WeWeb - update on what we are working on at the moment

Announcements
63

Hi everyone! Apologies for the delay, after being off last week, I wanted to ensure I had better clarity on a few items before sending out the bi-weekly update:

  1. Improving the quality of the AI-generated logic: The new agentic AI structure, now powered by Sonnet 3.7, is live on our staging. We’re currently running extensive tests to improve output quality and the results so far are impressive. I’ll be sharing a video update next week to give you a closer look at the progress. As for the release, it’s difficult to pin down an exact date, but we’re aiming for the week of the 19th of May.

  2. Datagrid improvements:

  • Trigger on row deselected - is in production.
  • Fix Datagrid causing infinite loops in some cases - in production.
  • Custom colors for the tick box - is QA approved, will be live next week.
  • Add Range selection border color property and checkbox selected background color property - is QA approved, will be live next week.
  • Expose filters & sort and add init filter and sort properties - is QA approved, will be live next week.
  • Add a property lang in the settings tab to allow translations - is in QA, will be live next week or the one after.
  • Back-end filter - While this feature would be useful, we decided to move it to the backlog for now since it’s not highly requested and would require a lot of development time.
  • Fix when you filter the column and use the select all option, it ignores your filter and selects the entire collection - following further analysis, we determined that this cannot be done because of a limitation in AG Grid.
  1. Here is the progress on our long list of advanced components:
  • Timeline - is in production, link to the documentation
  • Breadcrumb - is in production, link to the documentation
  • Improved file upload - is in production, link to the documentation
  • Improved calendar - is in production, link to the documentation
  • Having the Kanban working well with AI - is in production
  • Having the Carousel / Image Slider working well with AI - is in production
  • Gantt - currently in QA, it’s expected to be in production toward the end of May.
  • Chat - currently in QA, it’s expected to be in production toward mid-May.
  • AI chat - currently in QA, it’s expected to be in production toward mid-May.
  • Currency input - currently in QA, it’s expected to be in production toward the end of May.
  • OTP Input - under development, it’s expected to be in production toward the end of May.
  • Stepper - under development, it’s expected to be in production toward the end of May.
  • Tree View - moved to backlog for now since the demand is not very high.

  1. Detaching modals from pages and making them accessible at project level: the new system for modals / popups has been in QA for the past week. We’re currently focused on stabilizing it, improving it and making it compatible with the new AI. It will be released to production together with the updated AI, so hopefully the week of May 19th.

  2. New organization of global workflows and edge functions + revamp of the plugins panel: we’ve been pushing this a bit further. In addition to revamping the UX/UI around global workflows and plugin management, we also added the ability to create backend workflows with Supabase, similar to how frontend workflows are built. The feature is really exciting, it will allow the creation of Supabase edge functions in no-code, which is a major improvement. The whole feature went back into development so we could integrate this new functionality. It should be in staging by the end of next week, and we’re aiming to push it to production toward the end of May.

  3. Vite setup to reduce the build time: the feature is now in staging, being tested. It will be released to production together with the updated AI, so hopefully the week of May 19th.

  4. Icons improvements: we had to postpone these improvements to focus on the Datagrid improvements and the performance issues reported over the past two weeks (most of which we have now fixed).

  5. We have the following fixes planned for the roadmap next week:

  • Fix the input’s On enter event bug.
  • Fix the issue where changing the language on a dynamic page causes the parameter to become undefined.
  • Fix the fact that the name is not saved when saving a template into the library.
  • Fix the calendar issue binding events
  • Fix tooltips in the add menu (they are not displaying right now)
  • Add a Help button to the top bar of the editor so users can easily access chat support
  1. Other topics:
  • SSR: We are still exploring the technical feasibility of implementing SSR with WeWeb. We should be able to share whether we’ll be able to prioritize it this year in the next bi-weekly report.
  • Support & ticketing system: we’re in the process of overhauling our ticketing system and chat support through Intercom, making it much easier for users to track their ticket status. On top of that, we’ve made strong progress in hiring a new Customer Care Engineer, someone will be joining our team in early May! We’ll share more with the community in the next bi-weekly update.
  • Branching: the product team has completed the first version of the qualification, and it is now with the developers for review. We’ll share an initial estimate of the time required to build this feature in the next bi-weekly update.

As always, feel free to comment and add your feedback in this thread in case you feel we missed something important!
