Hi all! A quick writeup on what we’ve been doing behind the scenes lately.
First off, we’re continuing on the fullstack rewrite. This has been a massive job for our team and we are still working on it. We are still rapidly iterating on API and UI designs so here is a preview of the app launcher which has changed since you all have last seen it
Next, we have been hard at work the past couple of days to make our product even more open. We have open-sourced our UI library, all of our first-party apps, and split the documentation into its own repo for easier access., all free software under the GNU AGPL3.0 license! We believe open-source should be at the core of Administer and our work continues to be free to give back to the community.
With that we also have opened a repository for feature requests, bug reports, and discussions! You can still do all of that in the Discord community but GitHub is a new options for people who cannot access it due to blocks, restrictions, accounts, or anything else.
With 2.0 we will also be introducing automated Administer builds via GitHub, community submissions to the main app server fully for free, better support for self-hosting App Server instances, and more!
We still don’t have an ETA But things are ramping up behind the scenes and I can’t wait to be able to share more with all of you. All 1.x builds will continue to work fully normally for the time being (after 2…0 releases we may drop support for downloading Apps from a 1.x panel).
The upgrade will be fully free as per usual. Please stay tuned for more information. Thanks!
