What’s changed on fueko.net

Each of these changes affects a different part of the site, but they all move in the same direction — the site is becoming more complete, covering more than just the purchase itself. It now brings together documentation, the customer account, updates, support, Perks, and Loop.

The decision that made all of this possible was moving to Polar ↗ as the primary sales platform. Polar now handles payments and purchase management, making it possible to build features that weren’t possible before.

One of the most practical changes is the new customer account. After signing in, everything important is available in one place: license keys, Perks status, and update notification settings. From there, you can also access your Polar customer portal, where you’ll find invoices, order history, and purchased products.

Perks status is one of the things you’ll find there. I’ve long wanted to create something for people who regularly support the work behind my themes — that’s how Perks came to life. After verifying your license and the site using the theme, you’ll receive a discount code for your next purchase. It’s only the beginning, but the important part was creating a foundation that can grow together with the rest of the site.

Another new addition is Loop, a view that shows what I’m currently working on. You can see which themes were updated most recently, which theme is currently being worked on, what’s next in line, and which themes are maintained outside the current update cycle.

Loop isn’t a roadmap. It doesn’t promise specific features, scope, or release dates. Priorities can change, especially when Ghost introduces changes that require immediate updates or when an important issue affects a particular theme. Its purpose is to give a transparent, single view of where every theme currently stands — instead of leaving that information scattered or hidden.

The move to Polar also has less visible, but equally important, consequences, especially for customers who previously purchased themes through ThemeForest. There are now two purchase paths: Polar and ThemeForest. Because of that, the documentation, support, and policies have been separated wherever the two systems work differently.

If you previously purchased a theme on ThemeForest, you can migrate at no additional cost. This doesn’t transfer your existing license or change your original purchase. The migration simply verifies your purchase and lets you claim a new Polar license. This gives you access to your customer account, Perks, and the new features while keeping your original ThemeForest purchase intact. Your Envato license remains valid under exactly the same terms as before.

The move also made it possible to introduce separate sales terms for purchases made through Polar. Development and staging environments don’t count toward the license limit, multilingual versions of the same website are treated as a single project, and every purchase is covered by a money-back guarantee. The support and update policies have also been rewritten to make it easier to understand what you can expect after purchasing a theme.

Documentation went through a similar shift. It’s now fully integrated with the site, making it much easier to maintain and update alongside the themes. Theme pages are also evolving from simple sales pages into more complete product pages with detailed feature descriptions, technical information, licensing details, support policies, and guidance on who each theme is designed for. This post itself belongs to that same shift — it’s part of Notes, a new space on the site.

This isn’t a finished process. Some parts are further along than others, and things will keep being refined over time. The biggest change, however, has already happened — the site now works not only before a purchase, but after it as well.
