New and Improved Coffee Bags Management

It’s been almost a month since the last update. I was away in Australia for two weeks and I’m also still dealing with jet lag, but there have been a lot of changes regardless. The most important one being a full rework of how coffee bags are presented.

Ever since Coffee Management was introduced, I’ve been unhappy with how roasters and coffee bags were presented. The two-level structure (bags nested under roasters) made sense from a technical and data standpoint, but not really from the user’s perspective.

I had several ideas over time, but nothing worth shipping. Then I added coffee bag archiving, and that finally clarified how the interface should work.

There’s now a brand new Coffee Bags page that lists all coffee bags in one place. Bags are sorted by roast date, with archived bags always shown after active ones. The roaster list is gone since it no longer adds anything.

Personally I find this a much nicer way to work with all the coffee bags I have open. It gives me a super quick way to go from the list of coffee bags, tap the one I want, and immediately see all the shots for that bag so I can instantly get insights for grinder settings.

And finally, as many of you noticed, the Cloudflare issue earlier this month caused a Visualizer outage too. Cloudflare published a detailed post-mortem that’s well worth reading if you’re even a little curious about what happened.

Let me know how you like the new Coffee Bags page and if you have any feedback or suggestions for improvement.

Thank you and have a great remainder of the weekend! ☕
