What is Skedda?
Skedda visitors now sign NDAs and waivers before or at arrival.
Skedda's last quarter has been about workplace data: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, a read-only API beta and booking webhooks. The Visitor Management add-on now lets admins write NDAs and waivers in Skedda, assign them by visit type, and have visitors sign from their invite email or on the check-in tablet, with PDF copies sent automatically.
What is Nextcloud?
Nextcloud's November patches lean on preview speed and sharing fixes across three branches.
Nextcloud released 35.0.3, 34.0.6 and 33.0.11 on November 12, a month after the previous patch round. 35.0.3 is the largest, with about a dozen calendar and contacts sync fixes, faster cold preview generation, a cached mimetype table, share expiration times that are kept, share-by-mail passwords sent readable instead of hashed, and sharing with remote owners. The two older lines get the same sharing, encryption and audit-log backports.

Skedda
5.0COLLAB
Skedda visitors now sign NDAs and waivers before or at arrival.
◆ Current state
Skedda's last quarter has been about workplace data: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, a read-only API beta and booking webhooks. The Visitor Management add-on now lets admins write NDAs and waivers in Skedda, assign them by visit type, and have visitors sign from their invite email or on the check-in tablet, with PDF copies sent automatically.
◆ Where it's heading
Skedda is extending from desk and room booking into front-desk work, with visitors becoming a second product line beside the booking data and integrations. Document signing replaces a separate tool many offices use at reception.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Visitor Management features, such as host notifications or ID checks, and visitor events added to the webhooks. The entries don't show pricing changes for the add-on.
Nextcloud
5.0COLLAB
Nextcloud's November patches lean on preview speed and sharing fixes across three branches.
◆ Current state
Nextcloud released 35.0.3, 34.0.6 and 33.0.11 on November 12, a month after the previous patch round. 35.0.3 is the largest, with about a dozen calendar and contacts sync fixes, faster cold preview generation, a cached mimetype table, share expiration times that are kept, share-by-mail passwords sent readable instead of hashed, and sharing with remote owners. The two older lines get the same sharing, encryption and audit-log backports.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 35.0 major in September, Nextcloud has returned to its monthly three-branch patch rhythm. The fixes concentrate on sharing correctness, CalDAV/CardDAV sync and performance on large instances, with few new features. The 35 line receives small additions, such as remote share owners, that the older branches do not.
◆ Prediction
The next patch round should land in mid-December on the same three branches; the entries do not show when 36 development will surface.
