Building in Public
Changelog
Track our journey as we build for the barbershop booth rental industry.
Map Zoom Controls Visibility
Relocated zoom controls from bottom-right to top-right corner of map to prevent clipping at viewport edge. Controls now fully visible on all screen sizes with improved responsive sizing.
Owner Dashboard Welcome Section
Updated Owner Dashboard welcome section spacing to match Barber Dashboard UI consistency. Increased vertical padding (py-8) and adjusted date margin (mb-2) for better visual hierarchy.
Phone Validation Regex
Fixed syntax error in account settings phone number validation regex. Users can now properly save phone numbers containing digits, spaces, hyphens, plus signs, and parentheses.
Shop Detail Page Async Params
Fixed Next.js 16 async params handling in shop detail pages (both owner and barber). Shop IDs now properly resolve before data fetching, preventing undefined errors.
Shop Page Error Resilience
Added comprehensive error handling for fetch cancellations and storage listeners. Shop pages now gracefully handle AbortError exceptions and continuous re-renders without crashing.
Stripe Connected Banner Dismiss
Added X button to dismiss Stripe Connected banner on shop dashboard. Dismissal saves to localStorage and users can still access Stripe through Settings > Billing.

Simplified role switching to allow unrestricted mode toggling between Barber and Owner modes. Removed all validation restrictions for seamless user experience.

When owners release a barber from their roster, their Stripe subscription now automatically cancels to stop future charges. Barbers receive an instant notification explaining the release.
Multiple Payment Support
Barbers can now make multiple payments to the same shop, allowing them to pay ahead for future months or add additional booth services whenever needed.

Owners can onboard barbers with custom pricing but collect payment outside the platform (cash, Venmo, Zelle). Perfect for shops that prefer traditional payment methods.
