What's new in VIKTOR (May 2024)

Visual Builder: Click your UI together

Use the Visual Builder to create interfaces for your apps without any coding!

You can easily click together your desired UI elements (fields, views, tabs, steps, etc.) to generate a blueprint code that you can use as a starting point for further development. Save time creating UIs and instead fully focus on writing automation logic.

The Visual Builder is an experimental feature we are currently developing. You can find the Visual Builder in the VIKTOR labs; the part of your environment where we showcase our experimental features to improve your developer experience. Make sure to give it a try and share your thoughts through the feedback form in the app so we can keep improving this functionality!

Archive your apps

App maintainers and organization admins can now archive app store applications. You can archive apps to clean up any redundant applications and make sure your colleagues can only see apps that are relevant to them. Read more in our documentation.

Note: archived apps are not deleted, you can unarchive them at any given time.

Simplified app publish command

From now on, you can easily publish all your apps on the CLI using the universal command: viktor-cli publish.

Previously, you needed to supply several arguments when using the publish command. With the latest update, this is no longer necessary as the CLI asks you to select the app you want to publish to. Additionally, this information is stored in the configuration file, so you only have to select the app name once. In case you don't supply the tag it will be auto-generated by the CLI. Read more in our documentation.

Community spotlight

Motor vehicle operators must be able to see ahead to safely react to highway conditions that require stopping or changing speed or direction. Samuel Kreimeyer's Sight Distance application is meant to facilitate the common calculations of stopping sight distance, clear offsets, and decision sight distance. Check it out!

Would you like to share your application with the rest of the community as well? Please let us know by sending an email to support@viktor.ai!
