Recently, we welcomed one of our newest community members into the StudioCMS family, not just as a contributor, but as a development team member — Louis Escher. Louis has brought an incredible skill set to our project, especially in the realm of design!

New Dashboard Design and Overhaul

One of Louis’s first goals when he started contributing to StudioCMS was to completely redesign and overhaul our dashboard. But he didn’t stop there! Along with the new dashboard, Louis also played a key role in our branding update, ensuring that our visual identity reflects the forward-thinking nature of StudioCMS.

Additionally, Louis has helped spearhead a full internal logic overhaul of the dashboard. This effort will simplify the user experience while providing developers with more complex and flexible functionality. You can follow the discussion on this exciting redesign here on GitHub.

Introducing @studiocms/ui

One of Louis’s biggest contributions so far has been the creation of the brand-new @studiocms/ui component library. This library is at the heart of the dashboard’s redesign, providing reusable, modular components that make it easier for developers to customize and expand the dashboard.

The @studiocms/ui component library will be released with studiocms version 0.1.0-beta.8 along with the dashboard redesign.

We are excited for the future of StudioCMS, and with contributors like Louis, our journey to deliver a powerful and user-friendly CMS experience continues to evolve. Stay tuned for more updates, and be sure to check out the new dashboard soon!
