What's new
Last updated November 1, 2026
1.6.0
November 1, 2026The door opens for invited makers: log in and use Scrapmatch and your off-cuts in production while the beta application stays open for everyone else. Inside, your inventory is built for thousands of pieces: search, filters, base materials and bundles.
- NewInvited makers log in from the top bar and get the whole workshop; visitors still see the beta application only.Site
- NewSearch and filters on My Offcuts: find pieces by name or note, narrow by base material, material, shape and photo, and see how many match.My Offcuts
- NewEvery piece has a base material now: wood, metal, plastic, fabric and more. Catalogue materials bring theirs along; for anything else you pick it on the scan review or when adding by hand.My Offcuts · Scrapmatch
- NewBundles: thirty identical copper pipes are one row with a quantity. A scan counts identical pieces, cards show “× n”, and you can use or cut part of a bundle; the rest stays in your off-cuts.My Offcuts · Scrapmatch
- NewSuggest what is missing: a base material from the base select, a skill or tool from the setup search. Suggestions land in the review queue like material suggestions do.Scrapmatch · Profile
- ImprovedIdeas for all your off-cuts look at every material you own, not only the pieces on screen, and count bundles as what they are.Ideas
- ImprovedMy Offcuts loads in pages of forty with “Load more”, and the beta allowance is 5,000 pieces and 1,000 saved ideas per maker.My Offcuts
- ImprovedThe site follows your account language: sign in in German, get German everywhere, on every device.Profile · Site
- ImprovedActions on cards and lists are icon buttons with tooltips, so rows stay short.My Offcuts · Builds · Profile
- FixedThe “inventory full” message named a wrong number; it now shows your own allowance.My Offcuts
1.5.0
October 31, 2026The beta takes shape behind the door: Scrapmatch moves into the site, your off-cuts get a home, ideas come from your own pieces, and builds get a log. None of it is open yet; the closed beta starts mid-November.
- NewThis changelog, with a filter by area. The footer shows the running version and links here.Site
- NewScrapmatch is a page of offcuts.work now, not a separate app. A scan ends in a piece list with sizes beside a zoomable photo; you can remove pieces or suggest a material I do not know yet.Scrapmatch
- NewMy Offcuts: your pieces from a scan or added by hand, with shape and sizes, filters, mark used or available. Pieces from an old scan can have their sizes detected later.My Offcuts
- NewCut a piece: tell it the part and the blade thickness, and the leftovers land back in your off-cuts.My Offcuts
- NewIdeas for the pieces you pick, or for all your off-cuts, with your tools taken into account. Save ideas privately; the saved list tells you which ones you can build right now.Ideas
- NewBuilds start private and go public when you say so. Each has progress with a percent, dated updates with photos, and a list of the pieces it used. “I'll build this” on an idea opens the new build.Builds
- NewSigned-in makers land on a dashboard and get a workshop shell: sidebar with live counts, builds in progress, a workbench by Planned / Building / Done.Workshop
- ImprovedProfile settings take your measurement system (cm or inches) and your skills and tools.Profile
- FixedPhotos of private or hidden builds were reachable by anyone with the link. They now sit behind your sign-in.Builds
1.4.0
October 28, 2026The home page now says why you should join the beta, and Scrapmatch gets a proper header.
- NewFive reasons to join the beta, each on its own ply board, right below the top of the home page.Site
- New“Who gets what” sets the closed beta against the open one later: both free for the whole beta, Founding Maker badge and six months of the top tier only for the closed one.Site
- ImprovedApplication, terms and About name the start in mid-November, the phases and the perks.Site
- ImprovedA globe in the header opens the language menu.Site · Scrapmatch
- ImprovedScrapmatch has its own wordmark, an account menu to sign out and a logo link back to offcuts.work.Scrapmatch
- FixedHome page and Scrapmatch footer fit narrow phones.Site · Scrapmatch
1.3.0
October 26, 2026Under the hood: backups, nightly jobs and logs I can read.
- ImprovedThe nightly backup now includes a proper database dump. So far it copied the database files as they lay on disk, which is not a reliable way to restore.Site
- ImprovedNightly cleanup (Scrapmatch photos after 90 days, expired sign-in links, unconfirmed applications) runs inside the platform on a fixed schedule, and I get told when a run fails.Site · Scrapmatch
- FixedError details got lost on the way to the log, so I was often guessing. They arrive now, with mail addresses blanked out.Site
- ImprovedNext to an application or a feedback message I see when mails to that address bounce.Site
1.2.0
October 25, 2026I can now see when a mail to you does not get through.
- ImprovedA bounced address (typo, full mailbox, spam flag) gets no more mail from offcuts.work. I can now see and unblock it. If a confirmation never arrives, tell me through the feedback form.Site
1.1.1
October 25, 2026An outage right after 1.1.0, fixed within the hour.
- FixedAfter the 1.1.0 update, applying, signing in and Scrapmatch answered with an error: the web server kept talking to the old address of the application. My mistake. Fixed and the next update cannot repeat it.Site · Scrapmatch
1.1.0
October 25, 2026Mails that look like the site.
- ImprovedMails from offcuts.work carry the logo and the Kraft & Craft look.Site
- FixedBounce reports from my mail provider were rejected over a date format, so a dead address kept getting mail. They land now.Site
1.0.1
October 25, 2026Two small things found on launch day.
- Improvedoffcuts.work has its own icon in the browser tab and on the home screen.Site
- FixedReplies to my mails went nowhere: the sending address has no mailbox. They now reach hello@offcuts.work.Site
1.0.0
October 25, 2026offcuts.work is online: one page and an application form. The closed beta comes next, and I am looking for the first makers.
- NewApply for the closed beta on the home page: four short questions, then one click in the mail to confirm.Site
