💥 Kaboom!
Today is a massive day for Lowcoder as we introduce version 2.3.1, which we've excitingly named "Kaboom". Even though the version number only slightly changes from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1, the update brings major improvements. It marks a big change in how we create and develop applications, showcasing our bold goal to combine an App Builder, Web-builder, Slides & Presentation Builder, and a Collaboration & Online Meeting Tool all into one unique platform. Lowcoder stands alone in this effort, as the only platform where you can build all these tools together, including embedding your own apps into online meetings. There's nothing else like it out there.
Finally, Layers...
Overlapping Components in Layers: Inspired by the versatility of Photoshop, we've introduced the capability for components to overlap within layers. This groundbreaking feature is a giant leap towards realizing our vision of a unified platform. It empowers businesses and application creators to slash application development costs by up to 90% across various domains, paving the way for the creation of native websites with Lowcoder.
We introduce Layers in a way that it is a non-breaking change ... IF you not use that switch. That means: Lowcoder Editor and Lowcoder Apps will behave as always till you switch on the Layer Feature. Currently, it is App-Wide as a setting activated. So, you can use the feature for each app individually. And as soon as activated, apps behave differently! In a way, it "IS" breaking change, as Layouting is different - since currently, Auto-Height of Components is active - but does not "push" other components down (as we have layers now). You need to take your first steps and get a new habit out of these circumstances. It depends on the type of App you want to build if Layers make sense or not.

Bulk Editing Tool
The new Bulk Editing feature allows for simultaneous editing of multiple selected components, significantly streamlining the development process. Coupled with enhanced Style Support for an expanded range of components, Lowcoder is on track to becoming the quintessential design tool for Websites & Presentations embedded with App functionality.

Lowcoder Marketplace
The launch of the Lowcoder Marketplace marks a pivotal moment in fostering community collaboration. This feature simplifies the sharing and utilization of applications within the community, offering a global marketplace accessible at app.lowcoder.cloud and on self-hosted installations. Each self-hosted installation also benefits from a "local Marketplace," which can be either publicly accessible or private, for exclusive use by logged-in users.
