Insider-awareness, app/cli upgrades & hardened authentication

Over the past four days, we had a vibrant development cycle with 2,571 lines of code added and 1,064 removed.

Changes

Graffe is not VC-funded. Insiders sponsor the vision of building an accessible, trustworthy data system for all of humanity. They get early access to all functionality and push features to become available for the general public. Some bugs were reported from new sponsors, since we need the funding, these flows have been given priority.

Web App

We've streamlined the web app, a new session sidebar, insider awareness, and mobile responsiveness. Authentication flows are now more robust, and overall performance has notably doubled, halving the page render times.

Insiders Are Now Front and Center

System-wide insider-awareness ensures tailored experiences across services. Insiders, bookmark your exclusive new hub for documentation: https://insiders.graffe.app (opens in a new tab).

Unified Authentication Flows

We've fortified authentication across all touchpoints, upgrading haven as our secure service for consistent authentication, authorization and minimal functional storage.

Dev team speed++

Tooling for releases is now smoother, and the hardening of security is system-wide, setting a new standard across all components for peace of mind and reliability.

Other changes

And also a lot of small bugfixes and improvements across the platform.
And CLI client another size reduction of 18%.

Detailed Changelog

While number of commits is a bad performance metric, it does say something. Lines added: 2571, lined removed: 1064.

• feature(webapp): session sidebar, insider awareness, mobile responsiveness fixes, auth flow fixes, insider page fixes, header working well, loading performance. User flow ready for growth. Renders between page changes have been halved. App is now in quality state.
• feature(insiders): New area for insiders, where we will start writing docs for whole platform: https://insiders.graffe.app (opens in a new tab)
• improve(webapp): Many improvements to the application flow to have a better loading and development experience with less bugs. No more weird race conditions and faster routing without side effects.
• improve(haven). New service for authentication, authorization, storing some minimal data structures. "Haven" because it's a safe haven. Aligns with the platform for securing all apps.
• improve(everything): Make all components use the haven service. Might have some fallout with older versions.
• security(everything): Security hardening in all components before pushing forward.
• feature(webapp/cli/cosmos): All requests are now authentication- and insider aware with fast cached helpers.
• authentication(git): All get/fetch flows from the Graffe repositories are now authenticated. Webapp and CLI are now using the same authentication flow.
