Description

Wow, has this project grown! Hello, and welcome to our new watchers and stargazers — and a special thanks to everybody who has provided feedback and helped over the past weeks. It's been a huge pleasure, and a complete blast, to have you around. Things have become much nicer and more stable as a result of your support, and I (that's me, @felixhenninger) have learnt a great deal and have become a better developer.

This release is to commemorate a stable state in view of a few major upcoming changes, but there's also been a lot of activity that is worth summarizing.

Contributor friendliness, project infrastructure, and community outreach

A focus of the recent work has been to make the project as a whole more stable and accessible to contributors. This was prompted in a large part by Mozilla's excellent Open Leadership Training and the fantastic Global Sprint. In particular, the project now has

Library
  • Now includes utilities for building full-screen studies
  • Supports automated and standardized backends for data collection
  • Formats collected data much more nicely in the debug preview
Builder
  • CSV import and export for loops (big thanks to @crsh for suggesting this!)
  • Now exports a complete study ready for the field, including data collection backends
  • Browser compatibility issues are now detected automatically, and users are prompted to update their browser
  • The builder taking big steps towards becoming progressive, i.e. offline-capable (it's not entirely there yet, but close)
  • Editor code is now preloaded, removing a major source of errors (all credit goes to @jeffslofish for prompting this)
  • Static files can be included in a study (upload UI upcoming!)
