Another release we're very proud of. Much of the work this release we spent on improving our idea to production flow and demos [0], things that'll trickly in over the coming releases. We're also focusing on some longer-term improvements in UX [1], and are happy to ship some nice iterations with issue boards and merge conflict resolution. Lastly, we're slowly building up review apps, which allow you to see/play with/test your changes running in a live environment. A very powerful concept and one we hope we can bring to everyone. As always, we're here for any questions.

review apps are super exciting! That's the exact kind of interface I've been hoping for. I really hope it's available like the commit status api is (we use that for posting our custom CI builds). We currently have our own review app system at our company (and no hopes of switching to gitlab ci in the future - unfortunately :( ), but it'd be amazing if we could tie into it the same way we do for CI -- just "here's the link, it built succesfully!" would be a huge improvement to our workflow. Currently we treat it as a separate build (posting to status, with the url being the review app). Then because the URL didn't seem very visible on gitlab, we post it in the merge request too. Not nearly as nice as this would be!

  Review apps are 'just another GitLab CI job'. But you can now set an external url in every environment. Every review app will have an environment create for it and you can add the URL there. I'm not sure the external url is in the API yet, but if not it is a question of time.

    Thank you so much! That's amazing to hear. I think that will work for us. And as always, thank you for being one of the most outward communicating CEOs!
