Following our extensive 2023 feature rollout, we dedicated 2024 to taking Superblocks to the next level—offering the most comprehensive feature set of any app builder on the market. We accomplished this through cutting-edge enhancements across our App Builder, integrations, governance platform, and developer experience—delivering a thoughtful, best-in-class solution for teams of any size, from nimble startups to global enterprises. As we gear up for 2025, let’s take a moment to reflect on everything we’ve achieved this year!

Last week we launched Layouts in Superblocks. It was a huge effort and one of the more challenging engineering projects we've done and we learned a lot along the way.

Ensuring the right people have access to the right tools and data is crucial for maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency. Using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), administrators guarantee least privileged access by assigning users only the necessary roles to access the applications, data, systems, and functionality needed. RBAC also streamlines administration by providing a simple and easy way for IT teams to scale access management.

Today, we're introducing Superblocks UI Templates – pre-built, professionally designed UI building blocks that make it easier than ever to build beautiful, user-friendly internal tools.

In an environment where time-to-market is crucial, low-code platforms are game-changers, allowing developers to build full-stack applications with a fraction of the time and effort. Traditionally, low-code platforms have offered limited testing support - resulting in trading development speed for unstable applications and long, tedious manual testing cycles. As a result, developers are often disincentivized to use low-code to build complex applications and mission-critical tooling for their support and ops teams - often resulting in it never being built at all.‍At Superblocks, we're taking a pro-code approach to the traditional low-code setup by introducing the Superblocks Testing SDK. With this new SDK, you can easily integrate testing into your workflow, letting you confidently build resilient and complex applications. Never worry again about the stability of your mission-critical applications, just write and run tests as you build in the testing frameworks you love. When you're ready to review, just integrate your testing into your CI/CD pipelines to automatically detect regression before you deploy. Now, creating powerful applications that meet the demands of modern businesses is not just possible—it’s a breeze!

Creating these dynamic experiences DIY requires front-end developers to leverage complex, often difficult-to-use layout modes such as CSS Grid and Flexbox. While low-code development platforms offer more simplicity via drag-and-drop application builders, these tools are often limited to building static, inflexible interfaces.
