Owlet Weekly Update (Week of May 17)

May 18th, 2021

Hello and welcome to another Owlet Weekly Update, y'all! Gemini season is around the corner and the energy is absolutely overwhelming for all of us here at ReadMe—not only because we have lots of birthdays coming up, but because we're also kicking off the beta period of our new designs*! But the fun doesn't stop there—we're also shipping several performance and design-related updates. Details on everything below! ♊

✨ New & Improved

  • As mentioned above, we're entering the first phase of our beta period for our new documentation design! You may have already noticed the new digs on our site for several weeks now—but starting today, all newly created ReadMe projects will feature the new design! And these improvements aren't just cosmetic y'all—this is a complete rewrite of our web application from the ground up that gives your users a faster, lighter, and more secure experience when using your docs. Oh, and did I mention that it's far more mobile-friendly? We'll have lots more to say soon, but if you're interested in joining the beta program, contact us at [email protected]! 🆕🎊🦉
  • We've been hard at work at some major infrastructure upgrades for API Metrics (hello Clickhouse!) and the first fruits of this labor are included in this release. The API Metrics Dashboard got a huge performance bump and now loads your API usage information far faster (upwards of a gajillion times, under certain conditions)! 📈
  • Rejoice, my cURL-ing crew—we cleaned up our cURL code snippets by way of making JSON data more readable. You can see this behavior in action in our docs—try inserting sample data into the form and observe how the cURL code snippet changes! 🥌

🛠 Fixes & Updates

  • This one is for my short screen kings that administer lots of Enterprise child projects: we fixed an issue with our "Manage Projects For Group" modal that made it difficult to view and manage all your projects and screens with smaller heights. This release makes it so you can now navigate through this modal comfortably. 👑
  • Good news if you're viewing a discussion forum post and the back button on your web browser is broken for some inexplicable reason—we've added a back button for you! 🔙
  • Fixed authentication issues for certain project administrators that were trying (and failing) to make changes to their recipes. 🧑‍🍳

As always, thanks for tuning in and for being a part of the ReadMe community!

* I read this article and the astrologer mentioned that Gemini season means that it's time to "shake off that heaviness", which is exactly what we're doing in terms of our new JavaScript bundle splitting strategy.
