Technical Changes from the Obie Dashboard Redesign
It was a long time coming: improvements to Obie’s dashboard. I wrote the dashboard very early on in the company, and have since learned and grown so much in my development skills, as most coders do over a period of years. My team and I worked diligently in Q1 to redesign…
A brand new way to search for knowledge at work
Massive product updates for Obie and some design thinking behind them Summer (or lack there of) here in Canada is near, and it’s only been 2 months since our last product update (a major one, at that) but we have so much to share, including some massive changes and updates to the…

Obie 0.8 [BETA] Changelog
