Migrate billing to an event-sourced ledger

maya k. · platform · edited 2h ago

Today, invoice state is mutated in place, which makes refunds and proration hard to audit. Moving to an append-only ledger gives us a replayable source of truth and unblocks usage-based pricing.

AI summary

Most reviewers favor freezing the schema first; the dissent centers on refund replay edge-cases worth a follow-up spike.

the problem

GitHub wasn't built for this.

Issues and PRs give you a comment thread, not structured feedback from the people who need to weigh in.

Comment threads can't hold a decision.

By comment sixty, the issue is archaeology: “+1”s, nits, and lost threads, with the actual decision buried somewhere in the middle. Inkling turns the same review into a handful of questions people answer.

Only people with repo access can weigh in.

The people who should shape the call — customers, partners, another team, an exec — usually can't even see the issue. Inkling shares the same doc as a scoped link, so you widen the circle without handing out repo access.

the inkling process

/ click a step to see it work
step 01 · ingest

Start from what you already have.

Write in Markdown, paste an RFC, or import a PDF — or let your agent pull a GitHub issue straight in over MCP. Inkling parses it into a clean doc, with headings, code blocks, and embeds intact.

the use cases

/ wherever a doc needs a decision

RFCs & design docs _

Turn a proposal into a short list of decisions. Reviewers answer the questions that matter instead of leaving scattered nits.

Customer & user research _

Give customers the context to weigh in early. A scoped link gathers structured input you can take to the roadmap.

Internal decisions _

Make the call without the meeting. Async, attributed answers replace the messy single-issue comment pile.

Enablement & training _

Build a resource that teaches and checks understanding in the same place — and shows you where it landed.
