“Messing Around” Progress Report

&

Back in April, we announced a change to the way we were going to be working moving forward, so we wanted to give you a quick update on how that’s all going. Quick recap: we decided to try moving all of our feature requests, bug reports, and tasks into Github, versus having them siloed in the helpdesk, Shortcut, Rollbar, Github, Discord, email, Mastodon, and so on.

The Joys of Public Demos

As you likely know, we have two public demos of Snipe-IT, the version that’s on the master branch, and the version that’s on develop.

We’ve seen...

Snipe-IT v7 Retrospective – What Worked, What We Could Have Done better

S

As you likely know by now, v7 of Snipe-IT dropped a few weeks ago. Those of you who have been with us for a long time know that those major version releases can be pretty tough. When you’re hoisting the underlying framework by several versions, upgrading dependencies, plus adding features, things can get messy fast. Making sure that we cover as many possible versions as possible for our...
