Now that October and Hacktoberfest are over, let's recap the exciting events that took place during this month. We started with our first-ever online conference - Appsmith Innovate. During the conference, we discussed trends in internal solutions, got a sneak peek at the roadmap, and more. You can watch the recordings or read a recap on our blog.
One exciting announcement is the ability for the community to upload their templates for everyone's use. A huge shout-out to Aditya Parthiban for sharing the first community template - a Multi Step Form.
The community doesn't build just for the sake of building; they are looking to solve business problems. We appreciate contributors who share their solutions, and we would love to hear more about your Appsmith stories. Please take a moment to share what you're working on.
And last but not least, we had our October release jam, where we announced ESM JavaScript Library support and AI-powered contextual prompts.

Product Updates ![]()
Previously, Appsmith only supported UMD builds of JS libraries, which sometimes caused compatibility issues. Now, with the introduction of ESM (ECMAScript Modules), development teams can now seamlessly integrate the latest JavaScript libraries, making the development process smoother and more efficient.
AI Contextual Prompts are context-aware and understanding your data structures. Simply express your requirements in plain English, and Appsmith will automatically generate complex SQL queries, JavaScript functions, and even SVGs.
Email verification on Appsmith Cloud
Appsmith did not require email verification for logging in, which led to potential issues with junk emails and unauthorized sign-ins. To address this concern, new users are now required to verify their email by clicking a magic link sent to their mailbox. This additional step ensures a more secure and reliable login experience for all Appsmith users.
