Appsmith November Newsletter

Hello Appsmiths, 👋

In this monthly edition, we are excited to share some inspiring success stories that highlight the value and impact of using Appsmith for businesses.

Let us introduce you to Duarte Carreira, the Data Analysis & Visualization Director at EDIA. Duarte shares how Appsmith accelerated their app development and maintenance, allowing them to build 80% faster. With Appsmith, they were able to rebuild a collaborative platform, a legacy internal ticketing app, and even complete a regulatory impact simulator project in just one week.

We also had the opportunity to connect with Oscar Santana, CTO at ART Fertility Clinics. They were facing challenges with decentralized and unreliable data management. By building custom extensions to their clinical management software with Appsmith, they were able to integrate their existing systems, improve operations, and gain control over their data.

If you're curious to learn and discover the best value you can achieve with your Appsmith apps, we invite you to watch our latest talk with Abhishek Nayak, CEO and Co-Founder of Appsmith.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon! 🫰

Branch Protection and Default Branch config

In Appsmith, you can use Git to maintain different environments across instances. Now, you can set a different default branch in each environment, This means that users who launch the app from the dashboard will see the deployed version from this branch. You can also now protect branches to enforce code reviews and ensure secure development following good practices.

ECharts widget support

To improve the charting features in Appsmith, we have decided to replace Fusion Charts with ECharts as our preferred library. Now, you will have the option to create more flexible built-in charts in your apps.

A big shoutout to @danguilherme, @torcoste, @danceAndJive, and @trivikr for your contributions to November's releases. We appreciate your support and can't wait to see what else you bring to the table. Keep up the fantastic work!
