Contacting a Seller Becomes a Thread, and Search Covers the Whole Catalogue

Contacting a seller is now a thread both sides can reply to, a low rating opens that thread instead of posting straight to a listing, and post purchase follow ups ask one question you can answer with a single tap. Search and filters cover the whole catalogue, the homepage is rebuilt around reviewed and recommended listings, and sellers get a suggested price band, a category picker that reads the description they typed, and decimal prices. Accounts now say whether you are buying, selling, or both. Plus Retell flows as a product type, versioned legal documents with an email when they change, and profile backgrounds for everyone.

TL;DR
  • Contacting a seller opens a thread both sides can reply to on a private link, and your email address is no longer passed along in seller mail.
  • A low rating opens that thread with the seller first, instead of going straight to the listing as a public review.
  • Marketplace search and filters now cover the whole catalogue, and stale index rows no longer hide listings from browse.
  • Sellers get a suggested price band computed from comparable live listings, and a category picker that pre fills from the description they already wrote.
  • Accounts carry a role: pick buying, selling, or both during onboarding, and request a change later from your account.
  • The homepage is rebuilt, led by reviewed and recommended listings and a redesigned latest updates block.

Sigrix v0.9.7 is about what happens between people. Buying and selling on a marketplace is not a vending machine transaction, and until now the platform treated it like one. A buyer could send a seller a message and never hear back in the same place. A seller could get a one star rating with no idea what went wrong. This release turns those dead ends into conversations, and then makes the catalogue behind them easier to search.

A thread, not a relay

The seller contact relay is now a real thread. Message a seller and you get a private link where both sides can reply, so a question about a listing does not end after one email. Your email address stays with Sigrix rather than being handed to the seller, and every page now resolves who is actually looking at it, so what you see on a storefront matches your signed in state.

A low rating routes into that thread. Rate a purchase poorly and you are offered a conversation with the seller before anything is published on the listing. Most bad ratings are a setup problem or a misunderstanding about scope, and both are fixable. If they are not fixable, the public review is still there.

Post purchase follow ups changed shape too. The email now asks a single question you can answer with one tap, rather than pointing you at a form. Reviews and comments take rich text and show author imagery, any comment can be reported for moderation, and follower and following lists are now visible for every seller.

Publishing tells you what it knows

Sellers used to guess at price. Now the publish flow suggests a band, computed from comparable listings that are actually live on Sigrix, and an admin can retune the advice as the catalogue grows. The category picker pre fills from the description you have already typed, the category itself is now optional rather than a hard gate, and prices can carry decimals instead of rounding to whole units.

The publish start page moves to its redesigned layout for prompts, products and image prompts. Image prompt covers get a composed picker with nine worked examples on the form. Cover images downscale in the browser before upload, so a large master no longer stalls or fails on the way up. The publish gate re checks the deliverable at submit and narrows the blocking scan, so fewer valid listings get held back for the wrong reason.

Retell voice flows join n8n workflows as a publishable product. Import the flow, and credentials are scrubbed on the way in for both formats.

Two publishing frustrations from v0.9.6 are fixed: a listing returned for corrections is editable again rather than opening read only, and a failed publish run now says what failed instead of reporting "Run incomplete".

Payout setup is easier to find, a stuck Stripe onboarding can be started over, and sellers are told about missing payout setup before they hit a submit error rather than after.

Search that covers everything

Marketplace search and filters now run against the whole catalogue rather than a partial view. Behind that, index rows resolve through both stores and stale entries heal themselves, so a listing that used to go missing from browse or error the grid now simply appears.

The homepage is rebuilt. It leads with reviewed and recommended listings, drawn from a curation console that feeds real surfaces rather than sitting in a dashboard, and the latest updates block is redesigned. Every platform a seller picks now has a marketplace hub to land in, and an image prompt's platform is correctable after publishing.

Buying, selling, or both

Accounts now carry a role. New members pick during onboarding whether they are here to buy, to sell, or to do both, and the interface shows what applies to that choice. If you started as a buyer and want to sell, you can request the change from your account and an admin applies it.

Presence

Storefront covers can be repositioned, with a preview of how the sellers hub will crop the image before you save. Every profile gets a background, shown in the author card, with an emoji picker for people who would rather not upload anything. The account dashboard shows live figures instead of placeholders. Profile completeness now names what is missing rather than only scoring you, with a live character counter on the bio and the expertise tag minimum shown at the field.

Seller cards across the site show real like totals and real listing counts, with skills counted as listings, and the listing page seller block shows live figures too.

Trust, written down

Legal documents are now versioned and edited properly: two admins approve a change, the diff is reviewed before publish, history is kept, and an email goes out when a published document changes. Data retention wording in the privacy policy has been updated to match what the code actually does, and the Google Calendar integration has its own OAuth privacy disclosure page. A new /vision page sets out publicly what Sigrix is for and what it guarantees.

Elsewhere

The plugin feed introduced in v0.9.6 now emits a manifest conforming to Agent Plugins v1.0.0, so more tools can read it. Blog subscribers get an email when a new post publishes. A System theme preference follows your device everywhere rather than only on some pages.

We also fixed dark mode on persona and MCP server pages, a settings page that flipped the whole site to dark, a header that overflowed between 901px and 1086px, like and save buttons returning 404 on products and skills, saved products and skills not counting toward the welcome quest, missing covers on crew and agent detail pages, storefronts 404ing on a storage hiccup, an editor that deleted the automation stack disclosure it had just imported, an image builder that pruned legacy parameters, draft submit and bulk actions routing to the wrong place, an empty status write that could unpublish a live listing, the "On this page" rail not covering update pages, and an email that promised a reply to an address that cannot receive one.

★ Lab

Crew publishing stays with founding sellers ahead of general availability, and the crew builder's silent failures are now surfaced rather than swallowed, so a step that does not take tells you why. AI Workforce remains experimental. The plugin feed continues its staged rollout, and the Agent Plugins v1.0.0 manifest it now emits is new, so tools reading it may need updating.

Why it matters

Most marketplace software treats a sale as the end of a relationship. Money moves, a file is delivered, and if something is wrong the only channel left is a public one star review. That is bad for everyone. The buyer does not get their problem solved. The seller loses a rating over something they would have fixed in five minutes. And the next buyer reads a review about a setup issue rather than about the product.

Giving buyer and seller a shared thread, and routing a low rating into it before it becomes public, is not about hiding criticism. Reviews still publish. It is about making sure a public review is the outcome of a conversation rather than a substitute for one.

The publishing changes come from the same instinct. A seller staring at an empty price field is guessing, and guessing badly is expensive on both sides: priced too high and nothing sells, priced too low and the work is not worth doing. Advice computed from listings that are actually live is more useful than a pricing guide, because it reflects this catalogue rather than the market in general. The same applies to the category picker reading a description that has already been written. The information was already in the form. Asking for it twice was our problem, not the seller's.

And search now covering the whole catalogue is the unglamorous prerequisite for all of it. A listing that cannot be found does not sell, however good the conversation would have been.
