I'm so pleased to say we've released Loomio 3!
This release represents more than 18 months of work to upgrade our core UI libraries (Vue.js and Vuetify) from version 2 to version 3.
The goal of the v3 release was that users wouldn't notice anything had changed. They might notice it looks better and is faster, but otherwise it's a drop in replacement for v2.
There has been more than 6 months of testing in production for this release. Using feature flags, we've been running v3 alongside v2 on loomio.com. This has allowed us to do extensive real world testing and be confident that v3 is in every way an improvement on v2.
If I were to describe what all the work means, it's pretty simple:
- The UI looks better, is smaller to download, faster to respond and fit for future development
- Creating and joining subgroups has been moved to the sidebar
- We have a new onboarding experience to help groups get started
With this work done, we're able to focus on delivering our mobile app (PWA) and AI integrations.
Just so it's linked to the release notes, here's the PR: #10150
