  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • mattermost-mobile

    Next generation iOS and Android apps for Mattermost in React Native

  • On the mobile platform end, we’re going to try something new: a weekly mobile hangout (in the public ~Developers: Mobile channel of course, using Calls) on Mondays. The goal is to have a casual “drop in and out as you like” type of environment. Some of our mobile engineers will be there, if you like to talk about mobile development, are stuck somewhere, or would like to share your love of dynamic islands — this will be the opportunity. We’re also pushing three initiatives forward: automated performance testing (channel: ~Client Performance Automation) in collaboration with the web platform team, Sentry Integration and the “single command” installer for development environments. On the latter topic, we polled people last week. We’ll create a prototype of the “single binary” (written in Go) option.

  • mattermost-webapp

    Discontinued Archived web app of Mattermost. Moved to the monorepo: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost

  • On the web platform end, the team has been working on unifying post components (and cleaning up afterwards), more fighting with Webpack and friends in the context of the front-end part of the multi-product architecture, testing out a prototype of menus based on Material UI, and the regular cycle of dependency updates.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Mattermost

    Mattermost is an open source platform for secure collaboration across the entire software development lifecycle..

  • On the server platform side, already some time ago (but I somehow missed it), we posted a thorough investigation of performance regression you may be interested in. Last week I mentioned “community on demand” (a way to deploy duplicates of our community server for testing purposes) and it is now available to Mattermost employees. We haven’t broken community this week, therefore we’re continuing our refactoring streak.

  • mattermost-test-management

    Mattermost Test Management, an open testing initiative.

  • On the QA platform side, we've been doing a lot of work stabilizing our QA infrastructure, adding observability (collecting metrics), and automating more things (such as building AMIs for iOS-based testing). We have now also added Percy to our stack (a tool to support visual regression testing). On the test case management topic, we are currently witnessing a piece of history in the making — the first QA-Engineering collaboration on test cases, happening in a PR (because now we can) 🤯.
