I've been following the open-source BaaS ecosystem for a few months to find a real alternative to Firebase, and Appwrite came up as the best solution so far. I really like that you ship fast and that the structure keeps simple. Just tried the new Console and it's really good, and the feeling is waaaay better than the previous version. I don't understand why competitors like Supabase are getting more attention, because no solution is as ready as Appwrite for production at the moment. Maybe you could do better on this side because your product definitely requires more attention. Keep up the good work, you gained me as a long-term user, and I would be happy to contribute when I'll be more familiar with the code base :)

@tom_marx We had a really specific idea in mind, and while we love borrowing from mature products, we've really been trying not to be limited by existing solutions. We just want users to build stuff with as little overhead as possible. We're more than willing to throw away our own ideas to get there if necessary, live moving to Svelte so it's more welcoming for OSS contributors ;)

@tom_marx Thanks so much for the kind words! ❀️

Hi there, it’s Sara from the Appwrite team πŸ‘‹ Today Appwrite is launching Console 2.0 πŸ–₯, a full redesign of Appwrite’s web interface. Developer experience has always been a priority for Appwrite since its inception. The web console is one of the most important pieces of the developer experience puzzle. The new web console not only looks better but serves a functional purpose. We designed Console 2.0 to reflect many of our core product values better and be more welcoming for community contributions. Whether you develop using Appwrite or contribute to Appwrite, Console 2.0 will be a massive step up. // Simplicity One of our core values at Appwrite is simplicity - it guides us in everything we do: we want to simplify software development. We felt the old UI didn’t reflect this value as much as we were striving for. The new UI is simple. It reduces visual load with more purposeful color use and more selective inclusion of information. // Consistency Consistent behavior reduces fumbles, mistakes, and frustration when using Appwrite. The new Appwrite Console uses a consistent UI library, so navigating from page to page and task to task will flow seamlessly. // Accessibility Appwrite is for every developer. Console 2.0 is designed to be accessible, from design to code. Console 2.0 is also designed to be accessible to developers of all skill levels. Complex workflows will provide more guidance for newer developers and promote good technical decisions. // Scalability and collaboration The new console is more maintainable and welcoming to community contributions. Console 2.0 is built using Svelte instead of our own library. It’s better documented and well-known, making it easier for developers to contribute to Appwrite. // Our Process While the old console design served its purpose well since the first Appwrite release, we believed we could do better. In fact, one of the most common pieces of negative feedback during Appwrite’s 1.0 on PH release was a β€œweak visual design.” We’re glad that our community was willing to provide feedback and we took full advantage of this. To better understand our developers' needs, we compiled feedback through surveys, community forums, and sites like Reddit and Product Hunt. We prioritized feedback based on impact vs. effort required and built prototypes. We did many rounds of prototyping and usability testing to arrive at our new design. // What’s Next? Our goal with this redesign was to create a β€œMinimum Loveable Product.” We prioritized the biggest issues in consultation with our community, who provided us with many insights. We’re fully aware that there are still many improvements that we can make, and the UI will continue to evolve. Some things that we already have on our backlog: Filtering and sorting options - Better filtering and sorting options for all of your data in the console Better search capabilities - Searching through users, databases, users - you name it! More (customizable) analytics - We’re going to research what you would like to see in terms of analytics, providing the ability to customize what you see on your dashboard Better keyboard access & navigation - We know developers love their keyboard shortcuts We love the PH community because you're a source of valuable knowledge and feedback. We’d love to see you try our new console and let us know what you think. You can learn more about what Appwrite can do for you here: https://appwrite.io/ https://github.com/appwrite/console
