User and business needs are constantly evolving — and so is our system. The VSoft archITekt platform has been continuously improving for years. 2024 brought breakthrough updates that not only simplify users’ everyday work but also take the application’s aesthetics and ergonomics to an entirely new level. Here are the most important ones:
1. Independent creation of application themes
A new mechanism allows you to define your own application theme directly in the browser. Thanks to a visual editor, you can customize colors, fonts, margins, borders, and other visual aspects of pages and components. The theme is stored in the application’s configuration, making version management easy.
2. Expanded styling capabilities
New options have been added, including:
- Custom headers and footers.
- Using images as container backgrounds.
- Precise control over spacing, margins, and container behavior.
- Improved menu customization for mobile devices.
3. UX and web application appearance updates
The transition to the Kendo UI Fluent framework, based on CSS variables, opens up new personalization opportunities. Control behaviors have been unified, and the readability of elements such as designer blocks and breadcrumbs on mobile devices has been improved.
4. New features in the web application
The platform now offers:
- New controls (Stepper and Separator).
- Multi-column list sorting.
- A navigation action to redirect to any URL.
- The ability to select an application theme directly from the web interface.
5. Support for new technologies and integrations
Support for PostgreSQL as a database engine has been added, along with SVG graphics support. REST API integration mechanisms have been enhanced with automatic OpenAPI version detection and full support for the 3.0 standard.
6. A new level of contextual help
Users can now access contextual help across nearly every area of the platform — from data structures to processes and forms — significantly streamlining work and reducing the learning curve.
7. Deployment and administration improvements
Updates such as the ability to select service ports during installation and easier API authorization configuration make managing and deploying applications in production environments simpler.
These features and improvements respond directly to evolving user needs. They make working with the archITekt low-code platform and managing applications built with it clearer and more convenient.
2025 promises even more development opportunities, bringing additional automation. You can already try out these new features to see how they can simplify your daily tasks.
