Launching UluP Spaces 3.0 — you can now use the whole app without an account

Launching v3.0 of UluP Spaces today — a visual project tool where your work lives as a map of connected nodes instead of another flat task list.

The headline change: no account required to use it. Open the app and you're straight into the real canvas — create projects, organize nodes, everything works. When you're ready to keep what you built, one click turns that session into a real account, nothing lost.

Technically this meant rethinking authentication from scratch — anonymous Supabase sessions by default, a safe path to promote them into real accounts, and a full audit of every database security rule to make sure "no account" never meant "less secure." That audit actually surfaced a structural bug that had likely been silently breaking collaboration since the feature launched — a permissions rule that checked "are you the owner, or is this public?" but never "are you an invited member?" Fixed, along with a few smaller ones.

Also shipping in 3.0: GitHub integration. Connect a repo, and its issues show up as nodes on your project map — a visual layer over your existing workflow instead of a separate place to track the same work twice.

Numbers are still small (solo indie project), but the qualitative shift since removing the signup wall has been the clearest signal I've had — people actually finish trying it instead of bouncing at a login screen.

Happy to go deep on any of the technical side if useful to anyone tackling similar friction in their own product.
