What's new

Users have a wonderful ability to find all of the bugs and issues developers miss. With all that feedback, we have been very busy getting them sorted.

• Many UI improvements and bug fixes.
• Many new tests for the new UI features.
• Many backend updates and improvements.

We are very excited to release the new user interface. It isn't perfect, it isn't complete but it is good enough to start letting the users provide feedback and guidance. We didn't slow development speed over the Christmas and New Year period, so there is a lot to share.

• New user interface released to collect feedback.
• Major speed improvements across the board.
• New and improved widgets to save the users time.
• Position importing EA improvements.

With everything slowing down over Christmas and no pressing bugs upsetting our users, we have put all of our resources into the new UI, which we are anticipating releasing early next year. There will not be a new deployment until the New Year. See you then!

• Pushing to get the new User Interface ready.

Even though most resources are focused on the new user interface, we are still improving what you can see right now. Widget tweaks, speed improvements and monitoring were all on the radar this week. In addition, we have really focused on writing down and codifying our design language to ensure a consistent experience across the platform.

• Continue to develop the new user interface, including refining the style guide.
• Update user widgets in preparation for new UI.
• Improved system health monitoring to better notify us when we have an issue.
• Small bug fixes and improvements.

As we come into the Christmas and New Years period, we have focused all resources on developing the new User Interface and exploring what improvements we can make. Unless there are breaking bugs, we will not do a new code deployment until in the new year. See you then!

• Continue to develop the new user interface.

Completing a major user interface overhaul isn't something that can be easily rolled out each week. It has been a hive of activity, just not a lot that you can see yet.

• Continue developing new user interface.
• Various small bug fixes and improvements.

For a long time we have been focused on ensuring that all of the features work as expected. Now we are shifting our focus onto making them look amazing.

• Start developing a style guide to overhaul the user interface.
• Improve back end update systems.
• Improve speed of first web page loading.

The best caches are stable and invisible, silently improving the user experience while doing a lot of heavy lifting. This week we migrated to a new cache system to speed up the user experience.

• Improve tag system visuals.
• Back end system migrations to new caching system.
• Further improvements to error logging.

Not every week brings new features. Sometimes you just have to focus on getting the ones you have working better and hunt those bugs down.

• Continue preparing for payment processing migration.
• Fixed bug in notification system.
• Improve logging to help identify bugs/issues.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the rich text editor to not load.

The sign up experience isn't as smooth as we would like it. Working isn't good enough, so we are getting ready to improve it.

• Begin preparations to migrate to a new payment processor.
• Back end upgrades and streamlining.
• Improve deployment testing.
