New application version Public Preview

[Giulio Cesare Solaroli]

Hello everybody,

we are very happy to announce the Public Preview of the new version of Clipperz:

- https://clipperz.is/blog/2024/04/01/epsilon-public-preview/

It has been a long way, but it looks like we are going somewhere; there are definitely a lot of rough edges still around, but we are so proud of it we could not wait to share it with everybody.

Thanks everybody for the continuous support to our project.

Cheers,

Giulio Cesare

I managed to migrate data to the new version here https://clipperz.is/versions/epsilon/, but the archived data is not transferred (needs to be restored), also there is no option to display hidden information, but Notes appeared; in general a little bit raw so far.

Hello,

data needs to be manually transferred, correct; it's a little
annoying, we do understand that, but it was our only viable option to
adopt a new data format for the account data without having to bring
along all the complexity of the current code.

About the missing option to show hidden fields, you are correct, it's
not there yet.
It was not very high in our list of todo (as we do not use it very
often ourselves, as we usually just click to copy the hidden value)
but it is definitely missing.

Thanks for the feedback,

Giulio Cesare

I wrote to the group because I am interested in how the new version of Clipperz is better than the old one and how soon it will work to its full potential. May I also ask - why you don't, for example, place a small advertisement somewhere at the bottom of data page so that there are no problems with site support and the user does not have to worry about another migration (because I now have two versions of Clipperz and it is not very convenient)?

Hello,

the new version of Clipperz is a complete rewrite of the application
using more advanced tools (PureScript and Scala) that should support
the introduction of new feature much more reliably compared to what
could have been possible with the old code base.

Sorry, but I don't understand your suggestion.
We understand that having two separate Clipperz account is VERY
inconvenient; but the new /epsilon version is just a preview version,
not really meant for regular use.
We (Clipperz team) are trying to use /epsilon daily in order to
identify and sort out issues, but we are not really expecting regular
users to just jump on /epsilon right away; we have put a screaming
banner on the top of the application for just this reason.
But we would obviously love some feedback from brave users willing to
test the new application out.

Technically, with this new release, we can not handle the migration of
users data automatically between the current version and the new one.
Previously we were able to avoid migration issues as the different
versions (/beta, /gamma, /delta) were technically just different UIs
accessing the same core data provided by a single backend application.
With /epsilon we started from scratch, and we have also adopted a new,
more flexible, format to store the data on the backend, but this means
we can not migrate users' data automatically.

Hope this helps answering some of your concerns.

Thanks,

Giulio Cesare
