Owlet Weekly Update (Week of December 14)

Hello and welcome to another weekly update! To wrap up this chaotic year, we bring you Slack integration improvements and some extra coats of polish throughout the product. Oh, and good tidings, I suppose? Details below! 🎄

📘

Programming Note

Due to the upcoming extended holiday, this will be our last release of 2020! On a personal note, thanks so much (to all three? maybe four? of you) for taking the time to read these! In what was an otherwise terrible year for basically all of us, being able to regularly and publicly rave about the amazing things my team builds has been a real joy. We'll be back the week of January 4th with some very exciting news—stay tuned!

✨ New & Improved

• We’ve released some huuuuge improvements to our Slack integration with new ways to access the powerful insights that API Metrics has to offer—in the form of new slash commands and a weekly summary digest! You can access insights about your API usage like Top Users, Top Endpoints, and Recent Logs via a slash command. And if you’re too lazy to type words into Slack, the integration will post weekly summaries of your API usage into a Slack channel of your choice! 📊
• In anticipation of our sedentary lifestyles over the holidays, we’ve further slashed away at the bundles that load the project dashboard and your documentation sites. Faster load times and lighter pages for us, everyone! 🔪

🛠 Fixes & Updates

• Good news for you dashboard power users—we’ve made some UI optimizations so you can now furiously alternate between editing and reordering pages without interruptions! 🦸
• We’ve made subtle alignment tweaks to the HTTP methods throughout the project dashboard and your documentation sites. GETs, POSTs, and PUTs have never looked better! 📏
• This release includes a couple little usability upgrades in the sidebar—design improvements for pages with longer titles, collapsibility tweaks, and some scroll fixes! 🖱️

As always, thanks for reading and for being a part of the ReadMe community. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and enjoyable holidays!
