Hello Knack Builders!
Our team has been focused on improving the overall experience of Knack, from the initial sign-up experience through to app functionality. Here’s an overview:
Performance and Reliability
Knack users generate about 150 million API calls every week. In the past few months, we’ve increased the speed of those calls from 1200ms to 650ms. That’s nearly a 50% improvement. The network issue notifications have also decreased from 1.32% to 1.2%.
We are confident that these incremental improvements equate to significant performance and reliability improvements. We will continue to investigate, correct, and improve in these areas.
We are also excited to announce the following updates 
coming soon:
Google SSO - Authenticate with Ease:
To simplify the sign-in process and save you time, we are adding Google Single sign-on. New and existing users will be able to securely sign up and sign in to Knack using their Google account, making it easier than ever to access applications.
New Onboarding and Sign-Up Experience:
We are redesigning our onboarding flow to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. New users will find the sign-up flow a much more intuitive experience. The new onboarding experience will guide them through the essential features of our platform, ensuring that they have all the tools needed to succeed right from the start.
New Dashboard Design:
We’re redesigning our dashboard to provide a more user-friendly look and feel. The updated layout will be visually appealing and simplify new app creation.
These changes will be released via a rolling deployment based on your app region in early June. We will be actively updating the forum with details.
As always, our team is here to support you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at product@knack.com.
We appreciate you and are committed to helping you succeed.
Cheers!
Kara
