Hi everyone,

We have a new build for PCs releasing today to Zet Universe Insiders - Build 5722.3693. As I mentioned with the blog post on the product's roadmap, we are working hard to enable support for building connectors to the 3rd party data sources like FTP, SharePoint Document Libraries, and more. We've heard you loud and clear; you told us you wanted to use local folders in addition to Dropbox, and so... Right! 

Like the 5708.446, this build is BIG for us, as in it we are bringing you the second data source you can use with Zet Universe to connect to. This data source is all about your local folders, so from here and onwards you'll be able to use your local folders to organize your Zet Universe data, in addition to Dropbox. Obviously, you won't get things like "unread" property that could be automatically set for Dropbox files changed by other users, but, hey, that's the part of the deal, right?

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce we're rolling out Build 5714.40076 for you, our Insiders. Like all of the previous preview builds this one comes with bug fixes; unlike others, however, in this build most of the changes are under the hood, as we are preparing the SDK to enable you, our developers, adding custom data sources (like FTP or SharePoint) to Zet Universe. As per the tradition, the build will be available through both the Zet Universe Update System for the PCs already running a previous Zet Universe Insider Preview build, and as the standalone setup application available via the Set Up Your PC web page.

We are continuing to learn and evolve the Zet Universe Insider program as we go, and your feedback is helping us to shape the program as well as Zet Universe itself. Over the past few weeks we heard feedback from you that some wanted explicit support for local folders, while others preferred to have an an option to write own plugins for Zet Universe to access their custom data sources. As we discussed this with some of our top Insiders during the last two weeks, our plans for the product's roadmap have been changed in the sequence of updates to the product's core functionality as well as to the extensibility options. 

When one looks at the modern world, one of the first things she immediately sees is the increasing complexity of everything: 

• organizations that spread across the entire world adapting to the needs of the local economies and cultures; 
• simple jobs being taken by computers and robots rendering remaining jobs increasingly more complex, requiring us to learn entirely new things every day; 
• network economics changing the entire concept of ownership and rent, collaborative work, and productivity. 

All these changes require us to learn and adapt to the new world, and as it was said by the Red Queen in the classic “Alice in the Wonderland” (by Lewis Carrol), to simply stay where you are you should run, and to run you should run twice faster. This is applied to all aspects of our lives, including both personal and professional ones. 

For instance, one has not only to get a formal education, but to continue being on top of the chosen field, and for that, tracking of new articles, works, theories, practices is, indeed, the necessary ingredient of success. Even to keep being relevant in the organization one has to be in know of what’s happening inside the organization, and, even more important, to be in the know of the organization’s business, whatever it would be, and its customers. We are no longer simply acquiring knowledge, friends, customers, instead, we create and connect to networks of knowledge, friends, and customers.

Hi everyone,

Since the release of the Fifth Flight (build 5701.958) we've continued to make steady progress, and as it will be explained in the next post, we are working hard to enable support for building connectors to the 3rd party data sources like FTP, SharePoint Document Libraries, and more. This build is BIG for us, as we've made several important product decisions regarding support of multiple data sources from the same account, as well as on the filtering user experience. That's right, starting with the today's build, for instance, you'll be able to add more than one Dropbox folder to your project space. 

As usual, today's build, also known as the Sixth Flight (build 5708.446) is a week newer than the last one, so besides the functionality that makes it possible to add several data sources of the same application, what you'll see in this build will be mostly small improvements and fixes, as well as a few known issues.

Hi everyone!

Today we have a new build available to you, our fellow Zet Universe Insiders! With this Fifth Flight's build (5701.958) we continue to evolve the features and design for Zet Universe, and you'll see a very important feature you've requested from the beginning of the Insider Program, as well as several subtle changes and improvements, many of which were influenced directly by Zet Universe Insiders. 

That feature mentioned above is the introduction of ability to add multiple items from the Unified List & Search pane onto the zoomable space of your projects. It took us almost a month to bring this, certainly, a really important feature to you, and with each new public build we've been making a new step towards this release. It's now time to share our progress with you, and we can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.

Hi everyone,

Since the release of 5686.35570 we've continued to make steady progress, and although we've been slowed down a bit with all the preparation of our talk on Augmented Intelligence for the RAICamp 2015, we're working to bring you builds each week. Build last week was BIG one for us as well, since new "Unified List & Search" experience was integrated into our flighting branch for the first time. This build, 5693.35720, is built on top of the solid foundation of the last week's one, and is introducing mostly a bunch of user experience improvements, as well as several bug fixes, and, well, new bugs. 

We are really excited to tell you that since the beginning of the Insider Program we've got 199 feature requests and bug fixes thanks to your amazing and never ending feedback!
