What shipped, newest first. Identity Forge is built in the open and moves most weeks.

August 2026

    Improved

    Filter domain drops by difficult letters and release order

    Expired-domain search can now exclude awkward letters or sequences and opens focused views with practical defaults. When several domains share a drop time, results follow the provider's release order instead of alphabetical order.

    Improved

    Expired-domain feeds now refresh daily

    The upcoming .com, .net, and .uk drop catalogue now refreshes automatically every day. Source timing, attribution, and observation freshness remain visible while you search and narrow the live window.

    Improved

    Every font page shows its pairings in light and dark

    Font pages in the typography library now render each specimen on a light and a dark surface side by side, and show which fonts pair well with it: curated combinations where we have them, derived suggestions where we don't, each rendered live in both faces.

    Improved

    Showcase previews got real imagery and faster loads

    The one-shot showcase on the home page now names the model that built each screen, the same-brief builds render their full imagery in the live preview, and preview images ship about ten times smaller.

  5. 4 Aug

    Improved

    Compare full pages side by side

    Every card in the inspiration gallery now opens a full-height comparison: the real site and the page an agent rebuilt from the extracted kit, scrolling together in one view. The same proof now has a section on the home page.

    Improved

    The home page kit chooser reads as a chooser

    The kit cards under the hero were nearly as large as the preview they control, so it was easy to miss that clicking one repaints the big preview below. They are now a compact strip of thumbnails directly above the preview, with the selected kit clearly marked, so choice and result sit in one view.

  2. 29 Jul

    Improved

    Kit pages show the whole system, not just swatches

    Each kit page now opens with real surfaces drawn in that kit, states what keeps it from looking generic, and lays out the palette, type scale, spacing, elevation and contrast on one board. Related kits are listed at the bottom so you can see what you are choosing between.

    Improved

    A brand exports as one document

    A brand now exports as a single handoff containing its kit alongside every layer you composed on top of it, instead of the kit on its own. The download and the API export return the same thing.

  4. 24 Jul

    Improved

    Translated articles publish as they are ready

    A translated article is now served, indexed and listed as soon as it exists, instead of waiting for every language to be finished.

    Improved

    Domain availability you can act on

    Domain checks now run against a registrar on request and show their evidence separately: registration, DNS records, and whether anyone is already ranking for the name. A name that looks free but has a live site behind it no longer reads as available.

  6. 22 Jul

    Improved

    Compare kits on a real screen

    The kit trial on the home page now shows six kits at once as an actual product surface rather than a colour strip, with search and paging, so you can see how a kit behaves on a dense screen before opening it.

  7. 21 Jul

    Improved

    Name review reworked around names, not pairs

    Client review used to repeat a card for every name and domain combination. It is now one card per name with selectable domain rows and compact evidence badges, so a shortlist of ten names reads as ten decisions.

  8. 19 Jul

    Improved

    A searchable library of design-system writing

    The articles are now a searchable registry with real kit previews embedded in them, reachable from the footer, instead of a set of pages you had to already know about.

    Improved

    Mockups in batches

    Generate mockups for several kits in one pass and browse the results as a gallery, rather than one render at a time.

  10. 4 Jul

    Improved

    A brand workspace that is never empty

    Brand work now happens on one hub with a live board of the current brand, a switcher between projects, and a direct round trip into Studio and back. A new project starts from a real kit rather than a blank page.

June 2026

    Improved

    Free and Pro, with a lifetime option

    Plans are now Free plus Pro, billed monthly, yearly or once for lifetime access. Pro opens the whole catalogue and the costly generation steps, each of which draws from a monthly allowance so a plan cannot quietly run up a bill.

Entries start at the point Identity Forge became a design kit pipeline. Before that it was a name and domain generator, and that part of its history is not itemised here.
