Guys check out glideapps.com/2021
Amazing!
I think @Darren_Murphy makes a good point. I think you guys are pretty good about showcasing new major features, even though most of us find them first. I agree with Darren, that it would be nice to see just a short notice about any bug fixes or some of the minor things that were put in with a production release. I think a lot of times bugs are fixed, but nobody realizes that and may still be trying to work around issues that may have been fixed for a long time. I realize that commenting and documenting changes, as a coder, is time consuming, but itās nice to know what happened or be able to know what changes may be causing new issues. Thereās been a handful of times that things have changed in my app due to a glide update, and I find out about it second hand from a user.
I know most companies donāt publish release notes anymore and it can be a lot of overhead. Heck, sometimes at my job, Iāll put in a code change without documenting it because it was quick, easy, and a very minor change. Looking at Googleās app store, most apps just post canned release notes that donāt tell you much of anything other than āsquashed a few bugsā. Iām in-different either way, but sometimes itās nice to know a brief summary of what was changed or fixedā¦no matter how minor. The fancy announcement can always come later.
Well, I have to admit that Iāve never seen that Product Updates page, which is embarrassing. Not sure how Iāve missed that. Butā¦ what Jeff said
I think itās a bit new
Jack,
Given the extent of Glide and an intentionally small staff, you guys are try hard to let developers know what is happening.
There are, however, a couple of disciplines and automatic mechanisms you might use that would leave tracks about what has happened without being a large drain on time:
Every document (including Videos) should have the date they were last modified associated with them. Knowing this when looking through a wide variety of documents can help a reader understand the context of the documents. Knowing that a document was last worked on a week ago versus two years ago contains a lot of information for the reader.
Using your source control system to produce a log of information about changes including a one-line explanation of the change by the developer is another way to catalog evidence of changes.
OMG!
@forsdick if you look at the bottom of the glide library documentation, there is a ālast updatedā notice if that helps.
What I call a state of the art websiteā¦very G20!
+1
Agree
Glide has posted some new vacancies. Some of the vacancies easy job tasksā¦go for it guys!
And it has an RSS feed, so you can keep up with each post ā¦
Your not alone. I saw the other one but not this one. The view that allows us to display info on a tablet or pc and be able to edit that view will be a game changer.
Iām so exciting about the new GE design! In the video I saw some sneak peeks that will be so easy and funnier to buildā¦ Iād love to see it asap
Yes! Really looking forward to the dashboard @Lucas_Pires.
Sorry - not getting round to this yet @McJagger. But Iāve brought it up. Itās still on my list.
The new date picker is a thing of beauty!
Will it be possible to disable dates in the past for certain scenarios? i.e. when making a booking?
I donāt see these update on my end yetā¦ have they launched?
Some, but not all. Have you switched to the new view yet?
