Version 1.0.0 — July 2026
This is the first public release of SimplyConnecting. Below is a full overview of what the platform can do today.
- Each customer (tenant) works in their own private, isolated workspace, reachable through their own workspace URL.
- Four types of accounts are supported: platform administrators, workspace administrators, regular users, and external users (e.g. freelancers or clients) with limited access.
- Workspace administrators can restrict regular users so they only see the projects they're actually a member of, instead of every project in the workspace.
- Organizations (clients, partners, or internal departments) can be created and managed, with users linked to the right organization.
- New users can be invited by e-mail and set their own password when they first log in.
- User accounts can be edited at any time — name, organization, role, and active/inactive status.
- Every workspace has a license with a maximum number of user seats. Reactivating a deactivated user is automatically checked against the available seats, so a workspace can never accidentally exceed what it's licensed for.
- Platform administrators have a separate management area to create, view, and update workspaces, and to manage each workspace's license.
- Files can be uploaded, listed, and deleted within the platform.
- Projects can be created and managed per organization, with a defined start and end date.
- Two contract types are supported: Hours & Tariff (billed by actual hours worked) and Fixed Price with a weekly-hours budget.
- Fixed Price contracts automatically calculate the available budget based on working days (Monday to Friday), so estimates don't count weekends.
- Project members can be added, updated, or removed, with consumed hours automatically recalculated as work is logged.
- Each project has its own overview showing linked contracts, members, and timesheets.
- Tasks can be created within a project, assigned to a team member, and given a due date and status.
- An overview lists all tasks, filterable per project or per assigned user.
- Meeting notes can be created per project, including location, date, and description.
- Meeting notes can be appended to afterwards, so follow-up points can be added without creating a new note each time.
- Users can log hours against a project and contract.
- A weekly timesheet view is available, listed per user, per project, or per contract.
- Logged hours can be verified by the user themselves, and then verified or rejected by their manager.
- Verification and rejection can be done one entry at a time, or in bulk for faster processing.
- Time entries can be deleted if logged incorrectly.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) can be enabled using an authenticator app (compatible with Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator), including one-time recovery codes if a device is lost.
- Users who forget their password can request a reset link by e-mail and set a new password themselves.
- Users can change their own password from their account settings.
- Users are proactively warned in advance when their password is about to expire.
- Workspace administrators can trigger a password reset for another user directly from that user's profile — the user receives a reset e-mail and must set a new password before logging in again.
- Login sessions stay secure and refresh automatically in the background, without requiring users to log in again unnecessarily.
- The application is available in English and Dutch, with the ability to switch language.
- A public landing page and FAQ page (English and Dutch) introduce the platform to new visitors.
- Platform administrators have access to system-wide statistics and activity logs for troubleshooting and oversight.
- The platform now runs on Linux hosting for improved reliability and performance.
