In August we did 4 releases with total 280 points (625 → 470 → 280 last 3 months). Our QA engineers and several developers went on vacation for 2 weeks and it affected releases, but we still did a pretty good job in August.
Main product areas and how they will change with time in near future.
We’ve got a new quite large enterprise customer and it affected priorities of quite many features in our backlog. So in the next 2 months significant part of Fibery team will work on these features. Note that all of them are requested by other customers as well and they benefit to the product as a whole. To give you perception of some features we will work on here:
- Access previous values in Automation Rules
- Duplication automation rule to another database
- Disable sharing for the whole workspace
- Batch drag and drop cards on Timeline and Gantt views
- Some security features (session duration, service accounts for API)
- likely some filters improvements
- …
Permissions
Live
Track access changes (aka permissions) in history on all kind of levels is on production:
This should bring peace of mind to our architects and eliminate distractions for our dev team.
Introduce access audit for Users and User Groups is live for Spaces and Databases:
Add Entity access audit for Users and Groups has proved much more challenging due to the sheer volume of data coming from numerous sources. We haven’t found a feasible solution so decided to postpone and collect feedback.
We also implemented Add automation action to revoke access via Created By and immediately received dopamine from one large customer:
L: We’ve tested it - we’re delighted:) It works fast, no downsides found)
O: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Next
While Deleting v1 permissions model is happening under the hood, we’ll finally start the long-awaited user-facing Features:
- Consolidate default access template names across Space, Database, and Entity levels
- Deprecate old Contributor Space access
- Enable automatic Editor access via Created By by default for new Databases
- Allow not to extend access from Space to its Entities
- Allow to have Databases outside Spaces (in Default Space)
We are also likely to Introduce custom access templates for Databases access as a part of paid custom development for new enterprise customer — waiting for their official request.
Import
Live
We released a highly requested Feature: Update existing entities or skip duplicates via CSV import:
How popular is it? Stay tuned for the next monthly report 
.
We implemented it “the right way” and now have Fibery API: create-or-update (upsert) entity command.
Other smaller things included:
- Import and sync data via AI smart agent
- Add JQL Filter to Jira Sync
- Add date of account creation for integrations accounts page
- ​Webhook retry improvements and notifications about failures
Some customer dopamine:
I did a migration from notion to fibery for a client this weekend, and i build the full field mapping, and process changes in fibery using the notion integration and button automations. syncs up to the right stage, checks the old tasks, everything. And not just a simple import, we changed to much more complex processes. Goes to show how powerful this really is
really crazy.
Next
We are looking to Streamline how Users are imported and synced in integrations:
It’s in our best interest that people can easily migrate users from their current tool (ideally, with all the assignments preserved), since collaboration is key to adoption and since we charge per seat.
We’ll both unlock the existing functionality with a more approachable UX and add the missing bits.
Views & UI polishing
In August we decided to apply some effort on UI improvements and 3 people had been working on that. We’ve improved many areas visually, including Board View. We delivered many many small improvements here and there.
We will work on better Board View in September and then switch to List View and Calendar View improvements.
AI
In AI we were mostly focused on AI Agent Build mode. What was done:
- We’ve added a possibility to create automations rules
- [ai-agent] tag was added to rich text fields automations
- UI was improved to include links to created views, databases, fields, etc.
We’ve also released Fibery Remote MCP Server, but we did not receive any significant feedback here so far.
AI Agent usage is growing, with 6500 calls in August.
Getting Started flow was not released still, but we will do it in September.
One of the problem is performance, AI Agent is relatively slow, so we will also dig into possible solutions and re-think its architecture.
Next things to do are
- Create Whiteboards via AI Agent (works in beta, should be improved and fully released soon)
- Make it possible to update Automations Rules and make them better
- Improve UX
- Then we will focus on better context management, so it will be possible to mention specific Fibery objects and change them
Whiteboard
In August, the Whiteboard activity feature was developed, it’s now in the testing phase and will soon be ready for release.
We updated the behavior of sections and improved support for color themes Update color palettes for elements for both themes. The behavior of bent lines was redesigned for better performance with diagrams Whiteboard: Bent connectors improvements
Next things:
- Embed views on Whiteboard Embed views into the whiteboard (reports, tables, etc)
- Relations support updates Whiteboard: Support all relations
Mobile
Good progress on the mobile app in August. We reworked the overall navigation, updated some common UI components (not all) for mobile behavior, the editing toolbar in the rich field, settings pages, mobile notifications, and quick actions. This month we’re moving toward the beta release.
Next things:
- Finish the rich field editor on mobile device
- Update all core UI elements (buttons, actions menu, calendar and icons pickers, lists etc.)
- Update views and entity toolbar
- Update views (Board, Table etc.)
- Visual polishing
- Internal testing
- TestFlight/Google console release for beta testers
