Launch ops: Freemius products, repo rename, domains, update-worker catalog, .org SVN

[ifahimreza]

Launch ops tracking — user + ~1h assist (runs in parallel; Freemius product creation ideally lands before A5 so real IDs ship in the release zips)

External/manual tasks for the Outbees → Mailyard Pro launch. Code ships dormant-safe without these (both Freemius inits no-op on blank credentials), but licensing/updates only go live once they're done.

Freemius dashboard

• Create parent product Mailyard (slug mailyard, free, add-ons enabled)
• Create add-on Mailyard Pro (slug mailyard-pro, parent = Mailyard, paid plans + 3-day no-payment trial; confirm pricing)
• Paste the four values into code: MAILYARD_FS_ID/MAILYARD_FS_PUBLIC_KEY (mailyard/includes/freemius.php) and MAILYARD_PRO_FS_ID/MAILYARD_PRO_FS_PUBLIC_KEY (mailyard-pro/includes/freemius.php)
• Upload mailyard-pro-0.1.0.zip as the premium deployment artifact

GitHub / infra

• Rename repo plugpressco/outbees → plugpressco/mailyard-pro (redirects preserve issues/remotes; update local remotes anyway)
• Update PlugPress HQ board cards + any issues referencing Outbees
• plugin-update-workers: remove outbees from catalog.json (self-hosted update channel is dead for this product)

Domains / marketing

• mailyard.co: /docs, /support, Pro/pricing page (code + readme link to these)
• 301 outbees.co → mailyard.co
• Update site copy: retire the "no Pro version, ever" promise per the A3 framing ("everything in Mailyard stays free — Pro adds broadcast campaigns")

WordPress.org

• Release free Mailyard 1.1.0 via SVN: Freemius SDK + == External services == disclosure + rewritten Pro positioning — expect reviewer attention on the SDK addition
• After Ship 2: 1.2.0 release with new screenshots (top-level menu)

Status after Ships 1+2 (all code phases done): everything below is now on you — code ships dormant-safe until then.

Review/merge queue (in order):

1. outbees #12 (rebrand, → main) then #13 (shell mode, stacked) — tag v0.2.0 after both
2. mailyard #9 (Freemius parent) then #10 (shell, stacked) — free can release straight as 1.2.0

Freemius dashboard: create parent Mailyard (slug mailyard, free, add-ons on) + add-on Mailyard Pro (slug mailyard-pro, paid + 3-day no-payment trial), then paste: MAILYARD_FS_ID/MAILYARD_FS_PUBLIC_KEY → mailyard/includes/freemius.php; MAILYARD_PRO_FS_ID/_PUBLIC_KEY + _PARENT_ID/_PARENT_KEY → mailyard-pro/includes/freemius.php. Upload mailyard-pro-0.2.0.zip as the premium deployment.

Also: in-browser visual QA of the unified dashboard (curl can't click) · repo rename outbees → mailyard-pro · mailyard.co /docs /support + pricing page, 301 outbees.co · remove outbees from plugin-update-workers catalog.json · .org SVN release with fresh screenshots (top-level menu).

Heads-up from the 2026-07-20 session: the Freemius dashboard section here is now moot for free Mailyard — Freemius was fully removed from the free plugin (commits 0c95827, 7481ed9); if Pro needs licensing later, that wiring lives entirely in mailyard-pro. The GitHub/infra, domains, and WP.org items are still yours. Leaving open as the ops tracker.
