Most enterprises depend on comprehensive, multi-functional administrative suites to support their internal workflows and critical business operations. For example, a payments-focused FinTech company might want a single application for support and ops teams to handle customer onboarding operations, underwrite customers, manage transactions, and respond to support requests.
These applications typically span many pages, each serving distinct operational workflows and teams. This segmentation enhances user experience and productivity, but often results in increased maintenance burden as the application continues to grow.
Although businesses often look to low-code to accelerate the development of internal tools and reduce maintenance burden, these platforms are often designed for building single-purpose applications. Consequently, end users often have to switch between different tools, limiting their ability to serve customers efficiently and effectively.
Today, we're excited to introduce Multi-Page Apps in Superblocks, providing Superblocks users with the tools to build highly sophisticated, enterprise-grade software to manage the most critical aspects of their business operations. With Multi-Page, businesses can use Superblocks to build true enterprise software - with rich features on par with tools like Salesforce - that remains easy to build, maintain, and improve over time.
Stand up complex, multi-purpose applications in minutes
With Multi-Page Apps, adding functionality to your Superblocks apps has never been simpler. Superblocks users can add any number of pages to existing projects, each accessible at a unique and customizable URL route.
Pages are fully modular, enabling developers to create new experiences without introducing dependency risk or unwanted side effects. This architecture allows Superblocks applications to be rapidly developed and frequently updated, while minimizing change conflicts and reducing risks to the end-user experience.

Improve operational efficiency and user experience with static and dynamic routes
All Superblocks pages come equipped with static and dynamic routing capabilities, making creating resource-specific pages, sharing stateful links with your team, and adhering to web best practices a breeze.
Static routes are fixed and will consistently route to the same content, such as a user list at /users. Dynamic routes require parameters that are used to change the information displayed on the page. For example, users/:userId is a dynamic route that would require the user’s ID to be passed through the URL, and the page would use that information to display content specific to that user.
Dynamic URL routes have been a best practice on the web for decades, as including required data in the URL route ensures the destination page can load any appropriate content. With Multi-Page Apps in Superblocks, developers can leverage this widely adopted best practice and eliminate the need to handle edge cases for missing data.

Benefit from seamless page transitions within a performant single-page app architecture
Although "multi-page" might suggest that each page is separate, Superblocks apps still utilize a single-page application (SPA) architecture to maintain the snappy, high-performance navigation when switching between pages.
Utilizing a global edge cache, Superblocks pre-fetches HTML, CSS, and JavaScript elements to significantly reduce initial page load time and eliminate the need to refresh when navigating between pages. This approach enables smooth and seamless page transitions while preserving the performance benefits of lightweight, modular pages.

"With multi-page apps in Superblocks, my team can develop richer tools with minimal overhead. We can have multiple developers contributing to our apps without risking merge conflicts, allowing us to move faster and ship better tools for our users."
"Now that we can fully encapsulate features into dedicated pages, we’re able to reduce visual and backend clutter in our apps and keep each experience easy to use, and even easier to maintain. Our users have also called out that the page transitions are seamless and snappy, so Superblocks apps feel like best-of-breed modern web apps - a big improvement on our legacy internal admin."
"Superblocks did an amazing job adding support for multi-page applications into their software. It is incredibly easy to setup dynamic routing, and transitions between pages are as seamless as a native single page app. This feature will enable us to build out our more complex internal applications that our employees are using 24/7 to support our core support operations."

Selecting a React Component Library, the Strategic Way
For engineering teams choosing a new UI component library, it’s easy to over-index on visuals and ease of use. It’s only when a library choice begins to create tech debt and extensibility headwinds a few months down the line that teams begin to recognise the enormous challenge of selecting a library that can truly carry their codebase for the long-haul.

Announcing the Superblocks Testing SDK: Build Mission Critical Apps in Low-Code
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!
