Hello friends,

We bring a biiig list of changes today as well. A few features, multiple fixes, and quite some refactors.

Big changes

Coming soon

We started work on dashboard-wide filters. They are coming along nicely.
The initial iteration will have the date filters where you'll be able to select pre-set dates like today, last 7 days, last 30 days and more.
With time we'll push support for test and drop-down filters as well.

Work on the configurable dynamic filters is well under way too. Besides adding filterable to your fields, you'll be able to customize almost everything about that filter; the label, icon, type, conditions, suggestions and the actual query that's being done.
This will give you so much more control over how you want to customize the experience.

We are preparing Avo to work with advanced multi-tenancy scenarios.
The use cases are so advanced that we even found a routing bug in Rails itself 🀯. It's fixed now, don't worry.

We have quite a few other suprises in stock, so keep close.

Paul is still on vacation

We miss Paul. You might as well. We hope he's having fun.
That's why he was so quiet on the channels lately.

But don't worry, Gabriel and I are working double-time to catch up.

Friendly.rb special guest

Tomorrow we'll announce another stellar speaker to the lineup.
We still have a few tickets available and a few speaker slots as well , so send in your CFP.
