We’re proud to announce an exciting new feature that makes the user experience more customizable. Users can now choose how their data is displayed on the screen, making the user interface even more seamless and flexible.

Previously, the default data display was a table. Now we’re giving users the power to view their data how they want. This includes the new options of a list, card, and uniquely, a calendar view. These options give users the freedom to customize and control the presentation of their project according to their specific needs and requirements.

This incredibly user-friendly feature can be selected directly from the convenient Schema Editor. Alternatively, users can specify their preferred display type in the description when creating their new project. For example, if a user requests that a particular entity be displayed as a card, the system will pre-select this option when creating the project schema.

List View

Optimized for sequential data display, List View facilitates efficient linear analysis of data set elements. This view is particularly effective for straightforwardly displaying records, allowing you to quickly scan and retrieve information without the visual complexity of other data arrangements.

Card View

Designed to present data in a visually appealing way, Card View organizes information into individual cards. Each card serves as a container for a single piece of data, presenting it in a more detailed and visually appealing way than a simple list. This view is particularly effective in scenarios where the data benefits from a richer context, or where individual records contain multiple attributes that are best understood when presented together. It’s ideal for user interfaces that emphasize intuitive navigation and interaction, providing an at-a-glance summary with the ability to drill down into the details of each element.

Calendar View

Designed specifically for managing and visualizing time-sensitive data, the Calendar view provides a dynamic temporal view of events, tasks, or any date-related data point. It requires the specification of date or date/time fields within the record to activate. Critical for applications that require scheduling, event management, or any form of date-based data tracking, this view gives users a comprehensive view of their time-sensitive data in a familiar calendar format.

Among the new display types, the Calendar option requires additional customization. This display type becomes available as an option when two or more fields in the current entity are marked as date or datetime types. Once the Calendar option is selected, two additional drop-down menus prompt the user to specify the start and end date fields.

Reset Database Feature

We also wanted to present one more platform update: you now have the power to reset your project to its original state instantly! Now you can feel free to innovate and experiment confidently, knowing you can always start over with a clean slate if needed. Embrace the freedom to create without fear of permanent changes.

We also updated the dark theme on the Tailwind stack.
