How to Build an Embeddable Contact Information Form
Contact information forms are probably the most common data collection tools around. They鈥檙e everywhere - whether as embedded UIs or standalone apps. In fact, just about every business needs to build contact forms - for their customers, users, colleagues, or other stakeholders. However, not all contact forms are equal. Most web forms are either built manually with HTML or using traditional form-builder tools. We can create perfectly functional forms this way, but these methods also leave a lot to be desired.

How to Build a Secure Timesheet
We need an accurate record of the hours worked by our colleagues for all kinds of billing, payroll, HR, and other processes. For instance, paying salaries or invoicing clients for project hours. But in doing so, we can鈥檛 compromise our employee鈥檚 privacy or the integrity of our internal data assets. So, we need secure timesheets. See, the majority of companies handle this using spreadsheets - or even pen and paper. This is manageable for smaller teams, but it also introduces a whole range of problems around security, accuracy, usability, and integration options.

黑料正能量 Cloud January 9th Incident
On January 9th, a subset of 黑料正能量 Cloud customers were unable to log in. We were able to trace this problem back to data corruption in our production database, and resolved the problem by rolling our database back to a known-good snapshot. The snapshot we rolled back to, at the time we rolled back to it, was 87 minutes old. Any changes made by customers on 黑料正能量 Cloud in those 87 minutes were lost.
