There will also be different versions of the badges to recognize when a Creator has earned that badge across multiple month. We’ll also have badges to recognize the most answers contributed in a month, as well as all-time records for most points and most answers earned within a month. These badges help recognize contributions to our Community and showcase your expertise. In the future, we plan to build out Community Hub profiles further to help you better connect and network with Unqork Creators.Stay tuned to the Updates blog for more details soon!Extended Indefinitely: Today I Learned ChallengeIn June, I introduced another way to earn points by sharing the insights you learn as you build on Unqork. In July, we extended the challenge and doubled the points.

Today, after an incredible first Hackathon this spring, we are excited to launch our second Unqork Community Hackathon!The TL;DRThis asynchronous competition will take place throughout the month of August, which an initial deadline of 6pm ET on Friday, August 26.  The topic is our newly enhanced grids system, a highlight of our Spring 2022 release.  Everything else you need to know is available on this event page: F.A.Q.In addition to the details on the event page, below are some anticipated questions you might have. We’ll update this blog with other frequently asked questions as they occur.  Who can participate? Any Creator in our community: customer, partner, Unqork staff, and even those still considering and exploring Unqork. The only requirement is that you have Creator access to an environment. (If you’re able to log in to the Community Hub, you have the right access.)Note: While Unqork staff are welcome to participate, we’ll be limiting the competition to non-staff Creators. You can still earn 100 points for participating and showcase your expertise and creativity if you approve us to share your app with the community.  What’s different from the last Hackathon? Mostly just the topic of our challenge. Last time, we focused on using accelerators from our Marketplace; this time, we’re focusing on the three new grids added to our enhanced grid system: Freeform, Dynamic, and Uniform grids.Other small changes include: We’re asking you to sign up via the event page. When you sign up, you’ll receive the link for submitting your application. This helps us know who is planning to submit an application for the Hackathon. It’s helpful in case we need to send you any updates, like if we decide to extend the deadline or if there’s any other guidance we have to give.    We’ve removed the suggested time limit. Last time, we asked that your application could be configured in an hour or less. We learned that was confusing: did you only have an hour? Could you troubleshoot and refine past that hour? What about styling beyond the core functionality? Did planning your app count in your hour? Overall, while most of the apps could be configured quickly, it seems that most participants spent more than an hour fine-tuning their app. Which leads us to…How much time will it take to participate? We believe you can and should participate in this Hackathon even if you only spend an hour or two on your app. While there is no time limit, there’s also no time minimum. If you only have an hour or two to spare, we recommend the steps in the next question. So then, why the long timeline? As an asynchronous competition, we’re allowing plenty of time for you to build your application whenever you have some free time to explore. Whether that means working for a few hours in one sitting or for a few minutes here and there across a few weeks.  How do I get started? The primary focus of these Hackathons is to give you a fun reason to explore new functionality and fine tune your skills as a Creator. Getting started means first familiarizing yourself with these new grid components. Sign up via the event page. (See above for why 🙂) Review the documentation for the grid system. You may also want to review the recordings of our Spring 2022 Release webinar or our Uncoder Twitch stream on grids.  Searching and reviewing questions here on the Community Hub may also help you understand use cases and how best to configure these grids. Come up with your application use case. It can be simple; it cam be complex. It can be fun, it can solve a business problem. Whatever use case you can think of to meet the criteria outlined.  Outline your general config. Develop a plan; map out how you might build this application. This will save you time and help you manage the time you spend building. It also might help you earn bonus points, by considering what Marketplace accelerators you can leverage to enhance your application with pre-built functionality.  Start building! Create a workspace in the training environment or use a workspace you’ve already created. Why build in the training environment? We need to be able to access your application. Applications in other environments are not accessible by our judges and other Creators.  Who will see my application?Initially, just our judges. But we hope that you’ll opt-in to sharing your application in posts like this on the Community Hub. This will help other Creators learn from your work by examining your configuration and asking questions, or maybe even sharing advice. If you’re chosen as a finalist, many more will see your application on our live showcase event. And the audience gets to choose the winner! It should be noted, others in the training environment will be able to see your application, both as you build and after it’s complete. So if you want to keep it a secret, get creative with how you name it. 😎 Can I submit more than one application? Absolutely! Any submissions received by the deadline will be considered. In fact, I’ll give you 100 points for each application you submit. I don’t think I’ll win, why should I participate? This is a fun way to explore functionality you might not yet have a use case for in your day job. Maybe you’re early on in the build of your application, maybe you specialize with data workflow, but don’t get to configure the UI, maybe you’re part of a large team and don’t get to design or make the big decisions on your apps.With this Hackathon, you get to own every part of building a (small) application, as well as having the freedom to get creative or have fun with your use case!  Okay, but what are the prizes?Each participant will receive 100 points, as well as the Hackathon Participant badge on their Community profile. Finalists each more points, more badges, and more prizes. More details on the event page.  Do you have any examples I can review? Absolutely! If you haven’t yet, consider watching the recording of our first Hackathon Showcase. You’ll see our four finalists demo their applications. Additionally, you can watch our winner, @Pushparaj, explain his winning configuration in more detail on this Twitch livestream recording. Finally, you can find all four of our finalists’ applications, plus a few others, in our Use Case Showcase forum. These posts include their description, as well as links to review both the configuration and the Express preview of the application.  What if I have other questions? Reply below, send me a message, or email to community@unqork.com Newly Added FAQ Can we participate as a group? No. While I love the idea (it’s Community!), most participants will be building on their own. For fairness in judging, it makes sense to keep all applications to those built by individuals. If we get enough interest and participation, we will explore adding a group category for our next Hackathon.

