🎨 As you might be able to tell by the newsletter title, we’re launching some big updates on inClimate.com, starting today with a new navigation that will make it much easier for you to understand and use all resources.

🏁 Our backend, front-end, and branding will get a proper do-over this year, so I’m really excited that the first little steps have been taken.

❓ If you know a Supabase expert - we’d love some community help to figure out some of our backend questions.

Community Updates
