What is WeWeb?
WeWeb puts its AI editor on the phone, a week after adding team controls.
WeWeb publishes a weekly release pairing AI-builder changes with integrations. October brought scheduled backend tasks, AI guardrails, a redesigned dashboard and a rebuilt AI builder. November 5 added SSO, per-member permissions and shared data connections for teams, and November 10 brought the editor to phones, where users can chat with the AI, preview and edit an app, plus connection controls and custom thumbnails.
What is Manticore Search?
Manticore keeps patching 31.x, now fixing a FREEZE crash and a DocID ordering bug.
Manticore Search's 31.x tags remain fixes rather than features. 31.0.7 restored string COUNT(DISTINCT) speed after a collation fix had doubled it to 2.4 s, and 31.0.18 bumped the Buddy sidecar for PHP 8.5. 31.0.19 fixes deferred real-time kills that sorted document IDs as signed numbers, and 31.0.21 stops FREEZE from crashing when it includes a distributed table.
WeWeb vs Manticore Search: editorial side-by-side
WeWeb
5.0DEVOPS
WeWeb puts its AI editor on the phone, a week after adding team controls.
◆ Current state
WeWeb publishes a weekly release pairing AI-builder changes with integrations. October brought scheduled backend tasks, AI guardrails, a redesigned dashboard and a rebuilt AI builder. November 5 added SSO, per-member permissions and shared data connections for teams, and November 10 brought the editor to phones, where users can chat with the AI, preview and edit an app, plus connection controls and custom thumbnails.
◆ Where it's heading
WeWeb is leaning on its AI builder as the main way to work, which is what makes a phone editor practical: describing a change works on a small screen where dragging components does not. Team governance is growing in parallel.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the editor's AI features to reach mobile and more team-level controls around connections and permissions.
Manticore Search
5.0DEVOPS
Manticore keeps patching 31.x, now fixing a FREEZE crash and a DocID ordering bug.
◆ Current state
Manticore Search's 31.x tags remain fixes rather than features. 31.0.7 restored string COUNT(DISTINCT) speed after a collation fix had doubled it to 2.4 s, and 31.0.18 bumped the Buddy sidecar for PHP 8.5. 31.0.19 fixes deferred real-time kills that sorted document IDs as signed numbers, and 31.0.21 stops FREEZE from crashing when it includes a distributed table.
◆ Where it's heading
The 31.x line is in steady correctness work, with several tags a week and each fixing one edge case in real-time tables, backups or query paths. No feature work has shown up in the feed since 31.0 began.
◆ Prediction
Expect more single-fix 31.0.x tags; the entries give no sign of when the next feature release lands.
