See you in Warsaw? 🇵🇱

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.

Short Ruby Newsletter

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

SupeRails content is 👌

Yaro has prepared a great video on omniauth with multiple providers so go click that "Notify me" button on his page.

Rails Tricks

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 awesome✌️

Vilnius Ruby Meetup on April 6th

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/

What would be a fantastic Avo live demo in 6 minutes?

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.
https://twitter.com/avo_hq/status/1640635496731758593

That's about it for this week.

We're working hard on Avo 3

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 awesome✌️

Hello buddies,

We have an excellent release for Avo 2 today. 5 new features that I know I have wanted to bring in for a long time, so let's get started

🎸 Features

• Authorization for records reordering
• callable tab names will enable you to use those translation strings on your tab names.
• manually load resources is super handy for those setups that might error out on boot-time. Docs
• find record method. It will enable you to choose how Avo finds a record. Particularly useful if you use something like the prefixed_ids gem or when you change the to_param method. Docs
• dynamic tags field will enable you to create richer dropdowns with AJAX support. Perfect for those action fields. Docs: fetch_values_from option

🐛 Bug Fixes

• VisibleItems view gets wrongly memoized

💡 Refactor

• By default have text fields convert ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8
• add Avo extensions and TestBuddy

Avo 3

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.

We're putting together a European conference

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 Tănăsoiu 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.

This week's Short Ruby is 🔥🔥🔥

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 is killing it

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.
