If at first you don't succeed.. in Site Updates (Josh)

Hey everyone,

You’ve probably noticed the site going up and down and being pretty slow over the past few weeks. I feel your pain, and I really appreciate you being patient. We’re trying! The push to docker last week caused some issues and the developer had to roll things back.

We’re regrouping right now and are planning on trying again later this week or early next, but before we do I’ve brought in another developer with deeper server experience to make sure we’re going about things in the right way. Measure twice, cut once. I’m also hoping this new developer can do a deeper dive into making things faster because oof it’s been bad lately.

They’re named MD and JM, by the way. We worked together about 8 years ago and were a sort of “dream team” at the company we were all working at, knocking out some really complex projects. It’s a real pleasure to be working with them again, and I’m happy PB has enabled our happy reunion.

In other news
I’ll be making a post in the next few weeks about a new surprise feature for PB I’ve been digging into this past month (remember my mystery call for surveys a while back?). I think you’ll all really love it, and I’m excited to work with the community on what it will ultimately look like. I’ve also got all of the usual feature requests on my radar, I promise, but I want to give the developers something really fun to work on after all of this dreary server work.

And who doesn’t love surprises?

<3,
