Developers building with Encore are forward-thinkers working on exciting and innovative products. Join the conversation on Discord to see what's going on, learn from others, and share what you're working on.
Over the coming weeks we'll be releasing a vastly improved web UI, and focus on adding much requested flexibility to the Encore framework. We'll add improved support for things like: http headers in Encore APIs, middleware, and dependency injection.
As always, if you have questions or feedback, tell us on Discord or just reply to this email.
We're excited to hear your feedback! ❤️
