Hey everyone π
We have a few quality-of-life improvements for this release and many bug fixes.

Yaro released a podcast episode with Amanda Perino about Rails World. Bookmark the page. I think you'll see something cool there soon.
Lucian ran a test to see if there's more value in having two newsletters (Code and Content) separately. I think folks voted for the "one for all" strategy.
There's still fantastic content, from cool snippets to what's happening in the community, so subscribe if you haven't.
Friendly is coming along so nicely! We booked most of the main speakers and kept a slot for lightning talks. So stay close for announcements in the following weeks.
We still have eight more sponsorship spots next to Andy Croll and Flagrant, so if you have a Ruby product or company and want to support a cool event, come check us out.
Avo 3 is coming along nicely. Some of our beta testers have pushed it to production already. If you want to see a live Avo 3 app, check avodemo.com.
Next week Yaro and I will hang out at RailsSaas in Athens, so if you want to spend a lovely weekend on a Greek island with us, send us a message.
That's about it for this week.
Thank you for being awesome!
Adrian and Paul

I just want to thank all our contributors. Avo wouldn't be what it is today without them.

This week we've had tremendous contributions from Jim, Stephen, and Roman. Thank you!
We will send over the Avo 3 closed beta instructions this week. Unfortunately, we went into a deep rabbit hole on updating and reorganizing the docs, so you know how to get the best of Avo 3.
That is why we've been a bit laggy on the chat and repo. We really want to ship Avo 3, fix those nasty bugs, make the API the best possible, and properly launch Avo 3 publicly so we can get back to the regular release schedule.
https://docs.avohq.io/3.0/avo-3.html
We published the new and only Community Sponsorship package, where all sponsors get all the value. There are only 9 spots left, so reach out if you have a Ruby product or company and you'd like to support the community.
Thank you for all your support and contributions βοΈ

Another hefty release today. We broke a few things, fixed a few things, and released cool features.

Make sure you check your visible field option. It's going to be executed on the create and update actions, so when you create or save a record. So if you're doing some kind of check for visibility there based on the actual record, please check it out.
We are now enforcing the view_component gem with a version of 2.54 or higher in order to have view_component 3.0 working, so ensure that your app works with 2.54.
We have a few PRs that are easy to tackle and a few where we need help, so check them out and if you have some time we'd love to have your contributions.
https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc+label%3A%22Help+wanted%22
We received about 20 requests for trying out the new Avo version 3. We'll finish up the docs and then start rolling out the closed beta.
I loved going to PLRUG and Visuality.pl to speak to other ruby developers about Avo. I think that presentation not only made it click for them on how Avo works but I also highlighted a few cool things they can do with it.
So, I'm open on doing more demos like that one in your meetup, conference, or software house.
We know that we were in a bit of a radio silence about Friendly.rb after the announcement of Rails World, but we're happy to say that we're still going forward with our plans in throwing the best conference where you want to go this fall.
We have some cool talks prepared, nice activities, and the best swag.

We're still working on Avo 3, but we've been taking a bit slow with the Easter season. We'll have a signup link up o the website soon.
Next week on April 20th I'll be giving a talk in Warsaw at PLRUG about building tools faster with Rails and Avo. I'd love to get to meet you and talk about Ruby, Rails, and others.
The Short Ruby Newsletter is not that short, we all saw that. This week, Lucian tried something new and he's splitting it up into two editions. Check it out on https://shortruby.com
Yaro has prepared a great video on omniauth with multiple providers so go click that "Notify me" button on his page.
Greg Molnar has started a new newsletter "Rails tricks" where he sends out a new Rails trick every week. This week he even had me there to showcase an Avo tip so you better sign up at https://railstricks.com
That's about it for this week. We're visiting family and we took it slow, but we'll pick up the pace next week.
Thanks for being awesomeβοΈ

The early bird tickets are nearly sold out, but we still have a few supporter tickets (just a few left). The supporters will receive slightly special swag, can pick their seat, and have our everlasting "Thank you"s for being so generous.

Lucian is preparing something cool with the Short Ruby brand. I can't get into too many details but make sure you subscribe to keep up with the news
https://shortruby.com
Yaro pushed out another cool video this week. "Active Record Encryption usage and troubleshooting".
https://youtube.com/@SupeRails
Avo 3 is going well. I spoke about what we are currently working on at the moment on the video, and we also updated the Roadmap on our website so make sure you check it out.
https://avohq.io/roadmap
Next week on April 6th, I'll be in Vilnius to speak about how to build Rails apps faster with Avo, so if you're in the area, please don't be shy; I'd love to shake a few hands and have a few beers together.
I'm also open to feedback before the meetup, so if you'd like me to approach a particular area about Avo, please let me know.
https://www.meetup.com/vilniusrb/events/292251284/
We need your help with this. I'm getting more and more requests to demo Avo to developers and teams, and I'm not sure what would be the best demo app to build. Preferably it should be a live demo and last 6-9 minutes.
So, if you have any ideas, send us a message or reply to this tweet.

We want to thank and welcome Greenhats as our newest sponsor that helps us in our journey to make the Ruby ecosystem better and easier for everyone.
https://greenhats.com/
We shipped a few improvements to our docs. Especially on the right sidebar, where we flush out more information so you can get to it faster.
https://docs.avohq.io
Yaro has a cool new live series where together with the live audience, he builds a new SaaS app. A lot of good stuff to see there, so subscribe!
https://youtube.com/@SupeRails
Lucian took over the https://rubyandrails.info app that features a lot of Ruby resources, books, communities, and more. So subscribe to the newsletter and keep an eye out for new things.
We still have some early-bird tickets available, but they are selling quickly. If you like extra perks and swag, there are a few Supporter tickets too.
We just spoke with the outdoor activities vendor, and we will have a bit of fun outside of the conference room.

We're working hard on Avo 3. We split Avo into multiple repos, and now we're figuring out how to organize them, so we have a good way to work on them and ship fast as we currently do.
We're probably going to have two paid tiers. First, we'll increase the price of the Pro package from $250 to $350 (so less than two cups of coffee per month) and introduce a new tier worth $450 with all the Pro features plus the new goodies like dynamic filters, dynamic fields, and more.
We'll also move some of the Pro features to the Community tier (free) so more folks can use them and build apps faster.
That's about it for this week.
Thanks for being awesomeβοΈ

Work on Avo 3 is going well. We stopped feature development to ensure we have everything ready for the launch. We'll share some more news next week.
I'm incredibly excited to share with you Friendly.rb. With a focus on community, we're creating a cozy conference with about 100-ish attendees and some of the best European speakers.
We want to be the perfect blend of learning and relaxation, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere to catch up with your friends or make new ones in person.
The first 30 tickets are discounted as Early Bird (only 13 left).
Xavier Noria and Elena TΔnΔsoiu are our first confirmed speakers, with a few more to follow.
The CFP is open, so if you want to share your knowledge with the Ruby community, this is the perfect time to apply.
We have limited sponsor spots available, so if you think your company is interested, contact us at sponsorship@friendlyrb.com.
All I will say is that I'm starting to block an hour every week to check out all the goodies in Short Ruby.
Yaro from SupeRails put out unique Hotwire content and has a new "Reverse engineering" series. Go check it out!
That's about it for this week.
Thanks for being awesomeβοΈ