Please see the “How to enroll” section below to learn how to get in enabled in your environment. The Platform Feature provides creators with the ability to upload a CSS Structure. But given that the CSS Structure is created outside of the Platform, issues with how the CSS Structure integrates with Unqork Configuration does not constitute a Platform Bug and thus do not trigger normal SLAs.If the customer is a Service Customer, Solutions can evaluate the CSS to validate it. If the customer is a DIY Customer, they can review Enablement materials or procure Expert Advisory Services.Creators that decide to participate in the Limited Availability Release Program, should have a CSS HTML savvy resource that also understands Unqork Configuration.  Enablement, Training, and Expert Advisory Services can be provided to support customers in this regard.Unqork Product Team would be interested in learning more about how you are using the feature, what are some of the use cases as well as main benefits and challenges.

I’m looking for speakers for our upcoming Success Hour webinars in July and August. Our July event will be on Tuesday, July 26. Our August date is TBD, depending on speaker availability. About Success HourWe’ve had great feedback from the monthly Success Hour webinar series we launched earlier this year. These interactive webinars feature short demos on popular topics in our community, best practices, or tips and tricks. You can view recordings of preview webinars here on the Community Hub. My favorite part has been involving more of our community members as speakers in these events with demos by @Chris Pangrace, @Umesh Patole, @Anupama Meena, and @Anjali Deore , along with my Unqork colleagues. Later this month, we have five more Creators presenting: Call for SpeakersSpeakers are asked to give a short 3-5 minute demo of their topic.

Update from August 8: This challenge has been extended indefinitely, including the increase in the points awarded. Update from June 30: This challenge has been extended through the month of July. I’m also doubling the points you can earn for participating. Details below on how to earn bonus points. Within our recent Community Update blog, we announced our first monthly activity challenge.About the ChallengeThis activity is designed to introduce you to new Create a Post functionality and also reward those who contribute to our Knowledge Base. The key message is that you can contribute even when you don’t have a question. As you discover and learn about the Unqork platform, you’re encouraged to share those insights with other Creators in our community. This is another great way to work your way up the leaderboard or towards SME status. Rather than being limited to answering questions you might not know the answer to, you can showcase and amplify your expertise in short posts. Details“Today I Learned” Challenge 🎯To help ramp up discussion in our new forums, we’re launching our first monthly challenge throughout the rest of June. You might be familiar with the Today I Learned meme or hashtag on social platforms like Reddit or Twitter. This type of “working outloud” behavior is also helpful in building our Knowledge Base through shared learning and discovery with other Creators.

