Murphy’s law has been with us for these last few months, so we are really happy to finally announce this update.

During these Christmas days we will update our road map and give you some insight to our future plans for Smart Mobile Studio.

Oh, and we will give our new users and exciting users a great offer when we officially release version 1.1. So stay tuned!

  2. Now that Murphy hopefully is past tense, I like to wish the whole SMS team a happy new year with lots of fruitful coding hours 🙂 Nils

  3. Are you still switching to a form designer ? (ie. greatis )

    I really like the ide/tool, but the wysiwyg experience could be nicer.

    Very impressed…

    • Yes. We want to upgrade the visual designer we have in todays version. It works ok for most cases, but we’re not completely satisfied. Visual binding of events, the ability to use custom components and more edit-features are among the issues we would like to add/improve.
