Interesting product, companies struggle a lot when they have to build scalable backends. Congratulations on the launch @sara_k1

Amazing news, I love the new design! It feels exactly like the current console, just 100 times nicer 🤯

This is amazing. I'd never thought of Backend as a service would exist

A much awaited re-design! Love the new console and can't wait to try it. Kudos to the Design team and all the open source contributors who helped with the usability tests as part of Hacktoberfest! 🤩

The new Console substantially improves Appwrite's developer experience...kudos to our Design and Engineering teams for the wonderful job they've done here 😍

Hi there, it’s Sara from the Appwrite team 👋 Today Appwrite is launching Console 2.0 🖥, 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 “weak 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 “Minimum 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

So excited to see this update. I hosted a few user testing sessions, and know that we managed to solve many of our users' biggest gripes with our UI!

I'm not a developer, but I can see the value here! My lame attempts at pushing git repos through the console would probably be easier with this, haha. 🚀

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 :)

It takes an incredible amount of effort to build such a rich UI. Thankfully from all the community feedback and the core team's hard work, we were able to deliver something very special. I can't wait to show you all what is coming out next!

Congratulations @eldad_fux @tessa_mero and the entire team of Appwrite. Love the design.

As a former backend engineer the the UX feels very comfortable for me :) Congrats on the launch!

I updated Appwrite from 1.03 to 1.1 to test this and first impression is really good. I haven't given it a forensic look yet but I like what I've seen so far! Congratulations and good job!

how i can test it? looks good

Looks awesome! Thanks!

I really love appwrite, and I thank the team and all contributors for making this possible, but don't get me wrong here: I can't really use appwrite until I know that there is a function or button that can backup my data and restore it back again as easily as possible. Take a look at Directus (a headless CMS). It has a simple button that can backup all your blog posts and still restore them, and that function alone is all I need to feel safe using AppWrite.

Definitely a project that should be supported. A great backend solution for startup projects. I am actively using it in my three different projects.

Love that it's open source. Any added services?

Glad that I came across this, Congrats on the launch team✌

Wow , this is super cool
