A note from the two of us. Lillie is a working singer. Sam builds the app. Gigflow is our attempt to replace the spreadsheets and notes apps that most performers run their working lives from.
This update has no new button to show you. It is about what Gigflow runs on, and we think you should know where your records live.
To get the first version into people’s hands quickly, Gigflow began life on a hosted platform that bundled the database, sign-in and hosting in one place.
But Gigflow has grown into somewhere people keep their gig diary, their mileage and their tax records. For something you rely on like that, we wanted to own every part of it.
What’s new
Gigflow has moved to its own setup.
Our own database. Your data lives in Gigflow’s own Supabase database.
Our own sign-in. Sign-in runs behind auth.gigflow.co.uk.
The app served by Vercel. When you open app.gigflow.co.uk, it comes from Vercel.
Email through Resend. Sign-up codes and invoices are sent through Resend.
Tests before every release. Every change runs through automated tests before it reaches you.
How it works
For you, nothing changed, and that was the whole point. Your account, your gigs, your invoices and your records all came across as they were.
Why it matters
Owning each part means we can go straight to the cause of a problem and fix it. When a performer tells us a screen is awkward, there is nothing between us and changing it. We can fix and ship faster because no part of Gigflow is out of our hands.
Gigflow is now ours from top to bottom, every change is tested before release, and the list of things you have asked for just became easier to build.
Thank you for trusting us with your diary while we moved the furniture.
Sam and Lillie
