Highlights
Redesigned navigation experience
We have redesigned the overview page to give you a cleaner and more intuitive experience. This new flow merges the organisations page into the overview page so that organisations are right at your finger tips when opening the app.
Additionally, the organisation view has been fully redesigned from the ground up! This new sidebar navigation approach allows organisations to show more information than the previous tabs approach, making it easier to find your instances and view information at a glance.
Quality of life improvements
This release contains also contains loads of quality of life improvements to make your experience using Surrealist even better! These include:
An improved query formatting system with advanced configuration options for max line length, indentation mode, and indentation size
A new request timer in the Query view which shows you the total time the request took for all queries
A button to clear all notifications, rather than having to close each notification individually
Advanced query result exporting in the Query view which allows you to export your query results as JSON or in CSV format
A button to clear live query history
