Owlet Weekly Update (Week of June 21)

June 22nd, 2021

Welcome to another Owlet Weekly Update, folks! Several of y'all are boarding the new reference docs hype train and Cancer szn is upon us, so needless to say... we're deep in our feels. We attempt to unpack all of this below! 🚂

As many of you will start to see in your dashboards, we're ramping up our migration onto the new and improved docs design that I refuse to shut up about. We've written an FAQ that provides background on the aforementioned hype train (with a subsequent clarification that it is not just a "hype" train but in fact a train filled with substantial improvements to your users' documentation experience). (toot toot!)

This release continues the momentum of this train and brings lots of polish for various OpenAPI edge cases, restores the Health Check feature, re-indents your Table of Contents, and other little fixes and design tweaks. And good news for all of our Safari 13 users—we've made the sidebar legible again (our deepest apologies to all four of you).

Now as you may know, the arrival of Cancer szn also coincides with Juneteenth and Pride Month. Here at ReadMe, we've been having a lot of important conversations about these powerful and ongoing movements for Black and LGBTQ+ lives. We've been reading these pieces on the origins of Pride and the history of Juneteenth. And we're donating to several groups that are doing the important work of supporting Black trans folks—please join us!

  • Trans Justice Funding Project (a community-led funding initiative focused on supporting trans justice groups that makes annual grants with the support of trans justice activists)
  • Black Trans Femmes in the Arts (resources to Black trans artists; this particular demographic has been really hard hit during COVID-19)
  • Marsha P. Johnson Institute (founded in the name of the Black trans woman who was one of the people behind the Stonewall Riots)
  • Princess Janae Place (supports trans and gender non-binary and non-conforming folks experiencing housing insecurity in NY state)
  • The Okra Project (focuses on feeding Black trans people)
  • Trans Lifeline (provides trans peer support in the form of a grassroots hotline and microgrants to folks in crisis)

Enormous shoutouts to the Black and queer folks at ReadMe that put these resources together. Happy Pride and Happy Juneteenth, folks!
