What's new in Foregrade

New Features

• Dynamic OG images for /breakeven — Share a breakeven calculation and the link preview renders the exact numbers you plugged in, right in Slack, X, and LinkedIn.
• One email renderer, every route — Every transactional and nurture email (19 routes) now runs through a single template system. Consistent preheaders, dark-mode-safe colors, and a plain-text mirror for every message.
• Forward projection on profit chart — Dashboard chart now shows a weekday-average arm projecting the rest of the month, with a confidence band around the trailing line.

Improvements

• Kicker tones — Urgent / warn / info / success tone kickers on trial and deadline emails so the subject matches the header intent.
• Accessible single-quote handling — Every templated email now escapes apostrophes (no more "O'Brien" bugs in customer names).
• List-Unsubscribe headers — One-click unsubscribe headers on all marketing and digest mail.

Fixes

• Chart axes now render inside forward-projection panels (regressed when we refactored axes into wrappers — wrappers removed).
• Fixed Railway build failure caused by undefined ESLint rule comments.

New Features

• OTC mandatory attributes guide — New help article covering the April 2026 TikTok Shop OTC product listing rules (drug facts, active ingredient, dosage form) so your listings don't get delisted.
• TikTok Policy help category — New category in the Help Center for platform rule changes, return policies, and compliance guides.

Improvements

• Help Center now has 6 categories — Getting Started, Dashboard, Returns, Profits, Integrations, and TikTok Policy.
• Search index — Excludes MDX body content so the client payload stays small while search still matches on titles, slugs, and summaries.

New Features

• Confidence bands — Cash flow chart now renders a ±band around the projection so you can see expected variance, not just the point estimate.
• Forward arm — Profit chart draws a dashed weekday-average line for the remainder of the month, with an end-of-month projection callout in the subtitle.
• Shared chart tokens — Ink / muted / accent / parchment palette tokens used across every chart so light and dark modes stay in sync.

Improvements

• Unified tick formatting — All charts now use `formatCompactExact` (e.g. `$12.4K` instead of `$12,372`) on dense series, and full values on less-crowded ones.
• Zero line styling — Zero-crossing reference lines now share a subtle muted stroke instead of each chart picking its own.
• Categorical color order — Category charts (fees by type, returns by reason) now use a fixed color order so colors stay stable when you filter.

New Features

• /breakeven — Standalone breakeven calculator with shareable URL params. Plug in sale price, COGS, affiliate rate, and fixed costs to see units-to-breakeven and target price.
• /compare/shophunter — New side-by-side comparison against ShopHunter covering fees, profit logic, and returns workflow.
• Security page — Full subprocessor list, encryption posture, deletion SLA, and scope rationale published at /security.

Improvements

• Mono eyebrows — All public landing sections now use a consistent uppercase-mono eyebrow label.
• Nav + footer — Resources dropdown adds Security + Status links. Footer split into balanced columns.
• Sitemap + middleware — `/breakeven`, `/compare/shophunter`, `/security` all indexed. Legacy `/how-it-works` redirects to `/features`.

Pricing

• Founder's Deal — $149 one-time for lifetime Growth access (200 spots). Unlimited orders, alerts, serial-returner detection, all Growth features.
• Plans refreshed for 2026 — Starter $29/mo ($23 annual), Growth $69/mo ($55 annual), Scale $129/mo ($103 annual). Free stays free, capped at 100 orders/mo.
• Annual billing discount surfaced everywhere — Monthly/annual toggle on pricing, settings, and upgrade prompts.

Fee Engine

• US unified 6% referral — Updated to reflect TikTok's 2025 US fee consolidation (referral now includes payment processing).
• Region expansion — US, UK, and EU fee configs live in `fee-rates.ts`, with category overrides for electronics and books.
• Partial refund handling — Partial refunds now keep fees as-is (matches TikTok's API behavior).

New Features

• Partner program — Apply at /partners to earn a share of every referral. New affiliates page shows terms, payout schedule, and the application form.
• Serial returner detection — Growth+ plans now flag buyers who return unusually often so you can decide whether to approve future orders.
• Return deadline alerts — Optional email + in-app alerts 24h before a return decision window closes.

Improvements

New Features

• Fee breakdown by category — US/UK/EU fee tables with electronics and books overrides.

Improvements
