What is Subsplash?
Subsplash Giving now syncs donations and people with Planning Center.
Subsplash runs giving, media, people and workflow tools for churches. In November it made Dashboard Home a single view across all its products, then on 10 November connected Subsplash Giving to Planning Center: transactions sync one way on a schedule or on demand, profiles sync both ways, funds are mapped, and each sync produces a report with flagged items staff can fix themselves.
What is Misskey?
Misskey 2026.11 ships: a leaner start script, and Node.js 22 no longer boots.
Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically. Node.js v22 support ends, the minimum is now 24.22.3 or 26.13.1, and NODE_OPTIONS paths now resolve from the repository root. Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.
Subsplash vs Misskey: editorial side-by-side
Subsplash
5.0COMMS
Subsplash Giving now syncs donations and people with Planning Center.
◆ Current state
Subsplash runs giving, media, people and workflow tools for churches. In November it made Dashboard Home a single view across all its products, then on 10 November connected Subsplash Giving to Planning Center: transactions sync one way on a schedule or on demand, profiles sync both ways, funds are mapped, and each sync produces a report with flagged items staff can fix themselves.
◆ Where it's heading
Recent work focuses on the church office's admin load: notes, multi-select, reconciliation, a unified home page, and now integration with the people database many churches already use. Subsplash is positioning Giving to work alongside Planning Center rather than requiring churches to replace it.
◆ Prediction
Further Planning Center links, such as events or groups, are plausible, but the entries do not indicate which comes next.
Misskey
5.0COMMS
Misskey 2026.11 ships: a leaner start script, and Node.js 22 no longer boots.
◆ Current state
Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically.

Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.
◆ Where it's heading
Misskey's last two cycles are about making servers cheaper and safer to run: tighter Sentry data-collection defaults in 2026.10, lower memory and newer Node versions in 2026.11. Each one carries a breaking requirement that admins must check before upgrading.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2026.11.x patch releases for upgrade problems, especially around custom NODE_OPTIONS and systemd units. The entries do not show what the next feature cycle will target.
