Platform updates, April 2026

Beside many non-customer-facing-under-the-hood updates, we have shipped a number of smaller improvements for the new platform. Here is what's new. We are still trying to figure a consitent format for writing release updates, like this one.

# Dashboard

# GitHub deployment comments

The fortrabbit GitHub app now comments on pull requests when code has been deployed. This makes it easier to see what is live without leaving GitHub.

This is enabled by default, we may add a feature to disable it, based on user feedback.

# New payment method flow

Adding a new payment method is now always a multi-step process. This makes the flow more reliable and easier to follow. Specifically for clients boarding. We also added more payment types recently. Beside others PayPal is avaiable.

# Domain splash screen

After creating a domain, a new splash screen shows DNS instructions for both the WWW subdomain and apex domain on a single page. More domain updates to follow.

# Domain whois info

There is now a new button to show whois data for a domain with the DNS table in the dashboar. It's based on RDAP, so it applies only to TLDs supporting that standard (excluding .de domains for example). This information can be helpful to debug DNS issues, like when the nameserver is actually elsewhere, or where the domain is hosted. We plan to extend that feature.

# Improved login and signup

The login and signup flows now guide you more intelligently:

• If you try to log in but we don't recognise your mail, you are redirected to signup.
• If you try to sign up but we already know your mail, you are redirected to login.
• If you try to log in with a mail address that is connected to GitHub auth, the GitHub login opens directly.

We see some confusion from customers about the login where. They don't where they need to login. For now we don't have a better solution.

# Improved invite flows

Inviting developers and clients is now smoother for the invited side:

• No more double double-opt-in: clicking the invitation link also confirms the mail address.
• After login or signup, you are forwarded directly to the confirm page and then through boarding.

# Docs

# Sitemap improvements

The sitemap now includes last-updated timestamps for all pages.

# New article: test domains

There is a new article covering test domains — how to use them and what to watch out for.

# New sections: AI integrations and code editors

New doc sections cover AI tool integrations and code editors. We plan to update them, once deeper integrations wil become available.

# AI disclosure

We now show a small disclaimer where AI was used in creating text. This is experimental for now.

# Fixed

• Cancelled deployments now correctly show an end date.
