Today we're bringing you some exciting product and community updates.

🎨 NEW DEFAULT THEMES AND GENIE BUILDER THEME EDITOR

We know how important it is for your data apps to look as polished as the insights they deliver. That’s why we’re thrilled to share two updates designed to make building professional-looking applications easier with Genie.

Let's start with the new default light and dark themes for a modern, clean look right out of the box (see below). The default themes are available to all Stipple and Genie Builder users, including those on a free Lite plan.

We've also introduced a new, advanced theme editor for Genie Builder that allows for quick customization of your app themes (watch a 2' demo below). This feature is available to all Genie Builder customers with Pro and Enterprise licenses.

🔥 NEW ADVANCED WEB UI COMPONENTS

Finally, we have released new advanced UI components to aid the development of sophisticated web applications with Genie Builder.

• Tabs: Seamlessly organize content with a tabbed interface
• Conditional and Looper: Enhanced flow control for your UI
• StippleTable: Integrated search and server-side pagination for large datasets
• Popup Proxy: Display UI sections as popups for better interaction
• Bound Chart: Customize traces and advanced layouts with Julia backend
• Card: Effortlessly display key content blocks
