The new permissions have taken us almost 2 years to figure out.

"TWO YEARS?! How so?"

The technical challenges are a story for another time, but here's a short thread about the product ones.

Access management is hard for any complex software, but what about a no-code tool? Most traditional collaboration tools have a stable data structure:

Jira: Projects, Epics, Isuees, Sprints
Hubspot: Company, Contact, Ticket
Asana: Teams, Projects, Tasks

It makes it possible to define how access is inherited ahead of time while designing a permission model.

Take a deep breath...

1/ Entity permissions (experimental)

Share a task or a feature with someone who has no access to Space.

No groups and no external users yet, but have to start somewhere. Fibery twist: you can extend access to linked entities.

For example, share a Project together with its Tasks or Feature with its Stories and Bugs.

Extension works for all one-to-many relations.

1/ Semantic search

While regular search expects you to remember the exact words you used in a card's name, semantic search deduces the meaning behind your query.

Instead of juggling keywords, try describing the essence of a card to semantic search. Semantic search also works great when you are not sure if a card even exists.

1/ Insert :emoji: in docs

As 🦋 you ✨ can 😅 probably tell, we are big emoji fans. And it makes us sad that some people never discover their Windows or Mac pickers.

That's why we've added a new keyboard-only way to insert an emoji: enter ':' and start typing 2/ Add column layout in docs

This was an experimental feature in the last week's update, and now (after some polishing) it's official.

Combine columns with embedded Views to create compact dashboards or simply rearrange thoughts in a feature description.

1/ Pick icons for Entities

Your workspace deserves to shine and broadcast your vibes.

Pick emoji icons not just for Views and select options, but also for regular entities. This works best for tag-like things like categories, teams, and countries. 2/ Search comments

Let's just ignore the fact we haven't indexed the comments before 🙈

✨ New in Fibery

Historically, we have largely been about POWERRR, not necessarily aesthetics or ease of use.

Now we are course-correcting a bit ⬇️ 1/ Pick a custom View icon

It could be either a vibrant emoji or a stylish icon. You've been adding it before the name anyway, so we've just made it official.

1/ User who triggered Rule or clicked Button

Now you know not only what changed but also who changed it.

Use this knowledge to automatically assign people and teams or to restrict certain workflows. 2/ Action Buttons → Buttons

The old purely scripted Action Buttons have been a great proof of concept.

Now that we've incorporated all their functionality into the new Buttons, it's time for them to go.

First time in a while that we are REMOVING something from the product 🥲

🎈 New in Fibery

Nothing shiny this week, just the quality of life improvements.

1/ Custom success and error messages in scripted Buttons

Don't leave the one who clicks a Button in the dark about what's just happened — add a couple lines of code to explain the result. 2/ Copy the value of one select Field to another in automation Formulas

Previously, this was possible only with a script. Now that we've remembered that we are a no-code tool, here we go 😅

We match options by name, so you don't have to worry about "type mismatch" errors.

This week it's quality of life improvements.

1/ Breadcrumbs on Views

Have you found yourself a bit lost after you open a Fibery link a teammate has shared with you?

No surprise with all the context Views, Folders, and nested docs.

Breadcrumbs to the rescue! 2/ Enforce relation filters

Some filters are merely suggestions, while others are more strict.

For example, interns shouldn't be assigned as Reviewers and Stories shouldn't be linked to an already planned Sprint.

The new toggle helps you to achieve just that.

✨ New in Fibery!

1/ Advanced filters

Combine AND and OR in the same filter: add nested filter groups to get just the items you need.

For example, select not yet finished cards that are either mine or unassigned.

Now you can safely retire those workaround formulas. 2/ Advanced color coding

The same idea applies to colors: they are not limited to a single condition anymore.

🟠 Due date is tomorrow AND (Task is assigned to me OR I am the owner)
🔵 Allocation > 50% AND Allocation < 75%

🎈 New in Fibery (taking a rest from AI*)

1/ Relation filters

No more sifting through an entire DB to link one thing to another. Now you can exclude done projects, long-forgotten sprints, and irrelevant roles.

*it'd be ironic if you've muted "AI" and won't see this tweet 😅 2/ Breadcrumbs in search

Previously, you couldn't tell two Views with the same name but located in different folders apart — picking the right one was a game of chance 🎲

Now we provide extra context for your search results.

⚡️ New week, new release with tons of things. 🧵

1/ 📁 Views nested within Documents (experimental).
Now you can create local Views inside Documents. For example, you may create some temporary report and not pollute space with temporary views. Or you can replace... Folders! 2/ 💨 CSV Import 2.0: The new CSV Import feature has been re-written from scratch and can handle HUGE CSV files up to 50 Mb. New Import is more robust and stable, so data migration into Fibery should be much easier now.

⚡️ New week, new release. Sorry, not AI-related. Somebody should release something else. Meet the new Map View in Fibery. 🧵 Map View works with Location field. For example, you can show Accounts on a world map and quickly see in what country you have more customers and leads, or visualize some data local to your city. /2

⚡️ New week, new release.

1/ Nested Documents graduated from experimental. With nested docs you can create a hierarchy of documents to organize information more effectively.

loom.com/share/6d71d931… 2/ 📍 Location Field
New Location field stores location as an address or coordinates, giving you more flexibility in how you manage your data. You can also extract details from location like country, city, region via formulas.

⚡️ New in Fibery!

1/ Jira two-ways sync. Jira sync works for native fields: Name, Priority, Status, Assignee and custom fields like Single Text, Date, Number. 2/ You can add new comment and new entities into Jira from Fibery using automations.

This week we are all about performance.
Before vs. after: 🐢 Before

Entities used to take a while to load with the UI jumping all over the place

🥳 New in Fibery this week

1/ Workspace Map 2.0 that solves all problems of Workspace 1.0. Zoom, scroll, re-arrange spaces, connect databases. Super fast (based on canvas). Enjoy!
loom.com/share/df654577… 2/ 🫱 Right-click context menu (experimental).
We removed all weird elements from cards that obscure content in many cases. Nice and clear cards now.

1/ [This ...] in Formulas

This one is for our beloved power users.

Reference the current Entity inside the Filter function. For example, check if there are Tasks past the Project's planned end:

Tasks.Filter([Due Date] > [This Project].[Due Date]).Count() > 0 2/ "New" Button in relation Views

So far it's just another shortcut for adding a new Entity to a relation via List, Board, or any other View.

But we have something interesting in mind for this...🔮

✨ New in Fibery!

1/ Favorite Folders and Smart Folders

Why hasn't it been possible before? 🤷😅 2/ Endless scroll in search results

We used to limit the number of search results to 60.
You've asked us not to.
Now we don't.

✨ New in Fibery

1/ Import page

Bring data from Jira, Notion, or ClickUp to Fibery ~~before you abandon them for good~~.

Previously, we suggested importing by enabling sync first and then turning it off. Now it's more straightforward 😅 2/ Database description

What is an Insight?
How large a Story can be?
What is a good Objective?

Guide your teammates with short annotations visible on DB badge hover.

✨ New in Fibery

1/ Visualize relations on a Board View

See Sprint Kanban or Project Overview right when you open a card. 2/ Hover on a Formula to see the calculation

Finally, there is a way for muggles to see the magic used to produce a number.

Previously, this has been reserved for Creators editing a Formula Field.
