Updates
Thank you to our beta testers
We want to say a big "Thank You!" to the over 200 beta testers who have been testing the new Knack Builder. We continue to be encouraged by the positive feedback we're receiving on the updated look and feel and the new additions such as side-by-side views, the equation editor and imports. Please continue to share your thoughts and file any bugs directly from the Builder.
Considerable progress has been made on bug fixing and we are feeling much more confident with the new Builder's overall stability. Our engineers are adding hundreds of automated tests that will raise this confidence level even higher.
What's next with the new Builder?
We're expanding the beta program! Soon you will be able to toggle any existing app back and forth between the current Builder and the new Builder. This means you can start to use the new Builder with your existing apps and for building new apps. This will replace our current beta sandbox.
We'll be sending details when the toggle is available. If you currently are a beta tester, we will reach out with specifics on this transition. Send us a note at support@knack.com if you’re haven’t already let us know that you’re interested in testing.
Infrastructure & Performance
