August this year we started to introduce a new pattern in the webui, the left side navigation. From the technical side this is just working fine, but an important piece was still missing, called consistency. We heard your feedback, here is what we did…
Read more...As part of the developer engagement program, SUSE has kicked off the development of the Open Build Service Connector, an extension that brings the Open Build Service into Visual Studio Code!
Read more...On our quest to improve usability, we’ve been tuning various parts of OBS. This time, we’ve worked on the navigation and redesigned the profile page. All of this is available in the beta program, so be sure to join if you haven’t done so already!
Read more...This time we’re gonna talk about notifications. Those of you that joined the beta program gave us some feedback about them. It’s never too late to join the beta program ;)
Read more...There was a severe service degradation of our reference server. We want to give you some insight into what happened.
Read more...Considering the feedback provided by those of you enrolled in our beta program, we came up with another revised navigation structure. The new design displays the main navigation elements on a fixed left column where the options are always visible. We believe this solution brings many advantages and is more intuitive and user-friendly than before.

Read more...It’s time again to talk about the notifications. On our journey to a full-fledged notification system, we put our emphasis on the content of the notifications and kept improving several UI parts to increase productivity and user experience.
Read more...One of the goals we pursue currently is to make you more productive on the go, while away from the computer. So we have spent some time to make it easier for you to change projects and packages in all screen sizes in the OBS user interface.
Read more...The https://build.opensuse.org OBS instance was unavailable for eleven minutes, outside of our maintenance window. We want to give you some insight into what happened.
Read more...Are you member of our beta program and can’t find your package actions?
Read more...Previously we started to introduce a new notification area in the Open Build Service web interface. The goal of this is to enable the users to stay on one medium to get the work done. There is no need to continuously switch between the browser and email-clients to see where some actions are needed.
Read more...After today’s deployment, our reference server suffered from a severe service degradation. We want to give you some insight into what happened.
Read more...In the recent past, there have been quite some attempts, by different contributors, to migrate the OBS API to Ruby on Rails version 6, which came out August last year. Lately, this got revisited by Lukas Krause as part of the SUSE Hack Week.
Read more...One more time we direct our effort to responsiveness, there is a lot to do in this regard and we are proud of our achivements during the last weeks. We heard your feedback and improved the navigation and we have a couple of new things to notify you about… go on reading.
Read more...If you believe so, we’re hopefully going to change your opinion next time you surf OBS within our beta program. In the last two weeks, we kept working in improving responsiveness following a mobile-first approach. Lots of issues were fixed and a bunch of changes were made.
Read more...Do you like checking the status of your OBS account on the way to work? While sitting on the sofa? On a flight?
Read more...The year is coming to an end and we have stopped for a while to look back. Wow! 
Time flies and we have lived a lot of experiences and achieved so many goals.
This is probably the last post related to revamping our user interface (UI).
