+17 added~2 editedacross 8 features· 10 releases

You can now ask questions about the product in plain language and get answers with citations back to the exact behaviour behind each point. The changelog also flags the changes existing users would feel, and marks releases that changed nothing.

Key changes

Ask SpecsightPut a plain-language question to the product and get a written answer with numbered citations that open the source behind each point.
Specsight HelpA dashboard drawer answers how-to questions from the help articles, and can send you to a specific project's own answers.
ChangelogReleases that affect existing users now carry a one-sentence reason, and a release that changed no behaviour shows a short "Specsight reviewed" note.
Event discountsA promo link now carries its saving from the landing page through sign-up into the first payment, confirmed at each step.

Worth knowing

Size limitsA plan's size limit now counts only a repository's code, not its full change history — so a project with lots of history but little code is no longer too large to add.