Today, Unqork announced its Spring 2022 Platform update. The new platform capabilities deepen the existing benefits for developers building on Unqork, while also supporting Codeless Architecture, an open-standard approach to software development that allows organizations to build and run applications without ever thinking about the underlying code.  Watch the the WebinarMore information is available below and you can now watch the on-demand webinar of the Spring 2022 Release Show:  Codeless ArchitectureTo learn more about Codeless Architecture, check out this previous update and visit CodelessArchitecture.org.  Spring 2022 UpdateFor the full announcement information see this press release, which includes this excerpt:   Unqork’s Spring 2022 Platform Updates include:An enhanced Grid System that allows users to easily access, visualize and interact with their data at-scale. The intuitive configuration experience will enable customers to build Dynamic, Uniform and Freeform grids from the ground up, giving them the ability to quickly analyze data, optimize style and design flexibility and create bespoke layouts for data exploration at scale. The Grid System supports a wide variety of use cases like business logic and validation, simple or complex data entry, dashboards and data exploration. The Grid System will also be available to users via listings in the Unqork Marketplace - Grid Syntax Targeting & Output Types and Dynamic Index - which are foundational in helping users understand how to best leverage the grid system in their application builds.   The new Enterprise View provides users with a comprehensive overview of their Unqork environment. A suite of dashboards provides users with a holistic view of the health, progress and risk points of each application they’ve built, helping users monitor development progress and identify and address any vulnerabilities. Built entirely on Unqork’s codeless platform, Enterprise View makes it easy for stakeholders across the enterprise - both technical and non-technical - to understand the health of their environment and the overall efficiency of the development process, thus ensuring that higher-quality applications are delivered to the end-user.Expanding the first no-code Marketplace Along with the platform updates, Unqork has released new listings to the Unqork Marketplace that enhance developer productivity and support a codeless environment, including: A Google Translate integration that users can easily configure, giving apps built on Unqork the ability to leverage Google Translate to convert text from one language into another. (View Listing) A Webhook API Snippet to help Unqork users expedite the configuration of a standardized webhook in Unqork, ultimately saving users an average of 5 hours in application builds. This snippet was created in record time - less than two weeks - in response to user interest in this functionality. (View Listing) A “For Loop” Snippet that allows a user to perform a looping action over a large set of data. This snippet helps users save hours in application builds compared to traditional code, for use cases like validating addresses or updating multiple submissions at once. It has quickly become the #1 listing in the Marketplace. (View Listing)

Everyone has to troubleshoot, and often. It’s part of building! Troubleshooting effectively is key in diagnosing your issue quickly. That’s why it’s so important to replicate, isolate and terminate. Learn what that means and how to troubleshoot efficiently in this course: Introduction to Troubleshooting

Today, we’re excited to launch two new forums on our community: Best Practices & Strategy and Use Case Showcase. With these forums, we are expanding the types of conversations you can have to include thought leadership and more open-ended conversations.Our Platform Q&A forum is not changing and has not gone away; it is the foundation upon which our community has been built. However, we recognize that not every question has a specific answer to be marked as “solved.” There is also a lot of value in other types of conversations and posts to share your lessons learned or points of view. Best Practices & StrategyThis forum is for conversations that extend beyond platform functionality or configuration. It’s a place to ask for and share advice, lessons learned, and proven approaches to building codeless applications. Discuss approaches to organizing teams and managing projects. Share recommendations for processes in your software development lifecycle like error handling or documenting your configuration. Use Case ShowcaseIn this forum, learn and discuss real world examples of why, how, and when to use the Unqork Platform or specific features. Here’s a great example.Share your use cases to help Creators identify their next project and opportunities to improve their apps. Ask questions to unpack ways to solve your business problems with the Unqork platform. Or start a discussion to crowdsource ideas for how to leverage new features when they launch.  Three Types of PostsUntil now, the majority of posts on the Community Hub have been questions in our Platform Q&A forum. In October, we added the option to submit Ideas and recently expanded that feature. With the addition of these new forums, we have added the ability to create a general “Post” that is neither a question nor an idea. These posts might be a blog you want to publish, a short update you want to share, or an open thread for an ongoing discussion of the topic. You will see the three options when you click on the +Create a Post button in the navigation bar. The Difference Between Post TypesIn general, all three types look the same when you create them. Each allows others the ability to reply, upvote, subscribe to email updates, or share. The difference is in how the posts work after you publish. Questions are designed to mark one reply as the answer to embedded. Example  Open questions are grouped here for others to help solve.  Ideas are designed for others to upvote when they agree.  Example Upvoting functionality is featured prominently near the title and in activity feeds Posts are designed for everything else.  Best for individual blogs, updates, or open-ended conversations that don’t have a specific answer  Examples:  “How do you structure your teams?” or “What are some use cases for the new grid system?” or a blog like this.  Finally, in addition to the new forums and the new post type, we now award points for when you create posts, questions, and ideas.FeedbackWhat do you think? Reply below or reach out to community@unqork.com with your questions and feedback. If you have recommendations for other forums and features for us to add, submit an idea for our community.
