New Look & Feel for thethings.io

We are excited to announce that thethings.iO has a new look & feel!
2022 will be synonymous of renewal at thethings.io.

While some of you may have noticed that our logo has changed, that’s not the only new thing… 

After a lot of hard work put into design and development, we have given thethings.iO a new look and feel to make it more fresh, modern and powerful. 

The main focus of the redesign process has been to improve the experience when dealing with a lot of telemetry data and complicated things flows. 

We also wanted to give the platform a facelift to make it feel more modern and aligned better with the overall brand of the company.

OVERALL VISUAL RENDERING

Navigation 

The most distinct change is the new navigation, which now resides as a more narrow column on the left side of the window. This is done to save screen space, free up some space for the second level navigation and allow full focus on the thing you are working on, in the main content area on the right.

On a typical screen the main navigation items are now indicated as icons with a tooltip label when hovering over the item; but it is always possible to click on the arrow below to expand or collapse this column according to the user’s preferences.

Design 

We also have refined our front-end technology stack, which together with the Design System will allow us to build a better performing and intuitive interface, especially as we build more advanced and data-rich features.

Onboarding and use ultra-simplified 

We were already proud of the fact that thethings.iO is a very easy to use platform, now we can say that it is even easier! Each screen and feature is now accompanied by “Get Started” windows to guide the user step-by-step through the platform.

Much more to come 

These changes initiate a phase of renewal and we will continue to improve the platform! Coming soon: 

  • New styles for custom web Applications
  • More languages on CloudCode
  • New preview widgets tools and many new and improved widgets
