Work is going well on Avo 3

We worked a lot on the internals these past weeks making it more dependable and maintainable in the long run. Next, we're adding ways to extend the functionality from the outside using plugins.

Nested records on new

We published a new guide on adding nested records on the create view. That was requested a lot from users, and we might support it in Avo 3. Until then you can manually add it using this recipe.
Docs: https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/recipes/nested-records-when-creating.html

Keep the feedback coming

Don't forget to send us your feedback for Avo 3. Let us know your pain points. Also, anytime you have one of those "darn it, it's so difficult to do this in Avo" moments, just write to us.
