✨ Highlights

April has been a very busy month, it is amazing to see how much a small team of dedicated people can achieve in such a short time.

🌐 Connect social providers to user accounts

Early in the month we released a new feature that allows users to connect their social accounts to their existing accounts. This feature is very useful for users that want to use their social accounts to sign in, in addition to any other method of their choosing. You can read more about this feature in our blog post.

👀 Advanced GraphQL

We also released a set of advanced GraphQL features that allow you to better observe what your application is doing, how it is performing and also enhance its security. You can read more about these features in our blog post.

💻 Local Settings

As we continue to improve the developer experience we have finally added the possibility to edit your toml localy using the dashboard. This feature is a first step into other enhancements we want to perform in this space to make managing your Nhost project easier. You can read more about this feature in our blog post.

🏎️ Auth to Go

As we already mentioned in the previous newsletter we have been working on migrating our Auth service to Go. We have continued this work and we also released a blog post about it. You can read more about this in our blog post.

🪄 AI

The AI service has also received some updates this month. We have added a new field to the auto-embeddings form to allow you to configure which model to use and also added the maxDistance parameter to similarity and search queries. You can read more about these features in our docs.

📨 Postmark native integration

You can now leverage postmark's new native integration we added to the Auth service. This feature allows you to send emails using postmark's templates directly from the Auth service. You can read more about this feature in our docs.

📱 React Native Support (teaser)

Officially we have never supported react native and, while users have managed to use Nhost with react native, the experience has never been optimal. We are happy to announce that we are currently working on improvements on this front and we hope to have more news to share with you soon.
