Sir Ranulph Fiennes, a British explorer and writer, once said: “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.” You may, of course, check the window to see if you need to put on a raincoat. But this is a bit old-fashioned, isn’t it? Today there are a lot of modern weather apps. They allow you to decide quickly and easily whether to take an umbrella with you in the morning or not.

Today, I’ll show you how to create a weather app with Webix components. You will be able to gather details about the weather in your city in one place. With just a quick glance, you can spot the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and UV index. A closer look will reveal the meteorological conditions, daily temperature range, and air pressure.

This app provides an excellent opportunity to show you a couple of our PRO widgets. Webix Pro offers a variety of HTML5 web widgets that are not included in Webix Standard. They all have their own distinct features and enhanced functionality. Our weather app is also an example on how to integrate a Google map into an app. If you are interested to learn more about such an app, keep on reading.

It was a productive and energetic summer for the Webix team. Let’s recall what we have been busy with.

Today we are introducing Webix 9.4. The latest updates and new features include multilevel Pie charts, 3D Donut chart, link labels for Diagram and even more. Let’s dive into the details!

We are happy to celebrate our 9th anniversary. Webix appeared in 2013 and has been growing and improving steadily since that time. We appreciate the feedback of our customers, as it allows Webix to become stronger and meet the boldest expectations. Webix has already achieved high results and worldwide acknowledgement. We have ambitious plans for this fall and the whole next year, so let’s wish Webix good luck. Happy Birthday, Webix!

Just a couple of years ago, it was hard to imagine that remote work could be the norm of everyday life. But today, it is a common thing. A lot of employees don’t want to spend precious time commuting during rush hour to their workplace in the center of a huge city.

There are much more pleasant things to do instead. You can spend this time reading a fascinating book, drinking a cup of coffee and petting your beloved cat. All of these things can be done while sitting on a balcony overlooking the sea. Do you think it is only a dream? No! It is the daily routine of many IT professionals and not only.

Based on such specifics of work, the company’s managers may have additional worries. It is about tracking the location of staff and synchronizing their work schedules. And in this article, I’m going to show you how to solve such difficulties using the Webix components and third-party solutions.

Spring 2022 appeared to be insufficiently warm. Let’s hope this summer will be rich in hot, sunny days and we will all have an opportunity to relax before the fall, which is expected to be fruitful. Let’s see what spring’22 has brought Webix followers.

The Webix team is ready to present you with the 9.3 version of the Webix library. Our first major update of 2022 includes emoji and reactions for Chat, new types of sparklines, copying & pasting via shortcuts for Scheduler, and many more. Read further to dive into all the upcoming changes.

Webix 9.2 has brought several enhancements for the library. We added vital fixes and performance improvements for the library core, SpreadSheet, Pivot, and some of the other complex widgets.

The Webix team continues working on the library and its components. We are improving mostly due to the feedback of our customers. Today we talked to Ralf van Diesen (LinkedIn profile). He is the CEO of the Advanced Virtualization Technologies company. The company deals with the problem of old and obsolete hardware. They create a special virtual layer that allows existing software to run on the system without changing the hardware. The software designer of the company, Marie-France (LinkedIn profile), is also with us today. We are happy to know how Webix facilitates their job.
