What is Ever Teams?
Three tags in one day: a workspace UI rewrite, then two rounds of repairing it.
v0.136.0 landed a workspace UI modernization, and the same day produced v0.136.1 and v0.136.2 correcting it — global admins locked out of reports, settings scroll height lost, avatars rendering empty or mangled when the image source is route-relative or a Blob. The preceding tags follow the same shape: v0.135.0 added build versions to the footer and spent six commits fixing that footer, and v0.134.0's demand-driven startup rewrite carried a long run of preservation fixes across auth, transport and scoped state.
What is SmartSuite?
SmartSuite ships viewer-interactive linked record filters and conditional automation branching in rapid succession.
SmartSuite is in an aggressive multi-surface shipping phase, pushing significant features across automations, linked records, forms, dashboards, and mobile in a single two-week window. The Sep 3–10 push alone covers viewer-interactive linked record filters, conditional branching in automations, Slack actionable approval buttons, and workspace-wide mobile search. This is a product closing real capability gaps against Airtable and Notion for complex enterprise workflows.
Ever Teams vs SmartSuite: editorial side-by-side
Three tags in one day: a workspace UI rewrite, then two rounds of repairing it.
◆ Current state
v0.136.0 landed a workspace UI modernization, and the same day produced v0.136.1 and v0.136.2 correcting it — global admins locked out of reports, settings scroll height lost, avatars rendering empty or mangled when the image source is route-relative or a Blob. The preceding tags follow the same shape: v0.135.0 added build versions to the footer and spent six commits fixing that footer, and v0.134.0's demand-driven startup rewrite carried a long run of preservation fixes across auth, transport and scoped state.
◆ Where it's heading
The release train mints a version number per merged pull request, so the tag count tracks development activity rather than user-visible change. The work underneath is real — a startup rewrite in v0.134.0, a workspace UI pass in v0.136.0 — but each lands incomplete and is repaired within hours. The account-scoped assistant history and hardened localized assistant controls in v0.136.0 are the first sign of the in-app assistant being treated as per-account state rather than a shared surface.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 0.136.x patches as review findings against the new workspace UI surface. The assistant scoping work suggests that surface is next in line for the same pass.

◆ Current state
SmartSuite is in an aggressive multi-surface shipping phase, pushing significant features across automations, linked records, forms, dashboards, and mobile in a single two-week window.

This is a product closing real capability gaps against Airtable and Notion for complex enterprise workflows.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern across these entries is systematic composability at every layer: filtering at the widget level, branching at the automation level, viewer control at the linked record level, and parity at the mobile level. SmartSuite is assembling the building blocks — conditional logic, nesting, viewer-facing filters — that distinguish an enterprise-grade no-code platform from a feature-rich spreadsheet. The mobile parity push (Calendar, Card, Charts, Forms, Power Search across six weeks) is a parallel track, not a distraction.
◆ Prediction
The automation roadmap points toward a Wait or Delay step next — the loop, branch, and nesting primitives are in place, but long-running async workflows still require that missing block. A timer-based or external-trigger wait action would complete the core automation primitive set.
