience. Hit a paid feature and a new modal pops up instantly showing which plan unlocks it — upgrade without leaving your project. Prompts explain what you're unlocking (custom domains, advanced AI models, extra team seats, and more) in both English and Korean, and the billing page highlights the cheapest plan that fits with a purple "Recommended" badge.
Clearer upgrade path for team members. If you're not the project owner, locked-feature prompts now show the owner's name or email so you know exactly who to ask for the upgrade.
Smarter team seat limits. Invite forms clearly dim and link to upgrade options when you hit your plan's seat cap, so you know why and how to get more seats — no more surprise errors mid-invite.
Custom domains tied to your plan. The Deploy page now shows a clean upgrade prompt when your plan doesn't include custom domains, instead of a confusing error.
A more expressive AI assistant. The Insight mascot now pulls funny faces — curious, surprised, exhausted, and more — while you chat, with extra expressions popping in while it's working on your request. Korean help prompts also read more naturally.
Cleaner project blueprint editor. Project name and description are now managed in one consistent place instead of being duplicated — simpler setup, less confusion.
Cleaner Deploy dashboard. Live URL and uptime are now combined into one card so you can see your site's health at a glance.
Polished visuals. A refreshed animated mascot logo and small visual tune-ups on home page project cards.
Clearer Korean security banner. The wording now reads naturally, making it easier to understand at a glance how many suspicious visits were blocked this month.

Bug Fixes

No more stuck subscriptions. If a payment doesn't go through — you close the popup, cancel, or hit an error — your pending upgrade is automatically cleaned up so you can retry fresh.
Accurate billing status. Your plan info now reflects your active subscription correctly, so you won't see stale trial details after your trial ends.
No more duplicate add-on charges. Fixed a rare issue where adding the same add-on twice in quick succession could create duplicate charges.
Honest save messages. Saving auto-reload settings now shows the real error if something goes wrong, instead of falsely claiming "Saved."
Safer add-on removal. Removing an add-on now asks you to confirm first, so you won't cancel something with an accidental click.
Cleaner AI assistant suggestions. Navigation suggestions in chat no longer appear duplicated or awkwardly formatted — they show up cleanly with a clickable button to jump straight to the recommended spot.
Correct "Signup Bonus" label. Signup bonus credits now display with the proper label on your credits history page.
Team invite links respect plan limits. You won't accidentally invite more teammates than your subscription allows.
