Skedda keeps expanding from desk booking into a full workplace-operations suite

◆ Current state

Skedda is broadening beyond space reservations into workplace operations, with a steady cadence of feature releases. Recent work sharpens scheduling logic — day- and time-scoped approval rules and priority booking windows, plus hour-level advance-notice precision — while extending physical-workplace touchpoints through interactive tablet room terminals, booking add-ons, visitor management, and issue reporting. The moves are incremental but consistently additive.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is depth in two areas: more granular control over who can book what and when, and more of the on-site workplace experience (check-in, room terminals, visitors, issues) handled inside Skedda. Booking windows in particular are becoming a flexible policy engine for team priority and utilization. Expect continued buildout of workplace-management surfaces rather than a shift in category.

◆ Prediction

Next likely additions extend these primitives — more conditions on booking windows and approvals, and pushing the customizable/self-service patterns from Planner-style controls into more areas like visitor and room workflows.

SiYuan rides its 3.7 overhaul with rapid alpha polish on mobile and cross-platform

◆ Current state

SiYuan is an open-source, local-first knowledge base. Its 3.7 line was a throughout renewal — a redesigned UI, a kernel plugin system, and a CLI — and the feed since has been a fast cadence of alpha releases (3.7.1, 3.7.2) grinding on mobile editing and cross-platform quirks across Android, HarmonyOS, iOS, and the Microsoft Store build.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is consolidating the 3.7 overhaul along three lines: extensibility (kernel plugins), cross-platform parity (HarmonyOS now treated as a first-class target alongside Android and iOS), and mobile editing polish. The 'step toward intelligence' language hints at AI features, but the concrete shipping is platform breadth and extensibility.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.7.2 to stabilize out of alpha with continued mobile and HarmonyOS fixes; the kernel plugin system points toward a growing third-party plugin ecosystem as the next surface.
