How Hemma is built — in the open.
What we're focused on right now — not a promise, a snapshot.
What Hemma is focused on right now. Not a timeline. Not a promise. A snapshot.
Going through every page, every state, desktop and mobile, and tightening what's there before adding more. The bar: page transitions feel done, clicks acknowledge themselves, loading states show from millisecond one, empty states are actionable, no raw error states reach users.
The asset processing flow was the first chapter - the pipeline that handles your incoming emails was rewritten end-to-end as a durable state machine, with explicit recovery surfaces when something goes wrong. More chapters underway.
The current budget screen does the basics, but it doesn't link amounts back to the invoices and quotes that produced them. If a number looks wrong, you can't drill down to the source from this screen. The Workbench redesign fixes that: a two-pane layout where the left side is your budget hierarchy with a lens toggle (estimated, budgeted, quoted, invoiced) and the right side is the selected node as a full document - linked quote and invoice line items, inline correction, summary signals at a glance.
It lands in two places: the in-app screen you'll use day to day, and the public demo at /demo/know-your-budget where visitors can try it without signing up.
Hemma already knows your deadlines. Soon it will email you when one is approaching, and check in when you've been quiet for a while. Configurable per notification type - at-event, daily digest, or weekly overview.
A progressive onboarding experience after signup. Not a forced tour - contextual help that appears when it's actually useful, and fades away once you've got it.

For homeowners managing more than one build, or for professionals helping multiple families at once.
