This gets followed up by a personalized email sequence that's laser focused on getting you to successfully build an internal app.

If you haven't already, please sign up and give the new onboarding a go!

The new onboarding:

✔︎ creates excitement with an initial intro
✔︎ has a dozen framework specific guides that removes the thinking from how to integrate Compose on your stack
✔︎ tells you exactly where to click to get to the aha moment
✔︎ gives you next steps once you've completed the onboarding

That gets complicated when you realize there are infinite different tech stacks and you need to make it dead simple for users to know how to get going fast with their exact setup.

Generally you have about 1-2 minutes before the user will give up and click away.

There's more than a dozen new features in this release. You can read the full update in the changelog.

Dark mode.

In 2025, dark mode is now a requirement for any professional software.

Every Compose app you build supports dark mode out of the box, no configuration required

Pagination.

Adding server-side pagination can take days to do right, but is necessary for any dataset with more than a few thousand rows.

With Compose, you just query your data source and pass it to the SDK. It *just works*, no matter how many millions of rows.

Bar charts.

Beautiful, customizable, and performant beyond thousands of bars.

Build it in less than 20 lines in your backend.

Thank you!

just one example: the entire international logistics industry runs on dozens of PDFs emailed between brokers, who then employ data entry ppl whose sole job it is to enter data into their internal systems. utility bills, manufacturing docs, contracts, invoices... the opportunity is massive!

third: quality-of-life improvements

we’ve added better types, errors, and intellisense to both the python and node.js SDKs, so that it’s never been easier to build what you need quickly and easily

second: three brand new components

- a date time input
- a time input
- a checkbox

with this update, you can now choose from 32 components to build internal apps with Compose. every component is beautiful, easy, and responsive out of the box

first: tables are way faster

we’ve reworked our compression algorithm to optimize table data before sending it over the network. the result is up to 4x faster load times, and reduced memory usage.

Compose tables are ready to handle your data, no matter how many thousands of rows

It's a platform for developers to build internal tools like scripts, qa tools, dashboards, etc

we offer:

1. an SDK for nodejs or python
2. a web app (composehq.com) that handles the UI and auth/sharing/logs/etc for the apps you make

build apps with simple backend code, and share them with anyone!
