Active development

What we're building this month

Active builds this week and through the rest of Q2 2026 (June 30). Items marked Committed carry a firm by-date; the rest are best-effort within the same window.

Committed · By June 30, 2026

Migration-discount onboarding flow

Walking the first switchers through the proof-of-prior-subscription upload — tightening the validation feedback and the post-approval Stripe-coupon hand-off so transferring from Pilotbase, MyFBO, or Flight Circle takes under five minutes.

For: organizations switching from FSP, Pilotbase, AircraftClubs, or Flight Circle

Committed · By June 30, 2026

Dispatch-receipt feedback loop

Refining the auto-generated USAF-style dispatch receipt — single and double-up landscape print modes — based on direct front-desk feedback.

For: USAF aero clubs and flight schools that print receipts

Plain-English help copy across admin settings

Every admin toggle, mode picker, and threshold gets descriptive inline guidance so configuring your org never requires a support call.

For: admins configuring an org for the first time

QuickBooks Online error-visibility improvements

Clearer triage when an invoice push fails — per-attempt history, suggested fixes, and one-click retry from the integration dashboard.

For: flight schools and clubs using QuickBooks Online sync

Recurring dues edge-case hardening

Cleaner handling for mid-cycle joins, partial periods, paused members, and pro-rated catch-up so the dues cron stays honest in messy real-world situations.

For: flying clubs with monthly dues

Standby waitlist enhancements

Optional per-pilot flight-rules preferences so an instrument-current pilot can opt into weather-cancel cascades while VFR-only pilots stay out.

For: schools and clubs with mixed VFR/IFR rosters

Committed · By June 30, 2026

Onboarding wizard polish

Initial-setup steps for fuel pricing, receipt header, auto-charge opt-in, and statement descriptor — so a new org is ready for billing out of the box.

For: first-time admins setting up a new org

Up next

Up next

Targeted for Q3 2026 (July through September). Sequence may shift based on real customer demand more than internal preference.

Refund flow for charged flights

Admin-initiated full or partial refund directly through Hobbstack with automatic Stripe reversal and a matching credit line on the member's account.

For: schools and clubs collecting payments through Hobbstack

Optional platform fee for centralized payments

Orgs that want to pass a small processing fee to members can configure one — Stripe routes the fee separately, the org's net stays the same.

For: orgs passing processing costs to members

Customizable role templates

Save your org's own role templates beyond the built-in eight so permissions match exactly how your operation runs.

For: orgs with non-standard staffing or volunteer-led clubs

Native iOS and Android app exploration

Evaluating a thin native shell over the existing PWA to enable richer background sync and push notifications on iOS, where browser APIs are limited.

Exploring

Exploring

Longer-term items we're thinking about without a firm timeline. Listed here for transparency, not as a guarantee.

In-app messaging between members

Message your CFI and other members at your club or org without trading phone numbers — direct messages, instructor-student threads, and dispatch-tied conversations stay inside the platform, with web-push notifications so a new message reaches you even when the app isn't open.

For: members who don't want their personal number floating around the club roster

Multi-currency support

Orgs operating outside USD can configure their base currency, with Stripe payouts in the local denomination and per-currency reporting.

For: operations outside the United States

Enterprise SSO and SAML

Single sign-on for collegiate aviation programs and corporate flight departments that require identity-provider integration.

For: collegiate aviation programs and corporate flight departments

Enterprise email white-label

Send transactional emails from your org's own custom domain — branded sender, your DNS, your reputation.

For: orgs that need member-facing email to come from their domain

Background sync on native mobile

True offline-first background sync once mobile platforms expose the APIs to make it reliable end-to-end.

A note on this list

This roadmap is honest about what we're working on and what we're still figuring out. Items move between sections as scope firms up. If something here is gating a decision for your school, tell us — we adjust prioritization based on real customer demand more than internal sequencing.

We don't commit to dates we can't hit. Our pricing is transparent today and will stay transparent. Our independence is the source of that — see About for the long version.
