The main fall release of 2021 was marked by a number of important updates to the Webix library. Among other changes, a special place is kept to a deep update of one of the complex widgets of the library. And this article is dedicated to the flagship of the 9.0 release, namely, the new Webix JavaScript Pivot widget. Let’s figure out what has been changed and how the updates affected the functionality, interface and code in general.
Barely a month passed after the latest release that brought you a bunch of compelling features. And already today we are happy to deliver Webix 9.1. Even though not that big, yet with pleasant updates. With the new version Chat users can share files with each other, while Spreadsheet supports even more math functions.
We are happy to introduce a new look of the Webix forum to our customers.
Every day we have to deal with a huge number of different tasks. It can be a business meeting, dinner with relatives, yoga class, or just cleaning. To hold all these events in mind and get everywhere on time, we need to either have a phenomenal memory or use “the benefits of technological progress”.
It just so happens that I don’t have enough competence to give you advice on boosting memory 🙂 Perhaps a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition can improve the situation, but that’s all I can share.
In this article I want to talk about creating a small ToDoList app based on the Webix UI components. This tool will help you manage your daily tasks more effectively and will always be right on the hand (on your phone or laptop).

Webix continues to gather feedback from our customers to improve and to look for new valuable ideas. Today we have Malte Sussdorff (LinkedIn profile) with us. Malte is an experienced developer, Agile coach, and Scrum trainer. His current project is Cognovis, which deals with translation management systems. We are happy Malte has agreed to share his experience with us.
L.M. Montgomery once said: “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”. We cannot but agree, and she didn’t even know that Autumns are special not only for their beauty and blue vibes but also for Webix annual grand releases. The 9.0 brings you rethought Pivot widget, long awaited UX and API updates for Diagram and its Editor, separate working calendars for resources and UTC support in Gantt, minor updates for Spreadsheet and Core. Let’s proceed to the details.
Time is one of the most precious resources. If you know how to properly manage this resource you will be able to organize your team work more efficiently. And as a result, it will affect your company’s success.
In this article, we will create a small Time Tracker app based on Webix UI components. I hope it will help you to manage the time of your employees in a more effective way.

The Webix team is happy to listen to our customers – these interviews inspire us to develop and constantly improve our library.
Today, we have Akhil Singh (LinkedIn profile) with us. Akhil is Head of Product at OptiMantra, an EMR and practice management platform that supports conventional and integrative/wellness practitioners (like chiropractors, naturopaths, nurse practitioners) and their patients. OptiMantra’s robust functionality allows these small business owners to manage every aspect of their clinics from patient appointment scheduling, charting/note-taking, payment processing, and insurance billing, to inventory management.

In the Webix team, productivity tools come in all shapes and forms. From robust components to a couple of well-timed memes that brighten the day. A good joke in the team chat often helps keep the atmosphere relaxed and creative. With that spirit in mind, let’s look at some JavaScript memes that hit especially close to home.
