Hi! Can you change our opening hours on the site?

Also, the homepage photo is old, can you use the one from our About page?

Sorry for the late message 🙈
Rounds
Studio Nord
Maja changed the opening hours herself. The photo and the phone number are written down for your next round.

What just happened?
The next morning, Studio Nord's change log in Rounds: what went live, and what waits for you.
studio-nord.siChange log
Last night
Live
Maja changed the opening hours herself
A text you marked as hers: she edited it on the page and it went live. Nothing for you to review.
Next round
Maja asked for the About page's photo on the homepage
She pointed at the photo and said, in her own words, which one goes there instead. Written down for your next round.
Next round
Maja sent the right phone number for the footer
01 234 56 78, in place of the wrong one. The footer is not marked as hers, so this waits for your next round too.
Coming up
Pull request
Round 3: both requests in one pull request
You review it and merge it. Apart from the texts you marked as hers, nothing reaches the live site without you.
See it in action
What your client does on her own site, and what reaches you.
- Maja opens the panel on her own site: a shortcut and her password.
- She points at the opening hours and changes them right on the page.
- For something bigger, she describes it in her own words.
- Her change goes live, and the rest waits for your next round as one pull request.
One panel, two people
You stay in charge of the code. Your client stays in charge of their words.
You, the developer
Requests you can act on
- Written down, on the element they mean. Never a screenshot in a chat.
- Batched into rounds at the pace you agree, not a trickle of messages.
- Each change a pull request with the request attached. Nothing goes live without your merge.
Your client
A website they can look after
- A shortcut and a password open the panel on their own site. No accounts, no tickets.
- Texts you mark as theirs they change right on the page, any time, for free.
- Anything else they point at and describe in their own words.
How it works
Point and describe
On their own site, your client presses a shortcut, enters their password, points at the thing and writes what they want. No tickets, no screenshots in a chat.
Collected into rounds
Requests wait for the next round, at the pace you agreed.
Delivered as pull requests
Each change arrives written down: the page, the element, the request and a proposed change, as a pull request you review. Nothing reaches the live site without you.
Rounds for APIs
The same care for the code behind the site
Providers retire API versions, shut down models and rename what their SDKs export. Rounds for APIs reads a site's own repository and shows where its code still uses something deprecated, retired or outdated.
First providers
- Stripe
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- Vercel AI SDK
- Next.js
What it reads
Your site's repository, through the Rounds GitHub App: package lists, lockfiles, configuration and source. The report writes nothing, and Rounds keeps no copy of the files.
What you get
Every finding, where it is in your code, and a link to the source it rests on: a deprecation notice, a security advisory, a migration guide or release notes.
How a change arrives
Only where the fix is mechanical – a patch or minor upgrade, a rename, a retired model to its named successor – and only with your recorded permission, for that change and the files it names. It arrives as a pull request, never a push, and your repository's own CI checks it.
What it never does
Rounds never merges, never leaves a branch without a pull request, and never touches workflows, .env files or build images. It reads only the names and results of your checks, never their logs. No one at ScAIentist® looks at your code, except when you ask us in writing to help with a specific problem, and then only the files that problem concerns.
The report is built, and opens to everyone when accounts arrive; they are on their way. Letting Rounds make changes is built too, and will be switched on first for a few design partners.

What a round is, and is not
A round is
- A batch of changes, delivered together as one review.
- Written down: what, where and why, in your client's words.
- Paced: the next one opens on a date you both know.
A round is not
- A hotline: faults are fixed for free, outside the rounds.
- Unlimited development: a redesign or a new feature is quoted separately.
- A way into your code: clients never get access to the repository.
Built to be trusted with client sites
Pull requests, not pushes
Every change is a pull request on your repository. You review it and you merge it.
No keys for clients
Clients get a password for the panel on their site, never access to your code or your hosting.
Hosted in the EU
Rounds runs in Frankfurt, and requests are stored in an EU database run by ScAIentist®.
Signed-in apps too
For internal tools, isolated mode seals the panel off: it never acts with the user's rights and sends only what is needed to find the element.
Questions
Do my clients need a GitHub account?
No. They get a password for the panel on their own site. GitHub is only where you review and merge.
Which websites does it work with?
Sites whose code lives in a GitHub repository, such as Next.js and other static or server-rendered sites. WordPress is not supported yet.
Can a client break the site?
No. They can only change the texts you mark as theirs, and every other change is a pull request you review first.
What about my own mistakes?
A fault in your work is fixed for free and never waits for a round. Rounds are for changes, not for repairs.
Where is the data kept?
Rounds runs in Frankfurt, and requests and the change log are kept in an EU database run by ScAIentist®. The privacy notice says exactly what is kept and for how long.
What does it cost to try?
Every site can start on the yearly plan, which is free. You start through checkout: a card is saved, and nothing is charged on the free plan. You move to a faster pace only when your client needs one.
